Okay, I read Astounishing #18 and I think I need to go back and do a re-read.

Also, have you noticed the odd choices that have been made as to which Angel scripts they're doing scriptbooks of?

#1 City Of -- made sense to me -- being the first episode.
#2 A Hole in the World - odd to skip, you know, the entire series to do the second book but still -- a good episode.
#3 Spin the Bottle - ?
#4 - Waiting in the Wings ????
#5 Five by Five & #6 Sanctuary -- good episodes -- but odd choices what with the Buffy crossover stuff.
#7 Smile Time

I don't know how many they are planning on doing -- but am I wrong in thinking that these are eccentric choices?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

#s 5 through 7 make sense to me, as the first two are a seminal two-parter with major repercussions for the Faith and Wesley characters, and #7 is a hugely popular comedic stand-alone. But I'd have thought "In the Dark," "Rm w/a Vu," "Somnambulist," "Eternity," "Blind Date," and any number of Season 2 episodes would be better choices than #s2 through 4.

"Five by Five" is the only one Whedon didn't write, or co-write. I suspect that's why.

I thought SMILE TIME was Ben Edlund, or was he co-writer?

"Smile Time" was Joss & Ben Edlund.

We got the hardcover New Frontier book. Even though we have the individual issues and TPB, the book was so pretty we had to have it. Darwyn rocks!

Huh, I know this doesn't get a ton of traffic, but there's just over a hundred posts left before the thread's dead.

At the rate that this thread moves, it won't be done until 2007.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dave Cockrum has died.

And the story's sadder than all that--I'm still reading on it.

Neil Gaiman on Dave Cockrum.
