Hm. Empty Places shooting script is up. Must go read.

There's a poll up at www.tvguide.com about how we think the series should end. It's turned into a shipper war. I know these things are stupid, but I can't help but vote in them.


Edited to Add: I read the shooting script, and interestingly enough Giles was even stranger than what actually aired, and Dawn was less-- actually giving Buffy the option to stay and take orders from Faith, not just kicking her out of the house outright.

I just finished reading the shooting script. So many changes. I am angry at that ep all over again.

I dunno... I didn't like the comments Giles was saying in the script at all, or the thing with Bufy destroying the vase. I think it's better they cut those out.

Thanks for the heads up on the Biography! Now I must set the TiVo to record it.

Okay, I didn't think I could find the out of characterness more disturbing, but I do now. Giles is blaming her for Jenny, after all these years, when they already hashed that out repeatedly in second season? And dealt with it? And he's forgetting about all the lives she's saved repeatedly for a grudge match? WTF?? Man, this makes me nervous for the remaining episodes.

On the other hand, Joss presumably does the final editing, and he's the one writing the finale. So what he chose to take out is perhaps even more significant than what the original writer put in there...

I'm just gonna hold onto that because otherwise, I don't know what to think about Giles. That's the first positive thing I've heard about him all season- hope that it's signifigant for what will come next for his character.

It's definitely important to realize that the shooting scripts are not canon, not at all. They're about as relevant as fanfiction in the end. Mostly, that's what I treat them like. Amusing to read and intriguing to think about, but ultimately not of importance.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! I'm excited too. Did you follow the link to read the short list of questions for true Buffy fanatics? One of them definitely amused me.

I'm gonna repeat what I just said to dragolyn: In the end, the shooting scripts are about as useful and relevenat as fanfic. I didn't like that Giles either, and they probably cut those parts because they realized his arguments didn't make sense or didn't fit.

[jidabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, had a look at those questions, but wasn't sure what they meant by the Angel one. It could be interpreted two ways, really.

I thought it was pretty clearly against B/A-- whether for B/R or B/S, I don't know.
