Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
Draco as Xander AND Spike AND Buffy? None of them works.
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."
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.
He gives good interview. And, Go, Joss!(probably easier to decide when you're descended from TV "royalty" and not Jo Schmuck like me, but still cool.)
They read boards for general feel, like "Dawn is bugging people" but not for specific plot choices as the lead time is too long to allow for it--plus, playing "what if" in story meetingsis one of the most fun parts of the job and everyone wants their own ideas in there.
Plus, may I say the commentary for the Veruca episode, which I watched last night, is fabulous and much much fun.
Fandom tends to have such a diverse set of opinions on any given character or plot point, I'm amazed that the writers can sift through and get a sense of what general audience response is. I mean, there were people out there who thought Ben was a great character.
Plus, giving fans what they (say they) want = bad idea, in general.
Plus, may I say the commentary for the Veruca episode, whioch I watched last night, is fabulous and much much fun.
Totally. My favorite line.
Oz and Veruca wake up in the forest and she's running her finger up and down his arm
Seth: Stop touching me. laughter No. Really. Joss stop touching me.
So where do you think the obvious examples were of the writers responding to the boards?
Dr. Angleman and the Polgara demon. Both Bronzers.
Responding? Or acknowledging?
