They should have just gone with Adam Baldwin from the start.
This is true for so many things.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Well, that whole episode with Angel having sex with Senior Partners' rep would have gone very differently, I think.
This was the first thought that came to my mind.

Not that it wouldn't have been an improvement.

Well, anything would have been, but that would have been REALLY interesting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would love a doggie-centric edit of Up. I just couldn't handle the sad bits last week.

Behold, an excerpt from Whedonistas: A Celebration of the Worlds of Joss Whedon by the Women Who Love Them: "The Girls Next Door: Learning to Live with the Living Dead and Never Even Break a Nail," by Seanan McGuire. Nice essay from one of those rare fans whose first introduction to Buffy was the movie. (I saw it a drive-in.)
The book also features essays from Jane Espenson, Emma Bull, Elizabeth Bear, and Cat Valente.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
From the essay P-C linked:
The show lost focus over its last two seasons, and while all the hardcore fans I’d come to know and love kept watching, the spark was gone, and the fire was in the process of going out. The mythology warped and twisted back along itself until Buffy Summers, the girl who once railed against the unfairness of being Chosen, looked at a squadron of girls who were just like she’d been and took away their right to Choose. It was an interesting statement about becoming the evil we fight against, and it hurt to see it made.
As much as I grew tired of the entire Potentials storyline (knowing that the series was ending I wanted to spend time with the characters I loved, not with this teeming mass of anonymous girls that I really didn't care about) that wasn't my take on the situation.... I thought the very fact that they were Potential Slayers meant they had no choice as to their destinies (they had targets on their backs and were being forced to fight because of it), but that Buffy offered them the choice as to whether or not they wanted to become full-fledged Slayers right then and there.

I have no real opinion on this book but since I've gotten other books from them several times, I can say that Mad Norwegian Press is good people.
(So there!)

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
I always wonder if these were people I was mean to in the Bronze back when i was all BNF.

But what about everyone else? I never saw it as a bad thing until she framed it that way, but it's true that little baseball girl didn't get to choose to have superpowers, she had them thrust upon her.

I did like Chicks Dig Time Lords.
