Awww, Tim took the bullet for Joss on the "Billy" episode getting a sound feminist thumping hereabouts.
Note to Joss: Remember that Women's Studies minor you had in college? Dig out your old textbooks and revisit them before you do the Dollhouse thing. Also, we're still intrigued by the possibility that you are intentionally referencing both Ibsen and Roger Corman with the title "Dollhouse."
Dig out your old textbooks and revisit them before you do the Dollhouse thing.
Or, you know, ask us. Plenty of feminist cred on the b.org. (eta: Err, this b.org. Probably not too much feminism with the other borg, what with the queen and the androgyny and the, you know, oppression.)

That's how I remember it, hence my comment.
Feels sheepish
I did like the episode in general (especially Shining!Wesley and Fred Rube Goldberging her way out of trouble), but I remember there were...issues.
Do you know, I saw that ep once (Billy), didn't like it, and promptly forgot everything about it except Wesley fucking up with Fred. I haven't seen it again so I had to go back and refresh my memory.
I liked it better when I had forgotten about it!

If I remember right, on the DVD commentary that line is immediately followed by Tim & Jeff Bell exclaiming, "Joss wrote that line! So... take it up with him."
They also go into some of Billy's backstory, and the script mechanics. It's a good commentary.

I gotta admit, as much as I dislike the "Joss is god" mindset, I really REALLY love when he says shit like this:
I write for fanboy moments. I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of. I write to do all the things the viewers want too.
And then there was this:
That was some lunch. What did you eat?
The Gouda pizza with shrimp
Mmmmm....gouda pizza....
From Way Back, re: DA's Original Cindy
She has a recurring role on Reaper as Sock's on again/off again girlfriend.
I THOUGHT so. Thx Vortex!

Also, I really liked the episode "Billy." I just did. Mostly because I loved seeing Wes turn into a razor-sharp psycho, and then seeing him totally decompensate at the end. He's just so pretty when he's in pain.

And also because Lilah is so badass. Oh! And because of the shoe-fu smackdown between Lilah and Cordy.
