Speaking of death, Murder is the new black this development season.
Oh! I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah blahbity blah, I'm so stuffy, gimme a scone.'

[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I just discovered that Dan "Carnivale" Knauf wrote at least one episode of Standoff.
Heh.

Maybe Tim can be his new Ron Moore, with the sense-bringing.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Speaking of Ron Moore, I made the mistake of looking at the Sci Fi channel forum for TOS of Galactica and you'd think Moore was the devil with the way those people talk about him.

I'm guessing a lot of us wouldn't be too thrilled if new not-Joss producers did a revamp (so to speak) of Buffy or Firefly 30 years down the line that made use of a completely different tone from the original's. Hell, there's already a lot of Marti Noxon is the Devil talk on the internet from Seasons 6 and 7.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would be irritated if it sucked, but the premise of a revamp doesn't bother me any. This isn't George Lucas. I have my DVDs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's like being mad at Coppola if you're a fan of the Godfather novel. You picked the wrong side, you know?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Are there BtVS movie fans who hate Joss for what he did with the show? That'd be the most apt comparison in my eyes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Fran Kuzui, I suspect. And maybe Paul Ruebens.
