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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Jesus God, that movie is 20 years old. I feel like a fossil.

Tell me about it. It both feels like I just saw it for the first time a couple of years ago, and that I've known it forever.

“Not dead yet!”

Jesus God, that movie is 20 years old. I feel like a fossil.

I just draw comfort from the fact that Susan Sarandon was my age when she made that movie. She looked fabulous, got to get naked with Kevin when he was still very pretty, and snagged herself the cute, very smart, and twelve years-younger Tim Robbins as a life partner during the filming.

Why I draw comfort from this, I don't know, but it at least keeps me from feeling like a fossil.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

In the original pitch (and I think one of the drafts) for Firefly, Zoe was a man.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That just made me want to cry, Kevin.

Was Jayne a woman?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Would she/he still have been married to Wash?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I don't think Wash was in the original pitch. It was 5 characters, without the Blue Sun stuff. FOX, according to the Visual Companion interviews at least, asked for the broadening of the concept. But we all know FOX are evil and wrong, yes?

Although, to add a bit of balance (I'm using that in the same sentence as FOX...) I personally think Joss Whedon's work is interesting, extremely well put put together and - in many ways - historic. For me. I also think the criticism of Dr Horrible is unjustified. I do worry about Acker's character in Dollhouse, though.

Totally irrelevant correction: Linda's not one of the founders of TWoP.

Wing, Sars, & Glark created the site. I forget exactly, but I know Linda was hired at the same time as Shack. I think that was in the second year.
