Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
I think the entire point of doing it through UH was to have a named thing behind it, so people did go over the cliff like lemmings. I doubt many of them will die, though.
A certain amount of those people posting on Whedonesque are from the UK, and from their point of view, showrunners don't make millions. Because they don't here. Obviously, though, the context is the Writers Guild of America, so it's kinda a mute point, but I think it's part of the problem.
And the fans are running over the cliff like lemmings.
I'm not sure what cliff you're referring to. (Unless, as Kevin assumes, you mean the pencil campaign people were gung ho about in the first place.)

Next, I think I'll tell Tim how he should go about killing off characters on Miracle Man and Dollhouse.
It's difficult to explain this without being/appearing to be an arrogant cunt in the been there/done that/actually understands how it all works and actually lives here and knows the issues inside and out department.
And so, I do dishes instead.
As I see it, the issues is that Joss and friends could make themselves look like arses over it. Which I figure they have got to have thought about the other day, because they are not unintelligent people.
