'The Message'
[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.
In an early Minear pilot script, a serial killer leads the FBI to a fictional and abandoned Los Angeles hotel named the Hyperion. Sad to say, the hotel, known to fans of the Buffiverse as the former worldwide headquarters of Angel Investigations, didn’t quite survive to the final shooting script. “But look for a very specific ‘Angel’ reference,” promises Minear.
This woulda been so cool.
What episode does Herc think Tim wrote that has the MoG moving into W&H's LA Offices? Is he confusing it with the Hyperion?
"Home."

I think he was talking about "Home," without paying attention to any sort of timeline that would make contextual sense. The way it's written makes it seem that the episode aired before Firefly went into production.
edit: the inevitable x-post
"Home."
*Smacks forehead*
I guess I just thought of that as before they actually moved in. But yeah, also, the timeline makes zero sense in the Firefly terms he was discussing.
I'm damn psyched for this show.
Getting the creator and writer of Miracles is almost if not just as awesome as when M.E. snagged Ben Edlund. Not to mention Jane E. on board too. This show is gonna rock!
hopping from one foot to the other... Can't Wait!
Preach it. I've been on pins and needles since November.
Minear wrote and directed the best episodes of “Angel” series creator Joss Whedon didn’t write and direct.
Is he smocking crack?!? While I'm of the opinion that Joss' best work on Buffy eclipses Tim's on Angel by a hair, most of his episodes of the latter are widely regarded as run-of-the-mill. (When they weren't actively racing the Tidy Bowl Man, as was the case with "Happy Anniversary.")
“But look for a very specific ‘Angel’ reference,” promises Minear.
This, however, makes me happy.
Minear wrote and directed the best episodes of ?Angel? series creator Joss Whedon didn?t write and direct.
Maybe we are to take this in its simplest form. Just because he wrote and directed ALL the best Angel episodes doesn't make the statement untrue. In fact, it guarantees that the more limited statement above is true.
That's my literality, and I'm sticking to it.
This, however, makes me happy.
You say that now. Wait until Spike appears with the amulet, and see how you feel then.
