[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!

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

That's what I said!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Joss has oft said in interviews the thing which creeps him out most in TV is the 'reset' factor. You know, at the end of Star Trek you know nobody will remember anything the next episode, likely.

Dollhouse is about the reset factor.

One fear I have - the fact sex is involved in the show. I think the whole point is to show 'This. Is. Wrong.', to some extent, but idea of spending many episodes watching women being treated as holes and men as cocks is personally troublesome.

Also, sometimes icky is what draws people to a show. I mean, why else are shows about serial killers and gruesome surgery so popular.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The concept of Buffy was silly and intriguing.

See, I thought the concept of Buffy sounded wierd and objectifying--I thought it was going to be like those Halloween films "See nubile girl destroy monster, but not until after she screams a lot and looks sexy doing it" but, of course, it wasn't that at ALL. Me not so good at extrapolating from concepts.

that's my point. I mean, Joss totally turned us on the ass in the first scene with Darla and the boy, we're thinking that she's going to get killed, and then BAM! she vamps out and kills the boy.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The execution will be all (and I include casting as part of the execution), or near to it. I have concerns about they ick-factor, but they come more from Tim's "primoridal misogyny" episode of Angel than anything in Seeing Red.

Then again, I've never had a problem with Joss' sci-fi. I AM curious how sci-fi it will be. It could be a very hi-tech show, or it could be a modern day Prisoner-style show. I suspect it will be closer to that than to Firefly.

bahahahahhah... I dunno why, I see massive and LJ and my mind went straight to DISagreement rather than what you wrote. Sorry for the misreading.

I like Joss and sci-fi. He clearly knows nothing about science, and I'm all about the fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I dunno why, I see massive and LJ and my mind went straight to DISagreement

HA. I can't imagine why that would be...

"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

I think the saving grace for me may be if the sci-fi is limted to near future Mission Impossible espionage type stuff rather than interplanetary spaceships/lifelike robots/mid-orgasm time-stopping machines. If it only involves gadgetry and concepts that I would buy in the hands of Sydney Bristow or Ilya Kuryakin, I can suspend my disbelief.
