Buffistas

You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't feel that sad for the contributors to SavingAngel, though. Margot and the others, while far more optimistic than I, never promised anything they couldn't deliver. All they could do was draw increased visibility to the show's cancellation, and they always seemed clear (to me, anyway) that success would be the longest of shots. They provided a way for fans to make their voices heard, which is all anyone could reasonably ask for.

SaveAngel seemed from the start to be much more about the organizer's ego than about any goals that would benefit fandom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The secondary virtue of fan campaigns - even with a lost cause like Angel - is that it makes clear that ME has a big and avid fanbase. Which I have to think is a factor in greenlighting decisions for Serenity or looking at a Buffy animated series. Things like that.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I tend to not be interested in fanfuffles, but this makes me laugh and laugh- from a link at the beginning:

nameremoved: I also disagree with profiting from the fans. This is something that I don’t agree with.

Who knew Mojo Jojo was a fan of Angel?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. He probably has the hots for Fred/Ilyria.

Four Buffiverse TV Movies???

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Potentially spoilery -- if you want to be ignorant of how things went down in the alley, stay away.

Thanks for the warning. What's the gist--that there might be four Angel made-for-TV movies? (My guess.)
