So what happens to Mutant Enemy given the way writers are moving on to other things? Perhaps I missed this in other explanations.
With the Firefly movie, plus umpteen marketing vectors for Buffyverse stuff, I doubt it's going anywhere for a while.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I watched Salvage today, too (and wondered why it wasn't called "Release" since that's all they were doing). There were a couple connections to the finale that caught my eye-- first, (this was in the previouslies) Angelus singing "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" for Lorne. Second, Angelus baiting the BRDS for being the "flunky" of the beast. And I can't remember the other thing.

Just watched 4 Firefly commentaries in a row, from "Shindig" straight on through "The Message". Mind reeling with the funny overload.
Too tired, must sleep now. But wanted to say thanks to Caterpillar - I can't promise it will be any good, but I'm psyched to have a somewhat original premise for once.
And to post a random thought that occurred to be about the WB's knife-twist at the end - maybe they did it because they knew that many of us aren't going to watch their evil network anymore, and so they took the opportunity of getting one last dig in before we changed the channel for good. So thoughtful of them, really.

Hey. New board.
Or maybe they did it for the simple reason that most Angel watchers are not Buffista-smart. Or even saveangel.com smart. And they assume that most of the WB viewers of the Angel finale will not view the "Thank you for being with us for the last five years" thing as offensive.
Which, no matter how much I personally am annoyed, is probably true. Can't blame them for doing it, unfortunately.

I don't think they intended to be offensive. It just rubbed me the wrong way, because we're not friends. We'll never be friends. We'll be in love till it kills us both. We'll fight, we'll shag, we'll hate each other till it makes us quiver, but we'll never be friends. Real love isn't brains, children, it's blood, it's blood screaming inside you to work its will. We may be M.E.'s bitch, but at least we're Buffista enough to admit it.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Hee. I was going to say, "What Cindy said," but in fact I'm trying to find out if I can keep my cable Internet and cancel my cable TV. So not so much TV's bitch.
I think the WB was clueless, because there's no percentage in them being deliberately offensive. And I don't think they're the source of all evil for following the money, which is why I never posted on the cancellation earlier. Yeah, it makes me sad, but they gave the show 5 years and enough warning for a wrap-up -- that strikes me as pretty decent, all things considered.
Even the "Thank you" would have hit me less hard if they'd let all the credits play out first.

I'm not really TV's bitch, either. I think I'll amend that to M.E.'s bitch.
eta, thank you -t.
also...

Yes. And if it didn't say "your friends." It was just corny, and not really true. I mean, they're not our enemies either, but they're not our friends.

Well not your enemies perhaps. "We hates them precious, hates them forever...."

Well, also, the WB does this for every show that's ending, regardless if it's going away voluntarily (Dawson's Creek) or not (Felicity, Angel).
