[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Well if they all signed the same contract and it did include the souls, then all that W&H would have to do was wait till Angel was killed again and they would have owned his soul.
So I doubt the soul thing was in their contracts. Plus they were so sure they doing good there now, that signing away their souls would kinda defeat that purpose.
Well, I wanted to get into "The 4400," but it doesn't feel ambitious enough for me.
ETA: Does that sound arrogant? Eh, prolly does.
Does anyone else here watch "The Dead Zone," though?
I watch Dead Zone. though i'm about 3 eps behind at the moment. they're sitting on my TiFaux waiting for me to watch them.
i'm actually more impressed with The 4400 this year than i am with Dead Zone. the writers don't seem to know where to go with the latter anymore.
Yeah, I heard that Dead Zone has taken a real dive lately. Which is a shame, because Michael Piller is very friendly to fandom.
I thought that Piller was no longer doing the day to day showrunning. I could've sworn I read that somewhere.
But yes, he's incredibly fan friendly. I think the Dead Zone website is one of the best official sites out there. They have everything you could ever want. You can download shooting scripts! And the show bible!
ETA: I'd look it up on the message boards but the pre-new site threads are all gone.
I watched Dead Zone season one. Lost interest somewhere in the second season, though. It seemed to meander.
I agree with those who find The 4400 less than gripping. I watched one episode - sadly, not Summer Glau's - and felt like I was watching a torrid soap opera with some sci-fi trappings. There was something about a precious little girl getting adopted and some evil corporation, and my attention wandered away to the fridge.
Dead Zone is okay -- but ambitious it certainly isn't. Less than The 4400, for sure.
Wasn't there a coming apocalypse in Dead Zone? Did they ever do anything with that, or is it still coming?
It's still lurking.
they kind of dropped the apocalypse for a while and are now working their way back to it.
