Allyson, Natter, on job-hunting:
Trying to work out how I heard that they were looking for a fundraiser. "So I was chatting about the tenderness of capybara hair and sneering as a metaphor for vampire homosexuality at a BtVS message board one Saturday morning, and someone mentioned you needed a new fundraiser."
Caroma, in Angel Quotes, talking about non-spoilery ways to fine tune the show:
As for Gunn, the writers need to be tied down in front of a continuous playing of 'The Best Moments of Meldrick Lewis' from HOMICIDE, to see how to write a memorable, witty, brave, conflicted black man. They have a lot in common- -both from poor families, interested in justice, good teammates but not willing to put up with any dissing from the others, not too interested in what little rules they have to break to get there, decent and honorable and yet quite imperfect.
PMM in Smallville:
Time heals all wounds that are neither sucking nor chest.
From Natter:
Steph L: I have 4 rooms and a nomadic roach population.
Aimée: Do they use ants to move their stuff from room to room?
Steph L: I strongly suspect so.
Aimée: I think our ants use the dog. They tempt him with treats.
Context is for wimps.
JON B: I liked the blood, but I respect your concerns.
Shrift in Firefly:
Okay, ita is the third Death Star that was never built because leaning on her too hard will probably make her "accidentally" break your nose, and she'd shishkabob the Ewoks, and "Death Star" is too cool a name to waste on shoddy empire contract work.
Noumenon in Firefly:
OH MY GOD! ita is a moon on one of Tim Minear's shows! She's DOOMED! This is gonna be worse than Alderaan!
(this should be the prefix to the above.)
And to make it a trilogy, right after Hec's quote:
DXMachina: That's what happens when you always go with the low bidder.
Madrigal Costello: I can just see all those Imperial workers slacking off, spending their days nattering online about whatever passed for Buffy in their day, since it was a very long time ago, I suspect they had a primitive version of the show.
And MM with the follow up...
Something like "B'oofah the Jedi Slayer".
And the nattering would be something like. "I can't believe Jo'ss is having B'oofah sleep with that soulless Jedi. That's so lame. What about Anjell? B'oofahnAnjell4rceEvah!!!!11!!!!"
The more I think about it, the more I think we need the whole thing.
Ling Mao: ita, you rock!
PMM: she's not a rock, she's a moon!
Miracleman: That's no moon...that's a space station!
Sorry. Sorry. Geek reflex. Sorry.
shrift: But ita is so the Death Star!
Madrigal Costello:
Which one? The first one which blew up if someone just leaned on it too hard, or the second that was capable of mass destruction even with a big piece missing, and required the death of several ewoks to destroy?
