Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers  

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

In the preview it said "in two weeks". Aargh.

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

Friday is the Haiti telethon.

::sigh::

So tonight, it ends.

I hope Joss is going to continue rollicking all the way to the bitter end, and that we get a good goodbye.

I've had my issues and cold spots with the show, but I am going to miss it. Despite the problems, I really liked seeing most of the actors handle most of the material.

Ah, Enver, Olivia, Harry, Fran, Reed, Amy, even sometimes Tahmoh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm going to miss it too.

Also, I think whatever grievances people have with Joss anybody would have to admit he's got a real eye for talent and has found a lot of spectacular actors and writers over the years.

I also appreciate how well he tweaks character. How he kept finding new ways to show off Enver, how he tailored the story back to Eliza's strengths and away from her weaknesses. Alpha and Bennett and Topher were all characters that started a little stiff or off and got more intriguing as he revisited those characters and shaped their stories.

Olivia Williams was flat out perfect from the beginning but he managed to exploit her considerable range beautifully. Who else was giving her this kind of role?

He did a fantastic job with Amy Acker, basically going Scruffy!Wesley with her and she more than met the challenge. I loved every scene with Dr. Saunders after she found out she was a doll.

I also appreciate a couple little things he's done with casting over the years as he's been responsive to criticism. After BtVS he's always worked harder to cast black actors. And he's also consciously worked to create roles for women who weren't all size 2.

Fuck, I hope he gets a show on FX. I hope he gets a 13 episode season and no interference.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

even sometimes Tahmoh

But Tahmoh was always pretty, so at least we have that.

I'll be missing it too. The end of last season got me into the show at last, and this season has had me hooked from beginning to end pretty much.

Fuck, I hope he gets a show on FX. I hope he gets a 13 episode season and no interference.

For all that I had to stop watching Dollhouse, I agree with this. I would really like to see what he does with a known span of time up front, and a free hand.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

So, did I miss something? Is this a follow up to the not-seen-by-me-yet Epitaph I? Cause I don't know what the heck is going on!

Who's Harding? I am unclear. Was he last seen in Amy Acker?
