Glad to hear a few other of the dudes are speaking up now:
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
I wonder why neither Alyson nor Alexis has said anything.
And I know Tudyk and Fillion are, or have been, close personal friends of JW's, so I really don't expect to hear from either of them, one way or the other. Nor Minear, though I'd be interested to hear what he might have to say.
I've heard that Alyson and Alexis are godparents to one of Joss and Kai's children -- more than once over the years. [link] [link] [link]
Ah yes, that would be awkward. Understandable.
Well, we now know why Nicholas Brendon hasn't chimed in.
He's about to undergo surgery to repair his paralyzed anus and penis (which injury happened after a fall on the ice).
He's a little distracted right now and wants to be in full control of his faculties before he addresses anything.
But...
NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE PENIS!
Ha!
NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE PENIS!
Apparently ice is the nemesis. Which makes sense in many ways.
Interesting (video) anecdote from James Marsters: [link]
It is just so distressing to know that something that brought so much joy was such a painful experience for the participants. I don't regret loving the show, in fact I may love the actors that much more knowing that they produced such compelling characters despite the bullying and abuse.
