Quick update

Apparently I was wrong about Down With Love, the film starring Renee Z. and Ewan McGregor - you can enjoy it without knowing the films it parodies, actually you like it better. (Thanks to oyceter for correcting me on that one. Note to self, stop making generalizations - you're always wrong.)

Hmm should have stated this before...if I don't respond to comments to my live journal entries, please don't take it personally, I just can't think of anything to say in response is all. (Not that anyone is taking it personally - just thought I'd throw that out there just in case...you never know.)
Also sorry haven't been commenting on others journal entries much - same thing applies. (Not that you guys were missing my comments or anything or care...but again you never know.) Just don't have much to add right now. Also, in case you haven't already guessed, I'm a tad emotionally volatile - I can't kick or punch anything (without really hurting myself) so I find that I may be given to un-provoked snarky outbursts. Trying to keep myself from doing that, don't want to hurt my friends or any innocent bystanders...that never ends well. ;-)

Oh writer spoilers for up-coming ATS episodes, which won't air until Jan 7, 2004:

5.9: Craft and Fain
5.10 : outside ME writer aka Diego Guitterez was for Normal Again
5.11: Drew Goddard and Stephen Deknight
5.12: David Fury

Spec is that 9 will air in Jan. 10 might or it will wait to air with 11 and 12 in Feb.

Sounds like a good line up...

5.10 could be a bit of a gamble, but then again "Normal Again" was, IMO, one of the most brilliant eps ever produced on "Buffy," so you never know, they also be incredibly lucky with this writer.

Craft and Fain, as well as Goddard and DeKnight, I'm psyched about. And yes even David Fury, who I have been growing more impressed with lately, particularly due to "Peace Out" (still on my Best!Angel!Episode!Ever! short list) and "Just Rewards." While it's hard to tell which parts of LMPTM and Destiny he contributed to himself, I loved both of those episodes as well. Funny, he's growing into kind of a reverse Marti for me. I loved her early episodes but feel like she started to lose something in her later ones; I am impartial to unenthiastic of most of Fury's early efforts but have been enjoying his more recent ones very much.

Well...Fury is actually better when he teams up with someone, solo? Mixed bag.

The Fury episodes you liked? Were all without exception team efforts. The one's you didn't? Solo.

Just Rewards - Fury and Edlund
Peace-Out - Fury, Deknight, and Craft & Fain
Awakenings - Fury and Deknight
Sleeper - Fury and Espenson
Grave - Fury and Whedon
Destiny - Fury and Deknight (great pairing Deknight and Fury btw)
LMPTM - Fury and Goddard

Fury's solo efforts:
Helpless
Gone
Bargaining Part II
Primeval
Fear Itself
Disharmony
The House Always Wins
Crush
Salvage
Showtime

Fury isn't a quick writer, so he tends to get partners to help him out, some uncredited.

Oh episode 11 - Drew Goddard/Deknight? It's well...it could be an amazingly pivotal not to mention highly controversial episode. To say anything more would spoil people.
