Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

Apparently, the road to Hell is paved with AU fanfic.

I'm willing to watch a bit more out of loyalty, as my reaction to the show is a tepid "Meh" with occasional seesaws between "that was cool!" and "do they realize how this plays out onscreen?" But if SciFi were airing Doctor Who or even a crappy Stargate series in the timeslot instead of that failed vampire soap opera, I'd be gone without looking back.

I want to live in whichever AU Fay dwells in...love of shrimp notwithstanding.

Faith, as Fay sees it, is a show I'd buy a tv for.

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

I hate shrimp anyway. I'm happy in Fay-land.

On the other hand, I'm not happy with watching anything just out of loyalty. Interested in hearing about it, reading up on it, giving it a chance, of course -- but if the thing itself is crap, I don't care if it was made by my beloved auntie.

Does Joss have unrequited Eliza love that is neutering his talents and abilities? Some sort of kryptonite situation? I don't know what to even make of it. Probably just that he fell in love with his concept (and/or Eliza) and it sucked, and there's really nowhere to go from there.

I don't want to place all of the blame on Fox, but as I understand it, Joss had this concept, he wanted Eliza to star, and she had a development deal with Fox. So, he either had to work with Fox, wait until her deal had expired, or find another actress. We know that Fox is about the pretty and the sexy and the stupid, often to the detriment of the show.

I feel much better about Joss' concept having read the pilot script, but I'm still not happy with the show. I generally give a show 3 episodes, so hopefully Joss will wow me on Friday.

I'm watching because the discussion about the show is way more interesting than the actual show. That's a slender twig to hold my interest.

Well, I'm enjoying it. I don't think it's Firefly, but I kind of like having it on my DVR on Saturday.

Hasn't it had three eps? Pilot, Girlhunter, and Slapping Beyonce?

I give a mild "Hey."

Hush, you! Sue me, I'm giving it four because it's Joss.
