Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Rob's been on about the FBI thing for a while. I think. I could well be wrong. It's an interview memory thing.

It's not always a bad thing - when you look at Angel season 1 compared to Angel season 5, for example, most of the elements which define s1 to s5 are different (location, tone, characters etc). Of course, I totally understand where you are coming from as it can go horridly wrong. For example, if they move it to the FBI I don't see how the existing characters fit in, but I can imagine the creators and network trying to shoe horn them in... which is challenging.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Even if the FBI idea is Rob's, it wasn't where he originally intended the show to go (I assume).

I've never had a sense that Rob's ever had a far-reaching vision of where the show would go. I don't mean that as a dis. It's just, it's never felt like "Buffy," where Joss was always saying he had the last shot in his head since the first day.

Joss had the last shot, but not really the journey. In my understanding, anyway.

Not the details, no, although he knew a few things were going to happen along the way (ie, either Willow or Xander was going to be gay, whoever dating Willow was fated to die) and he knew where he wanted Buffy to end up.

Whereas with Veronica, you never have a sense that they plan beyond the start of the next season, and I don't think Rob has any idea where he wants to Veronica's story to end. And that's a perfectly valid way to make television.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I'm rewatching Angel, and I just sort of watched Expecting. It's not one of my favorites, but I sort of did a mild squee to see Vinnie on my screen!

Now I'm watching She, mostly for the awesome dancing/party montage.

(I love "She." I really do)
