Kristen! Thanks.

We skipped over it and saw Thief of Hearts and Declawed. (Aidan was going to air next but then the show went on "hiatus.")

Last night we had "Thief of Hearts" (and its name was even translated correctly! Which was a good thing, considering I hadn't read its script and therefore couldn't actually check which episode it was and get myself spoiled). So I'm assuming they're following the USA order, now that they've realized they should go forwards with the order of the episodes instead of backwards or randomly.

I still didn't get to watch a single episode. They're on after midnight, ending on around 1am, and even if I could stay awake, I can't turn the volume on, so that I wouldn't wake my roommates. And on most of the other hours of the day, the tv is on the news, so I can't stop people from watching that for a bit of escapism. But I'm taping very faithfully.

[Edit: oh, and on an Israeli tv site I just saw a little discussion about the references to past shows on "The Inside", like the Wolfram company, the "Once More With Feeling" sign, and they specifically mentioned that it's there because Tim worked not only on "Firefly" and "Angel", but, yes, on "Buffy", as well. That mistake is now officially international, crossing oceans and languages. They spelled his name in Hebrew, so I couldn't tell if they were misspelling it in spirit, to go along with it, as well.]

now that they've realized they should go forwards

What? They were reading right-to-left! It was an honest mistake!

Tim should just make up an episode he did for Buffy. Just retcon it into existence.

There was the spec script. I say gather nieces and nephews (are there any?) of gradeschool age and videotape a backyard theater performance.

Tim didn't have a Buffy spec. He had an X-Files one. IIRC, it's the only spec he wrote.

ETA: He did have a Buffy pitch, I think, involving Xander.

Ah, that's the thing I'm thinking of then. Was it just a brief outline?

I think he talked about it at the Expo thing. But it's entirely possible I'm confused. I can't remember all the details.

There's a bit about Tim's pitch here.

Best Justification For Leatherface
If the show had survived long enough to feature a serial killer who sought out self-righteous busybodies, Paul Ryan of The Inside would have been hanging on a meat-hook. -- Strega

I was tempted to do something about "The Perfect Couple," but since it didn't air, hating Paul won out.
