Sometimes serious, mostly funny, always a little off-center.

You make a good point about Angel in season 2, but if he hadn't come back, we wouldn't have had the spin-off series. And I really really enjoyed the spin-off.

One of my first role playing games was Star Wars, and the GM said that we could play an ewok character if we wanted to, but we should be prepared for it to take a quick trip out the nearest airlock at the earliest opportunity. I liked your discussion on plot arcs and limited runs of tv shows. I get really frustrated when shows run too long. I loved Babylon 5 partially because JMS had most of the plot arc in mind and didn't let it keep going after it was done. I really wish Buffy and Gilmore Girls had ended after the main characters finished high school. It's also annoying when the main writer leaves a show, but they keep making it anyway, like Gilmore Girls and the West Wing. And Angel never should have been made at all, because he should have stayed dead when Buffy had to kill him at the end of Season 2. It was a wonderful sad dramatic scene, and it was disappointing when Angel just showed up again the next season almost like nothing had happened.

Around and into minute 14, we start to lose Brian, and yet I am the only voice heard. About 14:26, though, Brian is returned to us. You might want to check into re-editing this one.
