Angus, true, and she didn't used to leave me blinking nearly so much. As I say, it's much more in the past two years or so.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Deb, it's the whole power centre theory re: JM.
I blame the stinking thing for damned near everything I can't manage to pin on Julianne Moore.

Yeah, there was a time when I looked forward to a new Millman column on Buffyverse stuff. And even now, I have to give her credit for being one of the only 'name' critics out there who regularly brings up Jossy stuff.
I'm thinking I'll skip this latest bit, though.

Yes, I agree that her opinions about Buffy meshed less and less with mine over time. Still, I'll always be grateful to her for turning me on to Buffy in the first place, and also for seeing through some critically lauded shows that I hated.
(By "seeing through," I obviously mean nothing more than that she shared my dislike of them, and I can't actually remember what shows they were. I think the name of Sorkin might have been involved with one or two of them.)

Still, without Joyce, we might not be here today, historical-critical-mass-wise. Because lots of us found Buffistas at TT through following the links from her Salon columns.
I am one.
I've been on a Buffyfest this weekend. I've watched 7 episodes since Thursday ("Sleeper" through "First Date"), and am gearing myself up for two more this afternoon. I've got a streaming cold, so lying on the sofa being distracted is just what the doctor ordered.
I'm enjoying Buffy much more again at the moment. In fact I think, for me, it may be the best season since 3.
Oh, and [whitefont] Andrew really used to get up my nose, but I've actually come to like him a lot these past few eps. So does the Jossverse mess with your opinion of the characters you love to hate.

If I only had a brain...
Elvis Mitchell namechecks Buffy constantly, and he gets the show.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm with Angus and Fiona. Her columns inspired me to watch Buffy initially.

Who was the guy in the US mag "TV Guide", who does the weekly column? He was a stone mad Buffy-fan.
Nic and I have watched Buffy since the first ep, so I found Millman and the press take on the show well after the fact; we'd loved the movie and as soon as we saw it was Joss Whedon, we hunkered down from the premiere on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Matt Roush, I think.

Yes! The Roush Report. He relentlessly plugged Buffy. Warmed my heart.
