It means pine-nut in Italian, if you believe Wikipedia... (and don't we all?)

Paying bills, trying to do lesson plans, etc. while finishing the Angel season one re-watch. (Yeah, I got sidetracked from that a while ago with Buffy season five, then starting to watch Due South for Callum-related reasons and... what was I saying?) My reason for posting is this epiphany. I HEART PINOCCHIO. Seriously. Who's my favorite or second favorite (depends on the day) character on BSG? Leoben. Which did I prefer, BtVS or Angel? Angel, even though Buffy was probably a better show in most aspects.

In other words, I like the bad boy who wants to be a real boy but he never goes about it the right way and doesn't quite succeed. Or maybe it's that quest for self-awareness that pings with me. Hm. Nope, I think it's the bad boy aspect.

It's true, BtVS and Angel had very different thematic elements... I just think BtVS was more successful at pulling off the whole allegory thing with high school and demons.

BSG is an amazing ensemble, and Heroes is pretty good as well. I'd say that Friday Night Lights is currently one of the strongest. I highly recommend Everwood to you, if you're interested. It's a great drama without being too soap operatic, and there's some amazing acting involved.
