Um, I dunno. There was a Jim-shaped bottleneck until last month, but they've gone on to Fiona now. Not sure w'appens next.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Yeah, I thought I remembered you were before Fiona, that's why I didn't even ask you, because I figured it's out of your hands by now. Thanks, anyway.

Yes, Nilly, it's all my fault. I've been meaning to email you and John about it. I doubt there's much point in sending Buffy and Angel to Oz any more, as they're about as far as I am. So the question is: do you want all the tapes direct? And does John want Firefly? Let me know.
(In my defence, I have to say: I only had the first few eps until recently, plus I still haven't watched Firefly myself yet, as I want to see it with SO but we never, ever find the time. But I guess we can watch FF when we get the tapes back, so we can work something out).
New tapes Jim? Cool. OK, I know this question is ironic, given the circumstances, but: when can I expect them?!
Re Angel: I didn't read your post in detail, as I've yet to see those eps, but I certainly do agree that this season has lost its way. German TV showed an episode from Season 3 last night (That Vision Thing, I think), and it was a whole other ballgame - tighter, more assured, more relaxed. I really hope Tim and Joss are around more next season to put it back on track. If there is a next season, of course.

No, not asking for any faults - just wanted to know what was going on, that's all. I'm very grateful just to get the opportunity to watch those episodes/show (Firefly). No defences or anything like that, please.
I guess I'll just wait for John to make up his mind regarding what he wants, since he got dibs, and I'd love to get anything he doesn't want. Oh, and as for "Firefly" - I think it's only fair you watch it first, I mean - they're your tapes.
Fiona - May 01, 2003 5:56:47 am PDT #4291 of 9843
Yeah, but if you were to wait for us to watch FF, it could take - seriously - months if not years. So I think it's best to send you them first. I'm feeling guilty enough as it is!

Fiona, if you continue feeling guilty about something that is not really anybody's fault, I won't accept the tapes at all, as a punishment for myself for making you feel guilty (becuase I brought it up, so I feel a bit guilty about it), and think of how guilty you'd feel then!
[Edit: I don't think I've ever written a sentence with such a vast use of the word 'guilty'. I feel like the queen from "Alice in Wonderland".]
Um, what I mean is, if that is what you think is best, then I won't refuse. I'll accept with loads of thanks.

Fiona - I have 1 more Angel to watch, then I will send you 2 tapes. I will. I will.
BTW, I was going to mention to Jon that the next batch should go straight to you - I have BT now, and Sky is almost up to date anyway.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Seekrit message to Jim:
It's verging on David Eddings.
Not until they replace "Champion" with "Bleak Champion". Which, granted, they very easily could.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
A call for help: does anyone know of an English language site selling Dutch R2 DVDs? I just discovered John Carpenter's They Live was released last November. There is a UK R2 version but the Dutch release is a Special Edition, with another must have commentary by John Carpenter and Roddy Piper.
