All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yes. Darryl is pretty much the voice of sanity around there.

What is even happening?

Those sillyheads and their websites. I really love them for that.

DINNER IS A BABY

Loved that. I didn't so much love how heavy handed they were when drawing the comparsion between caring for drunken Lily and caring for a baby. Not that it's not an apt comparison. It totally is. I just don't think Alyson pulled it off.

During some of the fighting, I thought they were going to end up in bed together. It's likely they will with her living there, but for a moment, I thought we were going to see that last night.

I'm with you there, Cindy. Thought it was way over-the-top and sitcommy. But I still laughed.

I was just talking to Angel (my editor -- not the vampire, because he's still fighting that dragon) and I think recapping a sitcom makes me look at it way more closely than I should. Sitcoms are meant to be candy, and when I'm watching it line by line, it doesn't hold up -- because it's not built for that sort of scrutiny.

Wow, that'd be a fine line to walk, making sure your editor is happy with your work, but not too happy...

Well, some hold up. Arrested Development will take all your scrutiny and then narrate around it.

I majorly disliked Lily acting drunk because i don't think Aly really pulled it off. the baby talk voice was cute when she was supposed to be a teenager on Buffy, but she's supposed to be late twenties/early thirties on HIMYM and now it just sounds stupid.
