We said goodbye to her in Chosen. I felt a bit angry at the concept of using her as a bone for the vampires to fight over. She's my girl, yo. Leave her be.
The last smile in Chosen, when she was finally free? I like leaving her there and knowing she's living her life out in the world and I didn't appreciate the idea of the hair double standing in for my hero.
This this this. That is
exactly
what was bothering me about it, but I was having trouble articulating it. Thank you for explaining it so well, Allyson.
Jengod says the animated Buffy is still in the works. That so?
Re-posted from Boxed Set:
In an ironic twist, all the actors whose characters' fates are in doubt demand more money and are replaced with members of the former cast of "Angel."
Hee. So let's see - DB has gotta be Clark. I nominate AD for Lex (even though JAR has part of the look already going). AA for Chloe or Lana? Maybe she can play both! Fred!AA for Chloe and Illyria!AA for Lana. Hmm, nobody really fits for Papa Kent, though. Maybe JM (heh!)? That leaves JAR, Andy and MM (maybe she can be Chloe).
The ages are problematic, but I don't see it as any more monkey-crack-addled than some of the SV storylines.
I sound like a heartless asshole, re: cancellation.
I'll join you in the Heartless Asshole corner, Allyson. I have a hard time getting mad at network execs for doing their jobs, even if I wish they had been able to make a different choice.
Looking back at the last three episodes, I think that Deknight was telling the truth when he said that SMG was never supposed to be in TGiQ. I think Angel and Spike were supposed to stalk her, not see her, and then the next week she appears at W&H a little pissed off and talks to Angel about the mission. His scenes with Nina were probably the Buffy substitute scenes.

In my Buffyverse, Angel and Buffy don't sleep together, again.
My my. I've gotten awfully mama bear about my Buffy in the past year.

I don't think they would have slept together, I just think that the scenes would have functioned the same way. To show us his reflections on what he's become.
Living in hayden's brain, am i.
Hey, I thought I was living in yours!
And I'm definitely in the heartless asshole corner on the cancellation, although I prefer to think of it as the stoic & realistic corner.
Maybe it is the same one or two pieces being rehashed in many a place, Gandalfe, but the fact is that Joss is a grown-up. He should know that he got a pretty good deal, all in all. Most writers would kill to have what he's had; it's unprofessional of him to bitch to the media.
That said, I understand why he did so, and I'd probably be a slobbering mess if I'd had to see so much of my work end under unfortunate circumstances. But I would hope to keep my suffering a bit more private. Every time Joss drags someone's name through the mud, there's a bit more of a possibility that he won't get to create another TV show. He should rise above & let the fans do the mudslinging.
