Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Wow. That look is just hideous.

It's hard for me to process that MT is old enough, even though i know she is. I had the same problem with her turn on 6FU.

Tell me about. The bit where she had sex with big black sex (and, shall I add, gay) cop was rather disturbing.

See, I think I'm glad I stopped watching SFU.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't like it, I don't think. So far it says "Hi. My creators went to a crapzillion writing workshops to learn how to write Serious and Sensitive storylines about Big Questions." but I suppose I should give it more of a chance than that.

I really liked it first season, but I think quality has fallen drastically every year since.

No...I was hoping it got better, Matt. Never mind, then. It's...self-conscious or something.

This was how I felt, but for me, it fell far enough (and the loooooooooooong break in between short seasons doesn't help me stick-with-it), I didn't bother coming back.

It's...self-conscious or something.
Yep. And there's this aim to be frank that fails for me, because it feels like contrived frankness. I did not need to see character A using the urinal, thanks.

Up with the sun

I love Six Feet Under because the acting and directing and cinematography are so wonderful, but I do understand the criticism that the writing is not as good as the other elements. I still love Claire, though. (And Nate. And David. And Brenda. And Ruth. And Maya is damn cute, and I love that they just let the baby playing her act like a 2-year-old, instead of having her seem all drugged and perfect.)

That actually beats the used condom display from this season.

Hey. New board.

I love Six Feet Under.

And, also, Buffy. Yes, I know, only weirdos like Buffy. Deal.
