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.

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?
Kevin Sorbo's ego ate Tokyo.
I want a Celebrity Deathmatch between Joss and CC

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

Dude. KS v. CC.
Two twerps enter, no twerps leave.

Me neither.
Definitely in the same corner with Plei and ita vis-a-vis the X-Files, but I've ranted enough about how so much of the show is retroactively tainted forever and...
I'll stop before I go off on a rant.
deep breaths
I checked the list of CC's episodes, and he has sole credits on two of my favourite eps. And on many more I hated. It's Morgan and Wong I like, really. As an influence, they track best to my happiness with the show.

Plus the few that the other Morgan wrote or had a hand in (I think he was just an actor on Small Potatos).
Didn't Tim do Bad Blood (and why do I keep forgetting if he did - I love that ep)? I know he did the Lili Taylor one.
