All is well that ends in pizza.

Cher really regretted turning down Post-Modern Prometheus.

I thought Cher said they didn't ask...

What is even happening?

What are those shows going to do without Joss' casting directors to poach from?

They'll start poaching the writers. I think Jeff Bell is going to Alias.

Yes, that. Don't worry about the casting though, they'll have 264 episodes of Buffy and Angel to cull for names, plus however many episodes of Firefly. And although it's not a Mutant Enemy series, there is the entire cast of Wonderfalls.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Then, a couple of seasons later, there's the one with the freaky photographer who can't die but who redirects the death that is coming for Scully after she gets shot.

Tithonus.

I like Je Souhaite too.

It's amazing how many times the genie story is retold, even charmed did it.

I don't think there's an original story out there that charmed hasn't ruined forever retold.

To every idea a shelf...

I don't think there's an original story out there that charmed hasn't ruined forever retold.

If they ever crib the 'everybody dies' ending of tragedies like Hamlet I will watch it. I'm picturing a badly dressed corpse tableau right now, and it's pretty fucking great.

How does Joss not win this one?

Well, physically, Carter is a surfer and all.

Plus, even though I was extremely unhappy with the final season of the X-Files, I never started despising the characters and praying for their demise. So that's a point for CC, too.

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

I never started despising the characters and praying for their demise.

Really? I have no English to describe how completely disillusioned I was with the show when it became apparent that CC had no clear causal relationship to the high points of the show.

And THEN he fucked with it. Christ, it's like the Andromeda debacle writ large.

I liked a lot of the episodes that he wrote an awful lot, so that seems to be a causal relationship for my personal tastes at least.

The Andromeda debacle? Given that I never watched it, I probably shouldn't even ask, but... is there a short version?

I want a Celebrity Deathmatch between Joss and CC

How does Joss not win this one?

Ha! I thought this was Joss and Charisma Carpenter. I was going to chime in that I wouldn't bet the mortgage on Joss.
