Matt Roush, I think.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Yes! The Roush Report. He relentlessly plugged Buffy. Warmed my heart.

Matt Roush also relentlessly plugged Farscape, not that it did the show much good. But he's just about the only major-outlet critic who seemed to know the show existed, much less appreciated it.
I have fond memories of a Joyce Millman column about Homicide, called "God's Favorite Cop". She may not see exactly what you or I may see in a show, but she really does have a fannish sensibility about television, and for that I must appreciate her.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Just noticed the OMWF DVD was released in the UK last Monday.
Which seems kinda sleazy, considering the Season 6 Box set is released on May 14th.
In a bizarre attempt at cross-promotion, Blackstar claims the OMWF has an interview with Jessica Alba.

Is Roush the big AtS fan?

Actually, whoever the TV columnists at Entertainment Weekly were also loved Buffy; many, many cover stories on Buffy graced that magazine over the years.
I. Want. My. H:LOTS. DVDs.

You fiendish UnAmericans! (runs off to Amazon.co.uk)
Is it still conventional that all DVD players bought in the UK, Australia, and Europe have been hacked to kill region codes? Or did I hallucinate that?

Not all but a lot of DVD players have the means to circumvent the region coding. Usually it's by means of a "secret" code you have to input using the remote control. The players that don't have this ability, are usually the more expensive and/or big-name brands.
A lot of the players available in the US can also have their region coding changed. The trick is having a player that can specify a region, thus ensuring RCE is also overcome.

FTR ... I have DVDs from Australia, America and the UK and they all play perfectly.

Oh, I have a hacked DVD player. I'm just curious if it's de rigueur outside the American region. I had heard that everyplace except America, nobody is willing to buy DVD players that aren't region-hacked.
