I was unaware that s2 was so beloved. I considered it to be a subpar romance with just a bit too much hamfisted metaphor and a bit too little fun. Despite a few standout episodes and some pretty swell pieces of characterization, the ongoing story wasn't compelling, the big bads weren't compelling, the romance wasn't…

Because Buffy, despite the lackluster seasons 1, 2, 6 and 7 was a clever, fun action show - even at its worst - that never, ever talked down to the troubles of growing up; Angel, for all its goofiness, was a dark monster movie epic; while Firefly managed to double as a bad-ass action show and a character study with a…

Seven Days?
Psh. If you can't do this for seven days, man, I don't know what to say. Seven days is a week, and you have 51 other weeks in a year to waste with shit like TV and friends and women and sleep and men and food - but for this one week and change, you've dedicated yourself to something bigger than that.

Not NPH - which would be an awesome choice - but a pretty sweet choice nonetheless. I'm hopeful.

I don't think Whedon's banking on a second season for this one. I think right now he's trying to give us a full story in this season and worry about next season when and if it comes so he doesn't have another Firefly, where almost no plot threads were wrapped up in the end.

… clearly, I need to sleep, because the title to this thread makes no damn sense at all.

Of Montreal Approves Makes Regular Use Of The Dollhouse
I'm ridiculously excited for next week… which means it can really only let me down. Whedon is a great writer, but only he can do so much, and expectations are so huge. I predict it will be a really fun hour of TV that won't live up to the hype the cast has…

The Filth is fucked up and scary and utterly awesome.

Tempting
Russell Simmons, a burlesque dancer and a humorist? With recommendations like that, consider this entire series on my Netflix queue!

Hilarious twist? This takes place in the Buffy-verse. In the last episode, SMG, Willow and co. will come in and shut this place the fuck down before teaming up to take Alpha, who was corrupted when he was turned into a vampire on a job.

That's kind of strange to have a specific policy against them. If you can have A-s and B+s, why not A+s?

That really shouldn't be shocking - Watchmen was made to work in a particular genre, and as much as comics is a visual genre, it is also equally text-based, and serial to boot. The reason it worked was because of how it worked within its form of media, so changing the form of media means that there are probably some…

@ bergie

I get that one - every time the character was on screen, the dialogue went something like…

Assassins who do their job well and consistently?

Accursed Work
Pretty excited about this due to Brubaker fanboyism, but the accursed people in charge of me at 'work' don't let me slack off and watch TV while I work, and my lunch break is almost over.

It's a shame that Coraline is being beaten out by Paul Blart: Mall Cop and He's Just Not That Into You and a Jonas Brother Concert.

Yeah. I would've honestly picked Coward, at first, but the more I think about it, the more interesting The Dead and the Dying would be.

Motto is, generally, just a phrase of agreement.

I understand what people say the appeal is, but I have not every seen this portrayal except in the movies. In the comics, he invents the webbing, a material that would make him a multi-billionaire, and that's not all he invents.
