Aw, the Willow kissage speech.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

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.

Willow had such an interesting emotional arc in this one. Possibly even more teenage girl typical than Buffy's.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Joss snaps at the latest attempt at Marti-bashing and delivers a smackdown at Whedonesque: [link]
Wow. No matter how one feels about S6-7 (and the amount of vitriol from fandom toward Noxon in particular has always bothered me), what the original poster said was incredibly tacky, so, way to go, Joss.

What is even happening?
Yeah. Each time I think I'm over Joss, he makes me fall in love with him, all over again.

I think the fan vitriol directed at Noxon should be aimed at Whedon instead. So, kinda mixed feelings.

Point Pleasant did not fill me with admiration of Marti Noxon's showrunning capabilities and I'm pretty sure Joss wasn't responsible for that.
I can't speak to exactly what Marti was responsible for in later seasons of Buffy but my impression has always been that she's much better as a writer on an individual episode basis than trying to hold everything together for season arcs. Which isn't really a horrible indictment—before Wonderfalls I was far more impressed with Tim's writing than his stint as showrunner, and I now anticipate each new project from him as much as from Joss.

I liked most of S6 (S7, less so, but I loved "Chosen") but yeah, if one is to be bitter toward TPTB, surely a large part of the blame must fall on Joss's shoulder. Which is sort of what he said in his post.
I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy after S2, but the show feels like good fit for MN's talents.

Matt, what years was Tim a showrunner on Angel and what didn't you like about them?
