I am reminded of the episode where it suddenly occurs to Buffy that the Watcher's Council needs her a lot more than she needs them, and can in fact call the shots and use them as advisors as needed. I loved that awakening. One of my favorite eps. If this is that, it's an interesting premise, and I'd like to see how he sustains it.

I loved that too. If I had to pick one single favorite scene from the whole series, that would be it.

Wait, wasn't Ibsen's A Doll's House featured in an episode of Angel, with Cordelia playing Nora=Echo? Hm.

I believe so.

I'm somewhere on the Plei-Allyson-Kristen scale in terms of my reaction to the premise. I like the people involved enough to want to see what they make of it.

My mind keeps going back to the dollhouse setting and wondering how they can pull it off, what tone they'll use for it, because I think that will be key to how much I enjoy the show.

S1. "Eternity."

what I was trying to say earlier. tripped all over my big floppy clown shoes.

Without going full pollyanna, I'm excited about another show. The fact that it has caught our attention this much already should say something. The fact that there are some obvious stereotypes and mistreatments that could be written beyond or through should say something. The fact that I am more worried about what happens if concept control passes from Joss & Tim to, say, the studio, should say something.

I am Sox! I am also reminded that I didn't watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer for years because of the title and premise. Tricky ticksters hiding such a treasure under that cover. You know I'll watch, and post. May it be good enough to keep us interested, but not so good that FOX will cancel it after 3 episodes, shown out of order.

What would you say his strength is?

Give people what they need instead of what they want. (Sorry some one had to say it ;). That and mantaining the right kind of distance from his fans.

Josstrengths: Character relationships! Buffy and Giles. River the albatross and Mal. River and Simon. Jayne and River. Drusilla and Spike. I think I like all the ones that totally bug other people.

Is it wrong that I ended up not loving Buffy Summers because I decided I didn't love Sarah Michelle Gellar? I don't know nothing about nothing, but if feels like it might have gotten a little toxic there at the end and it always distresses me.

Hi Tim. Is this your thread? You make good TV. We like our relationship with you.

I hope you enjoy your consulting producer gig. Make Joss be a consultant on Miracle Man too. I think that means you can expense your lunches together. :)
