True, plus SMG doesn't do the hiring of the stunt double. If the producers didn't want her there, there wasn't much SMG could do but quit. As ugly at that situation got, it seemed like there was a lot of earth salting.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I was not at all involved in fandom and was a casual viewer of Buffy back when it was on the air. I know nothing, and really don't want to know, about the ins and outs of the rumor mill. The stuntman fiasco that I have heard bits about really doesn't interest me.
Just speaking from what I saw last night, everyone seemed very close to Sarah. Sarah spoke at length about season 6 and how it was so hard for her. She wasn't bitchy or petulant. She was just factual about her feelings and she seemed to be on the exact same page as Marti and Joss since they nodded along in agreement with everything she said.
Of course, season 6 is my absolute favorite and I think every part of it is brilliant so it was interesting to hear what was so disturbing for her, but it all seemed so genuine and out of concern for her character.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
This is the first I've heard about the stuntman fiasco

Oh, count your lucky stars. The meltdown happened in realtime on the show's official Bronze message board just before Season 4 finished airing, IIRC. It wasn't pretty.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Quoted from the Futon Critic recap, on the lack of Emmys:
Sarah: "You know, we have the fans, and that's better than any award from some panel that sits in a room...."
Oh yeah. Real bitch there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Before I was a fan of the show, I was a little, piddling extra on one of the episodes. SMG was sick, the shoot was delayed elevnty-billion hours because of a casting call time, it was outdoors, it was FREEZING, and the shoot lasted for freaking ever (until 3 am IIRC), and there was a group of fucktard extras that were just screwing around and being ridiculous. But SMG *still* signed stuff for people on set, between takes. So totally not a bitch.
