I was kinda surprised by how much the season around that episode sort of... um. Er. Gotta go.
I didn't think it was possible, but I love you EVEN MOAR!
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

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

I made fun of "I Fall to Pieces" in "Through The Looking Glass."

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I'm rewatching as well and will be starting Season 6 of Buffy and Season 3 of Angel this weekend. I have always liked season 6 although I haven't watched it since the initial airing (except for OMWF). It will be interesting to see if my reactions are at all different. Somehow I doubt it.

I was just talking to a friend of mine, who recently visited Bangkok. She said that there were 2 episodes of Drive available on the in-flight on-demand TV on the flight home.
Odd.

Yeah, but it is so easy to make fun of. If you managed to successfully mock "I Will Remember You" or "Hero," well, the fans would have probably lynched you, but it would be lynching that respected your narrative skills...

"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
While both those episodes had very poignant elements, they were not impervious to mockery.
I Fall to Pieces, people. The dude's teeth launched themselves out of his mouth.
Complete with the upper palate, no less! They were missing only the wind-up key! (I did love how Angel just nonchalantly smashed them against a post instead of being freaked out though. Looks like all that practice getting bitten by Darla was good for something besides the obvious...)

I'm a little confused. I did not get the impression from anything I'd heard that the women in the Dollhouse were supposed to be clones.
Did the person who posted that get it wrong? Or did I just overlook something previously stated and have totally spaced it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did the person who posted that get it wrong?
Well, consider they also called it this:
the new series from Joss Whedon and Tim Minear.
whereas Tim says:
it's nice to be on someone else's show for a while

The awesome team who brought you Buffy.
Regarding that scene, was that intentionally released into the world? Were there other scenes with it?
