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!

"Don' be e-scared"

All very interesting and thoughtful.

Gee, but it's nice to be on someone else's show for a while. All other things aside, I was at a particularly nostalgic stage when this came up. I was missing, well, Angel, actually. And Joss and all them that was. And since it's not my show, I get to do a little flying under the radar. When I'm under the protection of The Godfather, no real harm can come to me. When I told Liz and Sarah I had an idea for a two parter and they mentioned it to Joss before I could pitch it, he said, "do you think Tim would direct both parts?" Would I?

On my own shows, it's always a fight to get the PTBs to let me direct. Joss had me approved before I could even bring it up. Love that guy.

I missed the trailer. And am not squicked by the concept, but I read Vachss for entertainment so my squick-tolerance is pretty high. But what Jessica said about the "Ha ha, look, I acknowledged the issue so you can't fault me for it now!" thing. Either own it, or don't do it.

Also, I recently finished the entire Buffy series. The new full series boxed sets are awesome. I'd not really seen the show, believe it or not. Not with any kind of serious consistency. Now I'm all fan boy.

Someday, he'll call upon you to do a service for him. Hopefully, it's not prettying up a corpse.

Sweet! Not to suck your chocolate salty balls, but I think you're an excellent director. I really loved the direction on "Out of Gas" and "Are You Now..." (you directed those right? I should check IMDB before I post...)

It's a wonder we let you hang out with us.

Admit it, you would've found a way to bring back Vampire Willow.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, it was a pretty good show.

As long as he let's Tim give us more corpses, I don't care if they're pretty or not.

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

I should check IMDB before I post...

Yes you should. For shame.

Hahahaha. This cracks me up completely.
