Hoo, boy. Lots of things I'd like to say, but with no coherent organization behind it. Just border line helter-skelter in my mind.

I guess I should start with the most important thing I feel should be said. This series of blog posts is one of the greatest literary works to grace this wiki, and I feel that many have taken it for granted that we have an excellent writer pushing out this kind of material. On a schedule, no less! As I have said before, I deeply apologize for not putting more effort into my replies. In a way, you have something in common with the show itself: being overlooked despite the brilliance and ingenuity behind it, along with the fierce determination and perseverance to make it. You manage to infuse some of TAWoG's "energy," if you will, into your writing, where I can find various things ranging from serious, in-depth analytical review to witty remarks, vague-reference-captions, and friendly banter.

Now in order to avoid jumping on a train to "Flattery and Butt Kissing," I should move on with what I want to say despite the incoherence of it all, lest I declare "I can't articulate this and what I say won't be important," and then not post anything at all.

I know how it feels to be burnt out. I am burnt out. That is mostly why I couldn't offer you (or Guy, or anyone, really) better comments, and also why I haven't been very active. The other reason is that you are very good at what you do. Your analyses of these just leave me nodding my head, with not much else to say. It's that comprehensive, in my opinion. I felt as if I could do little more than just offer a compliment while parroting what you already wrote (and explained in much greater detail).

The other things I want to say, I feel, don't belong here. I'll post them on your blog instead. Which, by the way, I never knew existed until now. I can feel guilt looming over me from having given you all inattention and apathy instead of the credit and praise that you deserve. I've been too focused on thinking less of myself when I should have been thinking of myself less, and more about others. You guys are amazing people, and I say this as a matter of fact.
