Somebody did a crossover filk of the entire "Once More, With Feeling" musical into the Harry Potter 'verse. Parts you might skim, but there are definitely some funny bits.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Amusing at points, but someone has too much time on their hands, and yet not enough to be consistent.
Draco as Xander AND Spike AND Buffy? None of them works.

Heh, from the Joss interview (linked in Press) at Filmforce...
After Joss, there was an ME writing panel that took audience questions.
But the panel's descent into the absurd was far from over. "I have a question for Drew Goddard," came a familiar voice to Buffy fans. Meloney swerved around in her seat, a delighted smile on her face. The audience broke into loud applause. It was Danny Strong, the actor who played Jonathan on Buffy, a character killed off in one of Goddard's scripts.
"Go ahead," said Goddard, undisturbed at facing this ghost from his past. "Stand up, young man."
"Very funny, Drew," replied the short Mr. Strong, sounding unamused. "I just wanted to know how it feels to be a murderer?" The audience, on the side of murdered underdogs, applauded again.
Goddard was utterly without remorse. "You know, it's not that bad."
"Is it anti-Semitism?" Strong asked. "I think it's like anything: at first it kind of tries your conscience, and then it starts to feel good."
Whee!

Damn, I double posted. Here's more, then...
Strong also had comfort, of sorts, for the beleaguered Fury, advising him, "It IS hard to do climaxes at the same time."
"Who would know better than you and I?" Fury asked agreeably. And perhaps we should not go there.
And yet still more was to come. An unfamiliar, nerdy voice came from the second line of questioners. "Liz and Sarah, are you single?" And it was Joss, undercover, with his partner in crime Nathan Fillion right behind him.
Craft and Fain, looking young, attractive, and pleased, each said, "Yes." "But they only work as a team," Fury pointed out, redeeming his past errors. "Where do we line up?" inquired Fillion as he and Whedon disappeared once more into the crowd.

I heard this with the voice effects at a wedding (the one where the bach. party had been a trip to comicon), and MAN, funny ass shit right there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also from the IGN comicon recap, Joss:
"When we go to websites we're looking for a general feeling of what's not playing, what are people really passionate about and what are they debating and where are we getting it right and where are we getting it wrong? If you see something four weeks after it comes out on your website, that means we've been working on it about eight weeks before that, at least."
So where do you think the obvious examples were of the writers responding to the boards? I think that they probably became conscious that all of Buffy's speechifying in S7 was falling flat and wound up mocking that. I think they ultimately moved away from the addiction metaphor for Willow in S6, and wound up re-emphasizing her own responsibility. I wonder if board complaints had an effect on moving Dawn away from her whininess.

Some things I liked: replacing the swordstuck demon with Dobby ("He’s not even half the boy he -- Naughty Dobby! To speak ill of the great Harry Potter! [bashes head against wall] -- ow!"), the stage directions in the scene where Hermione sings Tara's love song to Harry, and the interjections from the S&P man during "Let me fly in peace."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that they probably became conscious that all of Buffy's speechifying in S7 was falling flat and wound up mocking that.
So you don't think that was a character note, that instead they'd intended them to be good? That's some appalling writing.

Laura scanned a JM interview with a section about Joss pushing Willow/Tara on the network. I can't paste it cuz it's not text, but it's a third of the way down the right column.
