But now you can see that maybe Wayne felt like he was always half faking it in Traveller culture and so half faking it in suburbia isn't so odd.
Oh, I like that. It sums up Wayne pretty well.

Experimental TV: Cable Drama
This thread is an experiment to discern the Buffistas' interests in television discussion. It will be closed on June 1st, 2007, after which our community will engage in creative discourse about the future direction of our boards. This is the thread for cable aired drama. All discussion must be in whitefont, with the name of the show upfront, for 24 hours after the show airs, presumably in the US. No future spoilers in thread (take those to the spoiler thread for serious ones or spoilers light for casting type info).

The kicker is that IMHO, Wayne would have made a very good lawyer, as in the kind of law guy I'd want on my side.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I definitely wouldn't wany Wayne on the other side - or against me in any way. Down that path lies madness and destruction.

I still haven't seen the most recent episode of the Riches, but the show continues to astound me. It's full of deep, many layered comments on how we're all lying and faking it to some degree or another.
And with each new episode, I'm delighted at how often Eddie's standup winds up informing the plot, characters, themes and dialog. He's just infused through the whole show. I know, he's credited as an Executive Transvestite Producer, so by virtue of that alone he's given a lot of influence over the show, but he seems to haven taken the opportunity to really explore and run with it.
Also, Eddie's USian accent is getting better, as I thought it might, with practice (and probably dialect coaching).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that's such a strong and valid theme. We're all pretending to be people. We all make our living by conning people to a certain extent. We tell them the portion of the truth that they want to hear. We show them the portion of ourselves that we think they'll like. We try to get them to believe that they need or want us or what we provide.
Their family's struggle to be accepted in Edenfalls, to balance what they're trying to be with what they feel they are, with their identity and sense of self, it's all universal.

Argh. I tried to tape Hustle last night and TOTALLY screwed it up. Does AMC repeat it any other time during the week?

What is even happening?
Did anyone else watch Jericho, last night?

Sorry, this isn't the thread for Jericho!
(I thought I'd posted about it -- but it's over in the network drama thread.)

Does AMC repeat it any other time during the week?
Doesn't look like it, sumi. I recorded t and haven't watched it yet, if you want to see it.

I do want to see it, but given that I haven't watched my tape from last week. I can wait a bit!
