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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, for the record, I was a) not the only writer on that ep (which I do still like, btw) and b) did not write the scene that develops the whole "primordial misogyny" idea. A writer who wasn't credited on that ep actually wrote that stuff. Joss.

That makes the comment make more sense, then, right? Because they were talking about the Joss-show, not the Tim-show? WRT ick?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

How about if I make fun of you for not reversing the order of Jaye and Bianca's "Grease?" "Single White Female!" exchange for the funnier-yet-cheaper punchline? I'd mock affectionately...

Did they actually air two episodes?

The CBS execs must have been feeling more generous than the show warranted. I would have cancelled it midway through the pilot when Melanie Griffith started butchering "One Way or Another."

Feel free to make fun for any number of reasons!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

nice to see you in these parts, Tim. i take it you're procrastinating...or maybe you want to talk crafts.

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

He should talk towers and share pictures!

This is what I get for skipping through threads. I was just reading the Buffy and Angel thread where they were discussing the new Buffy tarot card design.

I was thinking, "wow, it's more popular than I thought it would be."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awww, Tim took the bullet for Joss on the "Billy" episode getting a sound feminist thumping hereabouts.

Note to Joss: Remember that Women's Studies minor you had in college? Dig out your old textbooks and revisit them before you do the Dollhouse thing. Also, we're still intrigued by the possibility that you are intentionally referencing both Ibsen and Roger Corman with the title "Dollhouse."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So there. Wah.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Dig out your old textbooks and revisit them before you do the Dollhouse thing.

Or, you know, ask us. Plenty of feminist cred on the b.org. (eta: Err, this b.org. Probably not too much feminism with the other borg, what with the queen and the androgyny and the, you know, oppression.)

Awww, Tim took the bullet for Joss on the "Billy" episode getting a sound feminist thumping hereabouts.

That's how I remember it, hence my comment. Feels sheepish

I did like the episode in general (especially Shining!Wesley and Fred Rube Goldberging her way out of trouble), but I remember there were...issues.
