It took me a second to realize that the fact that you're talking about a sun that is setting in the morning and the capitalization of the first letter of that process actually explain each other. I'm so from-somewhere-else.

I almost typed "Sunset at Sunrise" but it felt too Fiddler for me.

Sunset at Sunrise

Hmm, I wonder if it would have helped my little brain, or confused it even more.

Is it all empty and peaceful and differrent from how it is during the more regular hours?

There are no cars now. In two hours, it's going to be bumper-to-bumper traffic.

There are no cars now

Wow. From the little I saw, I don't think I can imagine LA without traffic.

I read someone's report of joss' talk at the writing expo thing, and he had some whitefont about Tim as well:

The moderator asked Joss about how long it took him to assemble the great "Buffy" writing staff, to which Joss replied "Seven years," meaning that he was always looking for great writers and that the process never stopped until the show was over. He had high praise for his whole staff, but admitted that his one regret was not hiring Tim Minear earlier...

Tim had come in to pitch for Buffy and had three great pitches, with the story and metaphors all worked out, but Joss felt Tim was filled with rage and couldn't imagine working with him on a daily basis. He later realized that Tim had been working on the X-Files, and after meeting several other angry X-Files writers, realized the rage stemmed from the fact that they worked on the X-Files (the implication being that it was a tough, emotionally frustrating gig), and then hired for Angel and Firefly. Joss praised Tim highly, saying that after hiring him he realized that Tim was not only a great writer, but also a great person, smart, funny, and very nice (but Joss said it better than I'm recalling it).

In Tim's seminar the previous day, Tim revealed one of his three Buffy pitches was an episode involving Xander being cursed and the only way he can lift the curse is by getting laid, so he's running all over town trying to get girls to sleep with him, telling them his life depends on it. I'm not really doing it justice but when Tim talked about it, it was hilarious.

I have to look it up again to find the cite...

I love this:

That would have been my favortist Tim episode of BUFFY evah!

eta It would be like the original AMERICAN PIE, but with vampires!

That would have been an excellent Xander-centric episode.

I loved the bit about all former X-files writers being filled with rage.

Man, Tim's Buffy episode really was the best. Even if it never really happened.

That's talent.
