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.
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)
Angel and Wesley Dance Party = funniest. thing. ever.
Did you guys mean to post the Angel stuff in the Buffy thread?
It's an Angel+Buffy thread. . . you know that they are 4-EVAH, right?
except this is the VM thread... *cough*
But this is the Veronica Mars thread.
It was posted here due to the Vinnie-sighting.
Sorry. I started it because of spying the actor playing Vinnie Van Lowe in the Angel episode Expecting. It started on topic!
