Geez, how could I have forgotten about the Shadow Chasers when I was doing this survey or what ever it is? Or the Prisoner?

On the other hand, I was purposely trying never to recall The Sentinel...but you had to bring it up again, damn you. (Getitoffme! Getitoffme!! AARGHH!)

The Sentinel is one of those puzzling things, like the repeated election of Ronald Reagan or the way Saturday Night Live will never go off the air.

X-Files is the abusive bastard who always broke my heart, and my friends all tell me he's no good and that it's better now that he's gone... but still I wake up nights reaching for him, and use him as a point of comparison despite myself and despite extensive measues taken to distance myself from him.

The fink.

He's been smart enough never to let me see that side. Fucker ever touches you again, tell me and I'll kick his skinny ass. I will not tolerate that sort of thing.

I've just realized that Beauty and the Beast was the drinking buddy who tortured feebs for entertainment while I was ungracious enough to laugh.

Beauty & the Beast. He was bad for me. I was bad for him. It got messy. Like a relly bad noir. ::sigh::

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you gotta admit, you had some laughs.

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

Mostly at the expense of others. ::smirks::

Best kind.
