So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

Scrambled eggs and blackberries: why do I feel compelled to watch the Buffy marathon on Siffy when I have these episodes on DVD?

Yeah, Joss never gave Allyson and Kristen proper credit for all they did, especially Allyson, and so their contribution kind of got lost to general knowledge. There is every reason to believe he *knew*. So I'd be curious to know what is behind that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Matt,

this happens to me all the time. A tv marathon of any favorite tv show compels me to watch even though I own the eps!

I've got it on right now. Although the next episode coming up is going to be "The Body," so I'm going to have to skip that one.

oh man, I fell asleep just after Kabuki Dracula made Xander his Renfield and woke up as Buffy was pulling Dawn out of art class to tell her. 12 years later and it's still the one TV show that can move me past a little tearing up to ugly crying.

Has anyone else read the Joss article in EW?

I have--a friend lent me the magazine. It was interesting. I liked his description of AoS as The Zeppo of the Avengersverse.

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

I liked the article quite a bit. I was sorry to hear that AoS will at the very least delay any Dr. Horrible sequel.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I decided to skip my backlog of EWs for the moment and read the current one for Joss.

So, the line from the interview that is sticking with me is the bit about having a different reason to tell a story every week, rather than just having a different story every week. I'm not sure I get what he means, and I'm not sure I agree as a consumer, but it's an interesting idea.
