Anya ,'Showtime'
[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.
She was a gun that was brought on in the first act and never fired by the fall of the curtain in the fourth act.
No, she served her purpose, showing that the American dunderheads would cowboy in and mess everything up when she only needed a few bribes here and there to take care of business as usual.
I thought it was extraordinarily silly, and I laughed like a loon.
So did I.
Premise of The Inside, is what I want to know. The article made me go, "Huh?" but then I see it's wrong.

This is me, and the Burkle b-story was a nice gut-punch counterpoint. As with Hec, my biggest problem with it was its placement in the season.
My biggest problem was the placement too. And I can't forgive it for that. The B-plot knew where it was -- it couldn't have pulled A aside and set it on track?
Of course, the inconsistency in backstory bugged me too. I didn't mind so much about Angel and Spike's misread of Buffy (I disagree he was only into dark!Buffy -- he wanted her before that -- dark!Buffy's just the only one he thought he could have/deserve). It was Angel and Spike themselves who came across as unthreatening pillocks. Couldn't quite see them as a consistent threat back in the day.
There were nuggets in the A story (ciao, etc), but damn. What a waste of a couple good lines.

I know Kristen (and I) are crawling out of our skin we want to talk about it so bad. Unsure that we can, yet. Where IS that Minear-shaped cutieboywriter? All the answers are locked away in his noggin.
Shouldn't they be promoting that show?
Or do they wait 'til the week before it airs?
Shouldn't they be promoting that show?
Well, it's scheduled for March. I don't see them promoting their January shows yet.
If it's scheduled for March, they'll probably wait until after the January premieres.
Shouldn't they be promoting that show?
Also, they probably had to retool whatever marketing campaign they might have had planned due to the drastic change in the show's premise and tone. I think they're working on a new plan now.

Well, I would hate for you to be that uncomfortable...
Although I suppose Tim might pop by and notice.

Over here, some Inside info. We won't tell. Promise!
