So, uh, for those of us who weren't part of the Bronze board, who maps to whom in this parable?
King = Joss, I assume?
Princess = SMG?
And everyone else....?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...
'Shindig'
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.

The Handmaiden = Sophia Crawford, SMG's stunt double, whom Jeff Pruitt was/is married to.

I can't remember anymore. I think Gareth Davies was the Sheriff or the #1 General.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh man, that is cracked out. He posted that to the Bronze, I presume?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I think he posted a bunch of wacked out shit about somebody on the crew trying to have him killed, then that. Or something.
My view on SMG has always been that if I was the lead on a show where I was in every episode and, at points, nearly every scene for 7 years, shooting at 3am, signing autographs on a day by day basis... I'd be allowed to be a little bit cranky occasionally. Hell, I wail like a baby if my washing machine breaks. I've no real idea if she was a massive diva or not, or if she was just feeling the strain. I know there's an interview with Joss Whedon somewhere during the late Buffy days where he sounds like he's having a nervous breakdown. I imagine it was quite the grinding experience for all involved.
She's always been publicly supportive and proud of Buffy The Vampire Slayer from what I've seen. If she wants to move on and make money elsewhere, you know, fair play I say.

Didn't he just post a link to it? I remember him acting all surprised when everyone(not just Joss) followed the link he'd posted to a public board.

Wow, so, I just ventured outside of Buffistas and saw some of the SMG hate from people online. All of which seems to be people who weren't actually at the panel.
It's crazy. It's like everybody online is British. We have this thing here where we like to build people up, and then burn them at the stake when they become successful.

every generation throws a hero up the pop charts.
I love Douglas Adams' Long Dark Teatime for the Soul for skewering this very thing.
Oh yeah, the Yanks are champs at the pedestal knocking off.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
The Pruitt dude is/was insane.
