They must have signed the contracts individually, though, right? There's no way Angel can sign someone else's soul away for eternity. It kind of sucks either way, but as the one proof of contract signature we do see in the comics is the one I would most happily believe would sign themselves away for the greater good,…

Internet comment boards are absolutely the place to pontificate.

I haven't got an answer, but I think it's intentional that it's pointed out, definitely. And that it's supposed to hurt to watch Fred become nothing more than a literal damsel in distress, not because of any choice she made but because of two idiot men dicking around with powers beyond their control.

It really is easy to forget Cordy's death, isn't it…

Ab by dose comes off.

Give the finale a little time to settle in your mind before checking out the S4 pitch - I don't feel it does justice to the show to consider it as canon.

I don't think the show ever gave the impression that it thought those people should be punished - Jackie aside, the rest were mostly cases where Veronica took the side of someone who was being shamed for something she shouldn't have had to be ashamed about.

It amuses me that one could look at Firefly as cavemen vs astronauts in some ways.

Fred, because Tara was one of the biggest 'oh fuck you Joss' deaths for me. I don't know why I reacted so differently to the two of them, when they're both pretty much out of nowhere and they both serve as plot points to change the dynamic of the show in the run-up to a finale, but just having the bit of hope that…

Seriously - I think I've forgotten a ton of the lighter stuff at the start of A Hole In The World just because I can't bear to watch it. (Not forgotten cavemen vs astronauts though. Obviously.)

Exactly - the potential is part of what makes me love these last few episodes. I'd almost got to the point of believing the world had become uninteresting and there were no more big stories to tell about these characters, but then these last three came along to remind me that yes, everyone still has a hell of a…

Heh. You just know it wouldn't be a tremendously interesting sex tape (and almost certainly would show Veronica taking the initiative, since I can't see Piz doing so if his sex life depended on it).

It kind of does, in a way, in that we know it's the reason Dick acts out in the first few episodes, and it probably underlies a few other decisions he makes this year, but it is kind of odd that it took this long to be put into words. I suppose it is Dick and he doesn't really do words, but still…

Hah, I never thought about that, though it would have been funny if he'd been in character… but yeah, Ryan Hansen's a huge supporter of theirs too - I can't actually remember whether it was him or KB who got the rest of the cast/crew interested/involved.

Ah, Weevils Wobble. Here comes the end, folks…

@avclub-b210215075f68e712aa3d04c9269aea8:disqus Oh, I don't disagree with that - it's one thing that saddens me about the playlist/shuffle phenomenon - but it's still rare that I'd actively forget there's stuff on an album I don't like. I mean, I can be in the mood to listen to Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More (is this…

Yeah, what is it with disapproving glances not carrying any weight these days? It's like by giving one they immediately assume you think you're better than them and therefore the cool thing to do is ignore you (or annoy you more). And it's about the politest way to say "please would you stop what you're doing?" Sigh.…

Vuvuzela. Wow, there's a word I hadn't seen in 2 years.

Annoying adults aren't great either. I had two women behind me watching Hunger Games yesterday who discussed pretty much everything as it happened. "Oh, she left her arrows behind." "Oh, I think she's kidding them on." "How many of them are dead now?" Okay, they were sort of half-whispering but they were right behind…

Reveal has to be listened to in the right mood. Play it on a late spring/early summer morning with the window open and it becomes nearly perfect.
