That's what I popped in to post, Kristen. I would actually be glad if Tim did the Spike movie too, though.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(I tried to check out the reported “Buffy” episodes, too, but found none listed in Tim’s own filmography. Blame that on bad reporting in the media, I guess.)
Heh.

I'd be gladder if he could do a Faith movie, but agree Tim is the perfect man for the job. Despite all the research though, the writer seemed to miss that he's only been involved with the show on two episodes that featured Spike. I'd have slanted the recommendation more toward talent and general feel for Joss' setting rather than a long history working with the character.

Faith would be good. Illyria and even Willow are intriguing. I wonder if AH would do a show.
I loved Spike, but I just don't want to watch another vampire-that-doesn't-age age at this point. There is plenty of room in their 'verse for new and exciting stories, with great writing and direction. Perhaps Spike could pop in at the beginning, or at some point. Besides, what I'd like to see with Spike is more backstory, and JM is just a tad too old for that.
eta: But Tim yes!!! I'd watch just about anything with Tim, but would love to see him writing back in this 'verse again.

I agree. Either that or the spending time in hell thing.

Yeah, Marsters has said that in terms of future appearences in the Jossverse, he's the star or he does not appear. No, it is not just ego; from what other Buffistas have said, at this point, appearance in the Jossverse as anything less than the central character does zero for him professionally.

Not gonna wade into Natter with this, but putting it here since it has to do with writers stomping on the happy.
Just back from Brokeback Mountain.
Holy Mother of God.
I cried on the whole drive back over the hill. I do not recommend driving Laurel Canyon at 8:00 PM while sobbing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Had you read the story? I mean, how broken will I be? Also, was it good, or just button pushing?
Hey! Can you stay up to watch Grey's Anatomy in real time? That'll be like balm of Gilead.

Jealous of your Brokeback Mountain having.
Better get here by next weekend.
