What's the general temperature at Whedonesque? What does their joy translate into in Buffista-speak?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
About Dollhouse in general (before this episode): It's mixed. There some displeasure from people who don't like it, there's a hint of squick bothering people, an air of desperate from some people who clearly want to like it but don't really. There's also some people who quite genuinely love it.

Not grasping immediately what the "it" you keep referring to is, I started mad-libbing. Monkey sex. Liverwurst. Prison. The Economic Stimulus Bill. Monkey sex.
It's been a slow day.
ETA: And now you've edited it to make me look crazier.

I'm all about the monkey sex.
Episode has been ripped and posted to BitTorrent. This may dent the ratings.

Sadly, I don't think enough people are so slavishly devoted to it that they'd try and grab it now rather than waiting a few short hours and getting it for free.
Wait, are we still talking about monkey sex?

Hah. It looks like the BitTorrent file is a well put together fake, designed to stop other people making the effort of ripping it. Smooth move.

Tim's episode is the first to not drop an audience in the overnights - in fact, it gained about half a million viewers.

Actually, make that just shy of a million.

That's excellent Kevin. Let's hope the numbers go up to/stay at someting Fox feels comfortable enough with not to cancel for once.
