Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[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!
That's a good question, BTW. Amy @ Popgurls helped me rephrase the other lame one into:
No matter what sort of horrible decisions Britt and Hank make, they're always our heroes, and we're always rooting for them to be okay. How did you be sure to maintain that?
Also, I didn't see you retweet me strega. I think you're embarrassed to be my friend or something. The hover text over the TWOP link on my page reads, "They made Aaron Sorkin cry, once."
Because I'm so proud of you.
I have a "pay it forward"-type idea - you said that dl-ing the pilot on iTunes was a good thing? I would be willing to offer to gift the pilot to, say, the first 3 people who post on my fb wall. The deal being if they like it, they do the same? Could be used with Twitter, too. I'll probably do it whether or not it becomes a thing. They would all count as separate downloads, right?
smonster, that is EXCELLENT. MWAH. Hrm. I'll have to figure out how to phrase it.
Even if they only gifted it to one person, it would be something.
So you turn two three and then what?
That is a really good idea.
I beg you to not use first person plural. Please? It hurts me.
Also, I didn't see you retweet me strega.
Didn't retweet what? Bear in mind that I'm not actually always online. Some days, yes.
how did the writers make them so compelling? I mean, they have fairly ordinary lives (and ordinary is messy), but they're so beautiful to watch.
What struck me was how fully formed the characters were from the start. They felt like real, normal human beings from the first scene. Most shows take 3-5 episodes to figure out who the people are and what the tone is. How did they manage that without workshopping for a couple of months before shooting?
I put up my little Donor's Choose challenge. Which, you know, I dunno.
I may be getting close to my safe word. Or it's the constant car issues.
