Willow ,'Beneath You'
[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.
Yeah, original pilot won't be broadcast. It make a super neat official DVD extra, though. Assuming they ever actually, you know, release the DVD.
The Fillion thing is neat because a) he's not a dick from experience and b) he can actually act. And understand what the script means. And, yes, he looks pretty.
Also, he's familiar with Tim and his murderous ways.
Yeah. I've always wondered if working with an actor you know informs how you write the scripts, or if that's never part of the equation. Example: Mal over Book's dying body in Serenity worked well (acting wise). Nathan really nailed that. When I read it in the script, it didn't work for me. What I'm really saying, of course, is kill them all, Tim. Kill them all! Except Nathan's possible character, as Nathan looks like an elf. Elves don't die.

Unless he's trying to buy a comic book.

If you know your cast's strengths, why not play to them?
Uh, not that I'm speaking for Tim. It's not an unknown practice, I mean.
Kill them all! Except Nathan's possible character
He is, after all, far too pretty for God to let him die.
Yes, but Tim is better than God in his worlds. He can kill you and bring you back. Well, I suppose Christian God is supposed to be able to do that, thinking about it.
Mal was already killed once by Tim ("War Stories").
I feel all awkward and stuff, but the scripts read differently with Nathan's voice, and the chemistry changes a bit. In my head. Which is why I need meds. I digress, the chemistry between the leading lady and leading boy changes a little in my head, the intensity changes.
In a good way or a bad way, Allyson?
Jackal - You're going to be forever redesigning that header logo on Drive Blog. Also, I need to speak to you when I get back about that Drive thang. I'll have some spare time over Xmas as DG is working most of it.
