River ,'Objects In Space'
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.
In honor of the first day of classes here I offer a much loved quote --
"One day the campus is completely bare and empty. The next, there are children everywhere. Like locusts. Crawling around, mindlessly bent on feeding and mating. Destroying everything in sight in their relentless, pointless desire to exist."
I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Snyder.
Just in from Popbitch -
Joss Whedon's long awaited UK based Buffy spin-off,Ripper, starring Anthony Head, starts filming next summer for BBC.
Has anyone else heard anything about it?

Joss confirmed at Comicon that BBC was interested, but, IIRC, there wasn't a script.
I also read somewhere (at Whedonverse) that ASH said the only thing holding it up was getting permission from Fox, who holds the rights to the Characters.
This is what Joss said in an EW interview form Comic-con: [link]
It's BBC [right now], in England. It's still being worked out. The character is still part of the Buffy franchise that Fox owns. We want to make sure that everybody gets respected. And everything is contingent on the script. I have an outline, but I don't have a script yet.
Hmm. Intriguing. Oh I do hope they put a bit of money into it at least.

I hope they put a bit of Ethan Rayne in it. Or more than a bit.
I think the BBC could do a great job with very little money. I'm picturing something very gothic and dramatic with monsters rarely glimpsed.
Unlike here where they can spend half a million bucks on a set and have it end up looking half-assed, in England they can pay some penniless member of the nobility chump change and do location shoots in honest-to-God castles and country estates.
I'm excited for Ripper, but trying not to get too excited until they are actually filming it.
Someone over at A List of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago is rewatching and blogging Buffy: [link]
