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?
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
No one said the show is going to suck. We said "qualms".

Very true. Sorry, my brain went to an odd place there.

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

Somewhere I read that most of the scenarios would not be sexual.

The two articles I read mentioned sexual as well as a bunch of other stuff. To give it equivalent weight to the each other scenario discussed, it would definitely not be in the majority.

not your mom's socks.
Anybody else have qualms?
sounds a lot like Molly's backstory in Neuromancer? Not a qualm exactly. I'd like to see that movie be. But if the smart gets overwhelmed, I'll have qualm.

I have qualms, but not about that. There are male and female dolls, so I don't see how the premise inherently objectifies women. It seems like it's more about being an actor than being a woman.

It certainly sounds human conditiony. Joss has posted on Whedonesque clarifying Miracle Man is still up. Which we know.
Two Tim's for the price of one in 2008. And he's free to me. Oh world, I love yee.

Congrats to Joss, Tim, and Eliza! This is unexpected, but awesome.
