PMM, on her (nonspoilery) reaction to Firefly:
And now I'm so firmly in love with this show, I want to take it to dinner, introduce it to all my friends. Hell, today it met my parents.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I'll take evil over nekkid, though a combination of the two wouldn't hurt.
Will "evilnekkid" join the recently coined "wannabevil"?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Liese S. (non-spoilery for Firefly):
I shouted about the red button, too. The boys who were in my house recording made with the mockery. But I withstood it, because I am a Buffista, and because they're going to be in my house a lot, and lo, when comes a Friday night and they are there, then indeed will the bright light of Firefly rise and shine amongst them, and toasters are made with the sweat and tears of many inadvertent viewings.

ita, in Firefly, on Tim Minear's evilitude:
God, he's evil.
"No he's not. He needs to kill Inara to really be evil. He's just evil-lite. Faux-evil. Wannabevil."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tim Minear, in Firefly:
I was sitting there trying to write and thinking, "God. Not a funny story. I don't know any funny stories. I can't do this. Nothing's funny. And nothing's worse than some lame-ass fake funny story in a scene written by some lame- ass writer."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Ita, in Firefly:
Yay for bad-ass women and the talented doofs that love them.
stop looking at me like that

Cindy, what's his name? I'll kill him in a future episode.

Allyson in Buffy 1:
Agreed. I want it to end on a note of passion, tragedy, pain, and snark. Leave me with pretty memories, so that I'll really miss our girl, and speak of her fondly. I don't want to be in some lame bar a year from now talking about how she broke my heart and slept with my best friend and drained my bank account. I'll sit there, bemoaning the injustice, swearing off Slayers for good, drinking bitter ale to match my bitter heart. It'll be pathetic, especially since you can't smoke in LA bars to add that noir effect.

Billytea, in Buffy, with a musical critique I'd never considered before:
Seriously: you're in the desert for three days? Nothing else going on? Name the stinkin' horse.

From Firefly - dunno who said the first half of exchange:
Victor Infante: My Kaylee love needs no justification.
Billytea: Apparently, it barely needs a room either.
