Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

See Zen, you are on the other side - You can't imagine why you would pay attention to the stupid talking Monkey .

Maybe so. I might chat with it, but I wouldn't be likely to do what it told me to. Which is why talking objects will never talk to me.

For some reason, the magical realism - which I usually love and will go right along with - didn't work for me in WF. I thought Jaye was crazy. I didn't like her much, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think being self-driven and liking Wonderfalls are mutually exclusive. I'd hardly call Kat not self-driven.

I adored the show, but I'm kinda glad it ended when it did.

And I liked Jaye just enough. Never made the leap to Dead Like Me, although I could see the similarities.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Looks cooler than I thought it would.

That's the odd thing. I really liked Dead Like Me.

I really like Dead Like Me also. Not as much as Wonderfalls.

I'm not offended that anyone doesn't like WF, but I think Jaye isn't necessarily supposed to be likeable. Rather, I think she's inherently skeptical and yet forced to deal with the skepticism in a way that rings true for me.

And I have been sitting here trying to work out whether or not I'm offended by being implicitly called lazy (well, not lazy, but not self-driven, I guess).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought George was incredibly annoying and whiny in Dead Like Me. And it made me wonder about why people didn't like Jaye, and about what they were seeing in her. Because I could definitely see similarities.

The characters around George were not enough to draw me in despite her. The characters around Jaye hooked me too, plus I found the acerbity of the writing more addicting.

I love Wonderfalls with a giddy, giggly sort of love.

Some of us live in fear that a talking monkey statue might actually try and make us do something.

Some of us are confident that will never happen to us, because our fanged toy bunny will tell the monkey statue that it doesn't know what it's talking about and should just shut up.
