To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

What's next? A new My Bloody Valentine CD? Jerry Lewis' THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED gets a Criterion DVD release?

Well, I'm not saying anything will come of it, but I know of studio talks regarding, "Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League." IJS.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

As for Twillight, Ethan Rayne was an adept sorcerer who loved mayhem, had a grudge against Buffy, and was last seen being carted off by overconfident under-prepared US government types on Riley's order. IJS.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Matt, I've been trying to figure out who it could be, and your theory is AWESOME.

The only two candidates I can think of are Ethan and Doc, but Ethan fits the various clues we've seen about Twilight better. Doc doesn't strike me as an infiltrate-the-military-and-use-technology type of guy .

Isn't Ethan dead, as of near the beginning of the series? Of course, that could have been a ruse.

Who's Doc ?

Joel Grey from "Forever" and "The Gift." The worshipper of Glory who helped bring Joyce back briefly and opened the gate that Buffy died to close .

Oh!!! Right! I forgot all about him.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So, Teppy (or whoever else) - if one were writing dialogue for people working in a comic store, I'm thinking that it might be reasonable for them to be bitching about the demise of Blue Beetle. What else might they be disgruntled about/think is awesome?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

If they are DC fans, they would be talking about Blackest Night, presumably. Or still complaining about Final Crisis.

If you are a guy working at my comic-book store, you are lamenting not going to Comic-Con and getting the limited-edition He-Man and Skeletor action figures that are now going for exorbitant prices on eBay. If you are another, you are bitching about G.I. Joe. (My point being that people working at a comic-book store could also be talking about a whole slew of non-comic geeky things that you may be more familiar with.)
