We first met John when the phenomenon of Studio 60 hit the fan. Since then, he’s represented the international TiFaux audience. It’s a lonely job.

Up next: Maggie’s Dad.

Vitals

Name: John Walker
Location: Bath, UK
Web Site: http://botherer.cream.org
What’s your story?: I’m a freelance writer in the UK, with too much spare time and an internet connection. Dear America, Thank you for making some half-decent television. Sorry about all the reality shows we keep selling you. Love John.
What do you do during the day?: Alternate between writing about and playing videogames, and then meeting real people in the real outside world, to prevent madness.
How do you know about TiFaux?: Came across it the first time it was so wildly and embarrassingly wrong about Studio 60.
Why are you so interesting?: I’d say it was my constantly correct opinions. I’d surprise myself, if I wasn’t already so very aware that I’m right.

Favorites

Movie: Waking Life, Looking For Richard
Music: The Books, Nick Cave, Howe Gelb
Book: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Food: Chicken, every whichway.
Web Site (besides TiFaux — don’t be a kissass): Tempted to plug www.rockpapershotgun.com. But probably www.wwtdd.com for sheer, cruel funny.

Television

The best show currently on television is: ‘Currently’ in the off season seems tough. In a month I’m fairly sure it’s going to be Pushing Daisies. If we’re allowed to pick from what’s returning, it’s Dexter.
But my all-time favorite is: American Gothic. In a level-headed way, I stress.
I’m pained to admit it, but the show I secretly love is: whispered: (The Amazing Race)
Whose shit are you sick of?: Mark Burnett: You had some good ideas a while back. Now please, just stop.
Most cherished childhood television memory: The Adventure Game. It’s a British thing, but: seriously.
Which TV character/personality would you most like to have a tryst with?: Jaye Tyler from Wonderfalls.
Kill, boff, marry — Jack Shepherd (Lost), Peter Petrelli (Heroes), Michael Bluth (Arrested Development): Ok, I think the language divide might be a problem here with “boff”. It means a “teacher’s pet” here, but I’m thinking it’s about quick sex? And do I assign one for each? No one told me I had to study! Assuming this: Kill – Shepherd, Boff – Petrelli, Marry – Bluth.
Kill, boff, marry — Starbuck (Battlestar Galactica), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother): Kill – Klum (Padma every day), Boff – Starbuck, Marry – Hannigan (and also Lily, if that’s what you meant).

TiFaux isn’t just a Web site, you know. It’s a tightly knit community.

And by “tightly knit,” I mean “I’ve never met most of these people.”

As such, I decided to break down the blogger/commenter barrier and pick the brains of some of our regular fixtures. First up is “Vance,” from Toronto. Vance’s interests include TV, Harry Potter, sushi and other dudes. He’s also Canadian, and you know how much I like Canadians (well I do — they’re typically very nice).

Next installment: John Walker (the British dude)
