Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Dude. KS v. CC.

Two twerps enter, no twerps leave.

Really? I have no English to describe how completely disillusioned I was with the show when it became apparent that CC had no clear causal relationship to the high points of the show.

Me neither.

Definitely in the same corner with Plei and ita vis-a-vis the X-Files, but I've ranted enough about how so much of the show is retroactively tainted forever and...

I'll stop before I go off on a rant.

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

I checked the list of CC's episodes, and he has sole credits on two of my favourite eps. And on many more I hated. It's Morgan and Wong I like, really. As an influence, they track best to my happiness with the show.

Plus the few that the other Morgan wrote or had a hand in (I think he was just an actor on Small Potatos).

Didn't Tim do Bad Blood (and why do I keep forgetting if he did - I love that ep)? I know he did the Lili Taylor one.

"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

Yes, that. Don't worry about the casting though, they'll have 264 episodes of Buffy and Angel to cull for names, plus however many episodes of Firefly. And although it's not a Mutant Enemy series, there is the entire cast of Wonderfalls.

I hope this means Todd Babcock will get cast on Alias at some point. Last I saw, he was doing $35/night theatre in Burbank.

Now that my Michael Vartan love has withered on the vine, it'd be nice to see someone give him a run for his pretty on the show.

No, Tim didn't do Bad Blood. I think that was Vince Gilligan.

What is even happening?

He was the frat boy in the um...first rubber snake episode, yes? Wait. Don't tell me. Reptile Boy?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Didn't Tim do Bad Blood (and why do I keep forgetting if he did - I love that ep)? I know he did the Lili Taylor one.

As Dana says, Vince did "Bad Blood." The Lili Taylor one was "Mind's Eye," and Tim also wrote "Kitsunegari," which was the sequel to "Pusher."

I have a soft spot for a lot of the old S1 eps, like "Ice" and "Darkness Falls." And someone somewhere mentioned that Badger was the pyro in whatever episode that was.

Remember season 1, when the titles were often very simple?
