"I do not understand why it disturbed Wesley so when I assumed the Burkle persona. I would have thought that he would enjoy her company."

"Well, pet, that's the thing. You're not her; you killed her. I know you didn't mean to, really, but when you did, it broke something inside him. Sometimes what's broken can't be mended. You can try, but there'll always be the seamy bits where the glue didn't quite fill in the gaps."

Illyria tilted her head. "You are wise beyond what the others know."

Spike gave her a little grin. "Don't tell them, okay?"

A rant about FoxTV

Well, gee. Looking over the new season for Fox, what do we find?

North Shore--another boring night-time soap opera about twenty-somethings screwing each other. Whee.

The Swan 2--Franken-models. Again. Ugh.

The Billionaire--another Survivor-style "reality" show. Blah.

The Next Great Champ--yet another "reality" show, this one searching for a great unknown boxer so they can make him known. Why, yes...I'm just itching to watch a show about a sport where the object of the exercise is to beat the snot out of the other person. Give me more.

Method and Red--a couple of rappers buy a house in an upper class neighborhood. Wackiness ensues. Does anyone who's seen the ads for this show think it's even going to be remotely good?

The Jury--this one might be interesting. It takes a case and presents it and then lets a jury decide if the defendant is guilty or innocent. Meh. I might catch the first ep or so. Adam Busch is in it, so that at least gives me some reason to watch, even though I hated Warren with the fire of a thousand suns.

House--an acerbic pathologist diagnoses deadly diseases. This one might be okay too.

So. I'm looking at this lineup....and wondering why in the world "Wonderfalls" was cancelled. It was funny, it was original, it was interesting, and it was different.

I guess that's why it had to go.
