Isn't that un-surprising for a showrunner? [edit: the fingers in pie and uncredited eps, not the Husker Du]
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
FWIW, I just got this reply to my email to Dragon*Con:
------ According to the information that I have from Universal Studios, Joss will be at Dragon*Con 2005.
-- Brenda Tackett Office Manager -------
There's a miscommunication somewhere here...

Completely unsurprising. Unless you're Aaron Sorkin.
There's also half a season of Angel that Tim wrote, without credit. Though that was long before he was a showrunner.

Not knowing anything other than what I've read on some boards, I think there was a communications mixup between Universal and Joss.

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
From the interview:
If somebody wrote something, and it was right, I’d never change it, because I am too lazy. There are producers who need to control everything and I needed to control exactly what needed controlling, and if somebody could get it done I would walk away faster than you could see me. Like I was Bugs Bunny. There would just be smoke in the shape of where I was.
Which I think is important to remember. There were writers who didn't get rewritten, who were left alone to do good, solid work. Which is very different from some fan perspectives that JOSS DID IT ALL AND EVEN HELD THE BOOM.

My theory is that Universal says yes to things and doesn't tell Mike. And then it doesn't go on the calendar. And if it isn't on the calendar, then it just doesn't exist.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Aye, I believe Allyson might be onto something there.
Allyson: you are far too polite elsewhere on t'internet. I wonder if somebody has hacked your userid?! Those 'Allyson' posts don't sound like you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
He received an award from the CHUD foundation, so he's an honorary CHUD.
