The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death

[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Speaking of Ponyboy... except not really... I'm intrigued by Alien Nation because I think Tim likes outsiders the way Whedon likes outcasts. So that seems like a good fit.

And talking about 70s cop shows makes me wonder why G vs E still isn't out on DVD. Harrumph.

I caught an episode of that show once and was entertained. It seemed fun.

oh, how I loved that show. it has one of my top TV moments ever, when McNeil (played by Richard Brooks) has been trapped in a room with a heated floor. He's running/dancing up and down singing "ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride, nobody gonna slow me down, oh no! I got to keep on mo-vin'"

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

According to Fox Tim has moved up to an Executive Producer on Dollhouse.

You know that's good. I've come to the conclusion that Tim is a much better feminist than a certain other talented writer/producer/showrunner. Because Tim did not take a friggin women's studies class decades ago, and decide he did not need to learn anything more about feminism since.

Is Tim a feminist? I've no idea. His episodes of Dollhouse season one skirted around (i.e. completely avoided) that aspect of the show. Which worked quite well, really.

The two showrunners for season one have left Dollhouse. I'm hopefully it will be better.

I don't know what he would call himself, but I'm pretty sure he accepts that women are human beings, that women are often not treated as human beings and that this is a serious problem. And I think I trust him more with women characters than a lot of writers who make louder claims on the subject.

I dunno, I'm going to go with Joss on that one. I might not agree with him on everything, but he's actively donated towards and considers his output from a feminist POV.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Being closer to the earth, my opinion on the subject is a bit different.
