Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

'Touched'


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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, isn't the premeire the second pilot?

From Wikipedia:

"In Buffy's case, the pilot was barely 20 minutes long and took place entirely within Sunnydale High. This allowed the writers and producers to show off the style and general mood of the show, and convince the network to pay for a more polished two-hour pilot, which was then aired."

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

From the article:

UPN, the WB's long-time rival and the other half of the new CW, wanted to do the same thing but couldn't find enough memorable shows to fill an evening. (Just kidding -- kind of.)

What, no love for Shasta McNasty?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

UPN can show the Buffy series finale, I guess. That's about the only notable thing that happened over there. And uh...Star Trek?

Art Crawl!!!

VERONICA MARS!!!

And I would love to see Haunted again -- but I guess a show that got cancelled only a few episodes out wouldn't count.

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

Isn't VM going to live on on CW? It looked like they were only airing blast from the past shows.

eta: never mind. Not stated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

AFAIK, they're only airing pilots from shows that won't be airing on CW. (But I can't remember where I read that.)

You'd think Matthew Fox's newfound celebrity would dredge that one back up, at least in syndication.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It looked like they were only airing blast from the past shows.

That's the implication, since they aren't airing Gilmore Girls but may air old promos for it.

Heh. Johanna's bitter that they aren't showing Young Americans.
