So, what you're saying is that by the time Wash died, people who had been Buffy or Angel had been hardened by the deaths of Jenny Calendar, Joyce, Tara, Buffy (several times), Doyle, Fred, Wes, etc so we just weren't bothered by it?
Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
actually I'm just tired and cranky - which is far more sexy.
Yeah! I must be soooooo sexy right now!
As like, a nice sane person. (Well, I think/hope).
You may be a bit optimistic, but I try. Thanks!
Libkitty is me.
Best compliment evah!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
So, what you're saying is that by the time Wash died, people who had been Buffy or Angel had been hardened by the deaths of Jenny Calendar, Joyce, Tara, Buffy (several times), Doyle, Fred, Wes, etc so we just weren't bothered by it?
Nope... I'm saying people who saw the deaths of Jenny, Joyce (etc) probably weren't _as_ surprised that it happened. Of course, it caught a lot of people off guard (I was there at one of the first with fans screenings, before the spoilers were generally known... and wanted to hide afterwards. And I did go and hide in the bogs as the credits rolled).
Anyway, I'm not trying to be pissy about that at all - just one of the things I geninuely saw after people had seen the film was differing reactions. Some were not familiar with Buffy/Angel/etc at all, and some of those people were pissed. Some hadn't seen it, and didn't mind as much. Some had seen Buffy/Angel/etc and were pissed. Some thought it didn't work, some were just destroyed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay Joss!
I also have to add that both those Kelly Link stories are amazing - especially "Magic for Beginners," which is about a group of very devoted fans of a Buffy-esque TV show. You can find links to "Magic for Beginners" online at the above link

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Eleven days since the last Firefly post?
The Buffista's coats are less brown than they ever were before.
Shame. I declare a shame.
