Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

fact that Wonderfalls' premise has been compared to Amélie

I didn't think of that while I was watching it, but it's very true!

And I like Wonderfalls 1, Body count 0, updated as necessary. (Though Touched By a Crazy Person has the appeal of being a Tim quote.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think any ballot that officially broadens the terms of the spoiler policy should include, if passed, the creation of a virgin thread.

That way, the spoiled, the semi-spoiled, the just a little spoiled on this one thing AND the unspoiled will all have a place to talk.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yes. I believe Le Nubian objected. In this thread, as a matter of fact.

Indeed she did.

WRT the new Tim thread: What is the official thread name? I think that Minearverse or something like it was suggested. Minearvana maybe?

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

"Touched by a crazy person" isn't actually Tim's quote -- it's by one of the show's creators.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Is it? I though Tim said it here.

Ooh, that's where we should use "Tim Minear is a fluffy bunny."

Huh -- I could have sworn Tim posted it here. But my brain's a little melty after being in the sun all day yesterday.

"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

Hmmm, so this show is the baby of Dead Like Me's creator?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I proposed Minearvana waaaaaaay back when. It's been brought up whenever I wanted to pimp it.
