Also, I recently finished the entire Buffy series. The new full series boxed sets are awesome. I'd not really seen the show, believe it or not. Not with any kind of serious consistency. Now I'm all fan boy
I kind of love this.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

[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!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
When the person saying it is making a living replacing the hot chicks' brains with Folger's Crystals and then renting their bodies out to the highest bidder and his reaction isn't abject horror but "Yay! Hotties!"
That's true. Perspective is everything.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

And now, when ill-informed reporters ask you which episodes you wrote, you can really fool them!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I really loved the direction on "Out of Gas"
Heh. Even though Tim didn't direct it, I love that episode beyond the telling of it. In point of fact, I woke up thinking about it this morning (no lie). Specifically, about Mal waking up with everyone there, and Wash hooked up to him with Zoe on the bunk right behind Wash, and how - maybe for the first time - Mal understood that his crew placed him as high in their esteem as he placed them in his.
"You're all gonna be here when I wake up?" / "We'll be here." / "Good. That's good..."
Anyway. I also went to a Neuromancer place when I heard about the premise for Dollhouse. I'm adopting a "we shall see" attitude about my issues, while hoping like hell that the show does well.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hm. Eliza Dushku as Molly.
...I could kinda see that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Comparing Echo to Molly might not be the best thing; William Gibson (much as I adore him) does not have the best track record on women characters either. He makes them strong, yes, but they're all prototypically prostitutes (Molly, Mona, Sybil) or children (Kumiko, Chia, Chevette) or sexually idealized nonpeople (3Jane, Angie, the Idoru, the Belonging Kind). Except for Cayce. I think Cayce was okay; she was an adult professional. I can't remember anything that pinged me about her.
There are definitely potential problems from that trailer, but we'll see. If I were guessing, I'd lay money on me not sticking with it because sexual abuse and messing with memory are both personal hot button issues for me. The amount of messing with memory that they do on Torchwood is enough for me to often feel they were all villains. So I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be happy. But we'll see where they go with it.

Still haven't seen the trailer, but I always remind myself that the trailers are the work of the network, and we're talking about Fox here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heh - yeah, I wasn't necessarily seeing the Molly parallels as comforting.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

oh they are. Not a good one in the bunch. It's one reason why I love that show.
