That would have been an excellent Xander-centric episode.
I loved the bit about all former X-files writers being filled with rage.

[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.

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

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
Hey look at that: another log for the flaming fire of bitter I feel towards Chris Carter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe Tim needed the rage, and the rage got us Angel and Firefly and Wonderfalls and The Inside quality scripts.

"Don' be e-scared"
Yes, Joss thought I was rage-filled. Howard Gordon was the guy who kept insisting I take the meeting with Joss. He really felt it would be a match. When both Greenwalt and Joss reported back to Howard that they thought I was "the angriest man they'd ever met" he was astonished and said, "have you met yourselves? Tim's just exactly like you two!" Heh.

So how's the rage doing these days, Tim?

I don't feel as rage-y.

"Don' be e-scared"
I have to admit, I didn't realize I was rage-boy at the time, either.
