George Lucas' daughters were such big Buffy (the tv show) fans that George arranged an onset visit and meet with Joss, as I recall.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Yeah, DavidS, I vaguely remember hearing about that.

Wonderfalls was like an extended independent feature, says Holland, a "personal journey movie." Whatever you call it, it was a total labour of love, he says, despite the heartache over how the network booted the series.
Then again, that's what Fox does best. Keen Eddie, The Tick, Firefly, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, all smart, original shows that were dead on arrival. Emmy-winner Arrested Development was barely renewed. Why can't Fox sell anything clever?

Screw that, Matt. Go for Froon. Much scarier.
Dude, we would've had Jabba in bondage gear.
No, no. Yoda in bondage gear. That's the ticket. Exchange the walking stick for a cat o'nine tails, and Master Yoda training Luke has a whole new spin!
I just squicked myself.

I blame Froon for the mental image of Yoda wearing fetish gear, riding on Luke's back, and using the force for prurient sexual purposes.
Actually, no, I think I can blame that on the Yoda Estrogen Brigade and the Sith Academy. But I can blame Froon for being the reason that I'm now picturing Han Solo in red high heels.

Hah!
Speaking of which, it's that time of year again, when I ask if you're going to Burbank. *g*
Last one for me, I swear. Stealth mode again, more so than last time, since I'm not on any panels (yay).

Great, now I'm picturing Chewie dressed in D'Argo's stud-pilot outfit.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That article is confusing and weird.
Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch may have thought Tru Calling's Eliza Dushzu was hotter than Wonderfalls' Dharvenas (and thus a stronger lure for all his football and baseball fans).
Raise your hand if you think Rupert Murdoch makes any of these sorts of programming decisions, or has ever seen Tru Calling, or even knows who Eliza Dushku is.
