[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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I spoke to Jackal earlier about this and the phone call had words which, when put together, barely made sense.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have to say I'm dubious about the premise of the show.
While I'm sure it will offer them opportunities to address the objectification of women, it couldn't start from a place that's deeper in the hole on the subject.
So I'm fearing lots of Dark Angel in heat type moments, and Sydney in slutwear type moments.
It's pretty far from the premise: "I want the blond in the alley to kick the vampire's ass."
Whereas now you're starting from: Sentient sex doll reads Germaine Greer.
Anybody else have qualms?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, so far does it say it has to be sexual? Why are you limiting it to Sydney in slutwear? Why not Sydney in any persona?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
In fairness, nearly every single Variety rag premise summary I've read has sounded shit - which includes many shows I've seen which have turned out great. I think it's a little early to be deciding the show is going to suck.

No one said the show is going to suck. We said "qualms".
