Need more bisexuality on network (or any!) TV.
Sadly, I think the only bisexuality that your average network executive will tolerate is from his mistress. And maybe his wife if he gets to watch.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
instead of just pretending bisexuality didn't even exist.
While I agree with this last point, I think it's fine to have Willow be gay, not bisexual. But then again, I think that sexuality is pretty fluid. I have known some women who saw themselves as straight and then, later, gay. I think it's different than someone who sees herself as bisexual. So while I agree it would have been nice to have Willow see herself as bisexual, I think that "gay now" is equally valid.

Kennedy was money, not old money. Someone in NAFDA (Madrigal, maybe?) objected to her having the name 'Kennedy' because old money wouldn't do that, and then we had this big conversation, because it was never said she was old money, and - in fact - as far as the East Coast is concerned, the Kennedy's aren't old money, either. So it probably got stuck in your head as a Kennedy fact, when it was just Buffistas being Buffistas.

CJ was from L.A. Law, yes? Amanda Donahoe's character?

Was Bayliss actually bisexual? I thought he referred to himself as ::shudder:: bicurious.

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

Ah, Amanda Donahoe. Whatever happened to her? She had quite the career there for a few years, especially the Ken Russell movies, and then poof vanished. Off to the imdb (well maybe later, I really have to get my day started - Buffistas are addicitve).

Is anyone getting the HLotS dvds?
Me! I'm so excited. I'm hopelessly hooked on The Wire, was very moved by the The Corner. Can't wait to see HLotS and this Bayliss guy. Mr Simon's got an amazing character on The Wire, Omar, who is an wide-openly gay and hard-core drug-dealin thug and stick-up kid. He roolz.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I remember Bayliss as saying something along the lines of "just because I've had sex with men doesn't mean I'm gay."

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
What's "The Wire" about? I keep hearing about it, though I hadn't until about a week and a half ago.
