The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death

[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!

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

HEY STREGA. THINK OF A BETTER QUESTION.

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

*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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I think it's their passion. Hank and Britt care; about each other, about their (ex-)partners, about their families. Whatever they do, they are all in, even if they cloak it beneath a veneer of California cool.

I remember reading somewhere that improv comedy is all about saying "yes" to whatever your partner suggests. I think, somehow (first cup of coffee, yo) that it's a level of commitment to their lives. Whatever happens is important, not melodrama important, but important.

There was also this really natural flow to the plots, and we got pulled in right along with the characters. As they got sucked deeper into the morass of corruption of Ocean Beach, so did we.

Blah blah blah ramblecakes.

Those aren't questions, I know, but maybe there's a seed of something there that could inspire one.

Nice! I got a shout out on Twitter from Alan Sepinwall and Time's tv/pop culture critic James Poniewozik.

Hooray!

Shawn, Tim, and MRJ agreed to answer Q&As. So that will give another pump to the site, I think, so I'll be able to do another Twitter #terriersondvd sort of thing.

I hate not knowing what the bottom line is for FHE. If I knew, I'd at least be able to gage my expectations better.

HEY STREGA. THINK OF A BETTER QUESTION.

I should do homework; it's been a while since I last watched. You could ask if any characters surprised them -- went in a direction they didn't anticipate when they began, either because of something they saw in the actor, or something that came up while breaking an episode.

Is it worth contacting Shout Factory? If Fox won't produce DVDs themselves, could Shout get the rights? Shout certainly has experience doing cult-audience shows and still making a profit. And they're smaller so it seems like you might get a personal response if you contacted them.

It's worth contacting my mom. I don't wanna be embarrassed and FAIL ANOTHER CAMPAIGN.
