[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!

See, I spent the first ep waiting for the daughter to die.
When Hank (?did I get the name right, the bearded guy?) first got the phone call towards the end and it was obvious that something was really, really wrong, I expected it to be the daughter that had died. Not because of Tim's involvement, but I expected the henchmen to have caught up with her.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I can't decide if that's a dubious distinction or not. What do I win?

An all expenses paid trip to the Hellmouth of your choice, I'd guess.
Like in Tim's episode of Buffy.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Leverage just tweeted a shout out --so that's good.
@jonrog1 Okay, TERRIERS, you are officially %150 more ROCKFORD than the ROCKFORD reboot. I dig you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Big Bang Theory, too
billprady I just watched #Terriers -- if you want a master class in dialogue and character, watch it, too. I think FX is going to rerun the pilot.

I liked Terriers. It's always good to see Rachael Miner getting some work.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hi! Oh, Timness, I have missed you. I loved some of the dialogue. "I want to be a drier person." And I do find the two main characters compelling.
I too thought the daughter was going to bite it, especially with the "we saved her, who`s gonna save us" line. So I tie for morbidity? Although I was not expecting the body, so then I remembered that I was watching a Tim show.
I like a good solid unreliable narrator. Oh, and I didn`t get the right ex-partner vibe off those two. But I like the setup, mostly. Although I should warn the guy with the girlfriend that we got a dog as a precursor to children, and it`s been six years now. Having the dog didn`t convince us not to have kids, but it also didn`t make us have them either.
