Book ,'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 couldn't get through the pilot of Gossip Girl and I am predisposed to like dramas that feature high school or college. I watched all the eps of a terrible show on The N website because it featured first year college students.
The thing that really bothered me about the show and made me less likely to stick with it was that it seemed to be one of the least diverse shows I've seen on tv in awhile.
The N has South of Nowhere! Lesbian teens! Love!

There was a token Asian girl and an African-American girl in the pilot who loitered around Blair (? I think that was the name of the queen bee) and they had *no dialog*; it was almost like they were part of the set dressing. I found it pretty appalling, actually.
BTW, Pop Candy interview Jane Espenson over two podcasts if anyone is interested. I didn't hear part 1, but in part 2 (linked below) she discusses the writer's strike and possibly working with Ron Moore and Joss again.
Polter-Cow, well, that answers that one. I buy that argument now.
I was really surprised to read that. I had no idea.
Have they woobiefied the date-rapist Chuck yet? I bet he's the fandom favourite.
based on icons from my flist, yes.
He's the Spike!

He was a snarky and amoral predator in the pilot. The pants definitely fit. Well, as long as they didn't have the girl whom he tried to rape in the pilot fall for him because he has a sekrit pain or something. Um, they haven't, have they?
technically he tried to rape two girls in the pilot. are you referring to the blonde main character? if so, no. from what i gather he's sexing up the on/off again best friend of the main character.
