This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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

What are the choices for the Minear thread?

I don't know if anyone has suggested "fluffy bunny" the script that Joss signed.

I would like a fluffy bunny Minear thread. I really liked Plei's idea of the ever changing kill count, though.

Received Jess. I hope to have time to look at them late tonight.

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

I'm partial to "Tim Minear: Pray to your big, filthy monkey god" myself, but I think it's a minority view so far.

No, no - that works for me.

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 really liked Plei's idea of the ever changing kill count, though.

But, it's not a Wonderfalls thread.

If you want to make it cumulative, that'd be funny.

We could just call it Minear's Butcher's Bill: 28 Victims and Counting

Now, who's anal enough to check back through Zorro for the headcount?

If Kristen doesn't have that information at her fingertips, she's dead to me.

Hee. Me too, though I'm partial to the full quote.

Like this too. And it would be less spoilery if it changed, since you wouldn't necessarily know if someone on WF kicked or we somehow discovered extra bodies in Tim's screenwriting 101 term paper.


Kristen - Jul 28, 2003 2:34:05 pm PDT #3698 of 10005

Well, how dead are we talking? Are we only counting recurring characters deaths? Or does every non-speaking 5th vamp to the right get credit?

Also, are we only including episodes that Tim is credited with writing? Or eps that he really did write but wasn't credited?

This is a complicated question you're asking.

Fruity Pebbles:

or we somehow discovered extra bodies in Tim's screenwriting 101 term paper.

Also, I can't count anything pre-L&C. So if he killed 197 people on Zorro, I don't have that info.
