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

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.
That just made me want to cry, Kevin.
Was Jayne a woman?
Would she/he still have been married to Wash?
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.
oh really?
her friend who is my friend seems to think so! okay.
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.
ah! I see.
Actually, this might be a good time to ask. I cannot remember the old name of TWOP. I remember Dawson's Wrap, and then I remember it changing to TWOP, but I can't remember the interim.
