timepiececlockIn a new interview Marty Noxon said this, which amused me:
"...and Joss, by the way, is a rabid atheist..."
:g: Heh. I knew there was a reason I liked him. No, just kidding. Actually, it's a decent interview, with talk about destiny, redemption, the idea of having a calling in one's life, and various themes that us regular Buffy fans have already disected a million times over on messageboards everywhere.
I liked this part, in discussing Spike's character purpose on the show and the Buffy/Spike storyline:
"Then we discovered that there was a real heart to that story-line, and they had a real chemistry together. So a lot of times people who see this as a grand design, an opera about good and evil. It's just really a slowly evolving thing, and sometimes form follows function."
That's sort of how I've seen it, as we've all been told a million times that Spike was supposed to die. Knowing that kind of punches a whole in the idea that this is what they wanted from the moment he stepped onto Season 2's set, if anyone actually had thought that was the case. I like it better this way though, because it's allowed the writers to create in Spike a romantic interest who is very suited to Buffy and the kind of life she lives, even if it's taken a long while for him to reach that position.
This article reveals nothing new, and doesn't even really discuss what's going on in the show this season at all-- it seems to be mostly talking about season 6 and before. I like the interviewer though, and her lead-in description of Buffy's character and the show.
