And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

[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!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds great, actually. And you're totally fine at it, but I bet if you wanted, you could talk to Ethan Alter about it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Kristen brought up a good point: Hank and Britt and so completely ordinary...how did the writers make them so compelling? I mean, they have fairly ordinary lives (and ordinary is messy), but they're so beautiful to watch. I think about Jaye in Wonderfalls. Something extraordinary is happening to her, but she's otherwise leading a completely ordinary life, and she's still compelling. Even if you take out the talking monkey, Jaye is so watchable. How they do that?

I mean, it's not really a show about a case that needs solving, it's a show about the people who solve cases. Sometimes I wanted the cases to get the fuck out of the way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

They are so completely, gorgeously, tragically human.

Do you expect an answer to that, though? I feel like "How did you do that?" is awfully close to asking "Where do you get your ideas?"

Anyway....It might be worth noting that the videos that were made for the FX production blog are still on YouTube. [link]

Yeah.

I'm trying to think of the questions I enjoy answering. With Sam, it's always, "why bats?" And can I talk up a storm about "why bats."

HEY STREGA. THINK OF A BETTER QUESTION.

*I* want to know why Ocean Beach. Because it's a very specific kind of place and it was so clearly not made up. Except, I guess, that answers itself. Someone is either from there or lived there or spent time there. Because OB was nearly a character. And I dug that.

I don't have questions. I have commentary that is badly punctuated.
