But why should you have to air as written, or produced? All that matters (to me) is the continuity of the arcs and the character development. The stories can be applied as needed.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

[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.

OK, so my paper's weekly guide doesn't have it listed. But it lies a lot. Of course, the bigger problem is my non-tv-reception-having parents are coming into town to stay with me tomorrow and I really doubt I can make them sit through actual tv-with-commercials. Or rather, I don't know I could survive the caustic commentary on commercial. Oy. Maybe to tape.

What is even happening?
That's good to know, Tim. There's closer to the earth, and then there's six feet under it.

The evil is this way?
The important thing is that Scott dies in the 9th episode. That's why I'm watching.

Maybe if there's a Burger King commercial they'll be traumatized into silence, and you'll have worried for nothing.

I don't think anything could traumatize my father into silence.... BKman might make him explode, though. msbelle, I'll try to tape it, but I would so appreciate the backup in case tomorrow is crazy and I forget.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Putting stronger, or more 'in tone' episodes first, in my opinion is a good thing(tm). And I'm not just saying that as a Fanboy(tm) thing, I really do feel that (and in some respects I actually liked the original running order of Firefly in places for this reason - although obviously, pilot last - issues).
I shall do a body count for the site. I was thinking about asking Tim for an interview for TI.org to go out Wednesday midday, as it'd get copied across all the Buffy/Angel/Firefly etc websites (you can viral market online using fandom bases quite well) -- but I don't want to disturb you, Tim.

It's interesting, and maybe after things air we can discuss,
Yes. It's very hard to have this discussion without spoilers.
but the three I picked to go first were not at all the first three written or produced.
I like the order you ended up with. But, by reshuffling, the season starts off a little peril-heavy. Though you could write that off as some new agent/overeager to prove herself kind of thing.

If I only had a brain...
I think my aversion to female victimization is part of the reason I fell in love with BtVS
This is absolutely why I fell for Farscape. How nice it was to see a woman who was unselfconsciously strong, to whom it never even occurred that she ought to be otherwise.
