The interview was only a few weeks ago, I think.
That's one fast-burning kerfuffle.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

[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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fury is now at 24.
Where everyone admits there's no plan! Whee!

Or where if there's a plan, it's only good for 6-10 episodes, so they either need to pad like crazy or addend on the fly.
Amnesia and cougar, I'm looking at you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's one fast-burning kerfuffle.
Kerfuffle life cycles keep getting shorter.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Probably because I stopped paying any attention after they reneged on their promise with the S1 finale. I went from loyal fan to meh, in the space of an hour.
This was DH. He announced immediately after the S1 finale, "We're not watching this show anymore." It didn't last. When we watch it now he always says, "they're making this up as they go along, aren't they?"

Thanks, Kristen!
Somebody was actually surprised that there was no plan?
I wasn't so much surprised as annoyed, although I think I like Fury better now. They said that there was a plan. Insisted on it. Said over and over that there would be resolution in the first season (not of everything, but at least some). To my knowledge, they never claimed a plan for Alias, although I never followed it, so I could be completely wrong there.
Looking for the kerfuffle, I found an article where Lindelof blithely says that the fans may be pissed, but they're not going to tell them anything because that's how to do a cliffhanger. It is actually possible, and I've seen it done, to resolve the initial issue (or at least one of them) while bringing up five more, often bigger, ones. In last season alone, see Veronica Mars, Desperate Housewives.
Um, this is kind of off topic, isn't it. How about that wonderful work Tim did on Buffy!

What is even happening?
We missed a huge chunk of season 1, so we're sort of enjoying the going-nowhere-ness of it, because we were prepared for it.

Tim's work on Buffy is SOOOO overrated.

If only he'd had a plan.
