Aye. The fact he didn't post about the last Serenity sequel rumour was made of awesome.

So I get Miracle Man and a Joss/Tim/Eliza project. This isn't b.org; it's heaven.

This.

Oh my. I just saw the news and went down my mental checklist of why it has to be too good to be true. Today's not April Fool's Day. Check. Confirmed by Tim. Check. So this is really and truly real?

Squeeee!

I thought Buffy was supposed to be kind of unlikeable at the end. She felt she wasn't welcome in her own house.

jengod speaks for me on everything but the following:

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.

I ended up feeling protective of Sarah Michelle Gellar whether or not she deserves it, because I love Buffy Summers.

Give people what they need instead of what they want.

Cheeky.

Cindy is, as usual, me with the Buffy love.

Me four. I'm very excited by the idea of a new Joss show, and I am not going to even worry about the implications of the premise until I see it. I thought the premise of Buffy sounded lame until I finally started watching it 6 years after it began, so I'm obviously not a good judge of these things.

There's a tiny bit of information about the characters:

Beyond Dushku's character, the show will also revolve around the people who run the mysterious "dollhouse" and two other "dolls," a man and woman who are friendly with Echo. Then there's the federal agent who has heard an urban myth about the dolls, and is trying to investigate their existence.

Thanks to Jackal who dug it out.

Random, unrelated story:

I've been watching Six Feet Under during my recovery, and there was a recurring character, Melissa, Brenda's prostitute client/friend. I thought she was very cute and enjoyable as a character, and I was always happy to see her in another episode. After two or three episodes, I noticed the credits, which identified her as Kellie Waymire, who I remembered was in "Safety Canary." And had died. So for the rest of her episodes, I felt a little sadness watching her, seeing what the world had lost.

The end.

I thought Buffy sounded lame before I saw it. I thought Firefly sounded lame before I saw it. I also thought Wonderfalls, and Drive sounded lame before I saw them, and while I didn't think The Inside sounded lame, I did think it sounded very much not for me. And then I saw them. This has caused me to realize that I really don't care much about the premise as long as the writing is really good and the characters have depth, so that we really care about them before they are killed.

My biggest concern is that I don't really like Faith much. On reflection, though, I realize that I do like AtS!Faith, just not BtVS!Faith, so I think it's likely a writing issue instead of an acting one, so I look forward to seeing how the character is written. And I love the name Echo and am intrigued by all the meta already brought out here. Oh, and I thought Ibsen, but only vaguely so.
