Don't I get a cookie?

ita, I think I understand what you mean. I guess if what he's saying is that absolutely anyone is good enough at something to be in GF, I completely agree with you. To me the hook was that anyone might have the skill/knowledge they need at a given time. If that distinction makes any sense outside of my muddled head.
Oh, and I keep meaning to pass this on to you. Warren Ellis was rambling about next year's Heroes Con:
I'm thinking about buying table space and setting a velvet rope up around it. I could have it listed in the convention book as my Compound. And it looks like we'll be arranging some kind of adults-only evening talk, where I don't have to keep it clean and can talk about things like Alcohol, Porn, Hate and Shagging. [...] Thank god I have a year to work up the strength for it. Am now taking applications for Female Bodyguard Squad.
I thought of you. I bet he's only half-joking.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
He isn't joking. In the days of the Warren Ellis Forum, he had a half dozen female moderators enforcing his will and wreaking unholy vengenance on trolls. Several of them tend to show up at his US appearances and continue to do so...

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
In fact the run of Thief Of Hearts, De-Clawed, Aidan, Little Girl Lost and Gem feels very Angel season two to me.
that makes me so excited. season two was my favorite.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Did you pitch a comedy?
Maybe a show about nothing?
Or else maybe a show about a group of people who hang out on an internet message board and fight crime in their spare time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Warren Ellis is my new hero.

I wonder if Fox just hasn't bothered to update the website.
I'm glad that Rachel is excited to be on Alias.
I'm excited to get to watch her on Alias.

CaBil, I'm familiar with the WEF, although I don't remember so much unholy vengeance as just, well, moderating. But I may be biased in that area. I think he's kidding about an application process.

What is even happening?
I should pitch that "I Never Wrote for Buffy". I'm sure none of those celebrities will mind if I use their real names, right?

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
But I may be biased in that area.
ahhhh ha ha ha ha!
