So over the weekend I caught up with Comic Con vids on YT, and can I just say I
love Joss Whedon?? He spent over an hour answering all his fans questions on panel, and each one was snarky/snappy and self-deprecatingly humorous. The man is a genius...and consider this: every show he has ever produced for TV, barring Angel and Buffy, has been a commercial failure. Cult-gathering, yes, but not TRP raising. And yet his fans are legion, and loyal. Not only that...despite his many failures, networks and producers still want to work with him, still give him a chance because they know that despite it all he can gather the troops - excellent actors line up to work with him, and his fans cheer him on from the sidelines. He's like the Pied Piper...people will follow him anywhere. Am looking forward to The Avengers and Dr Horrible 2. More Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris (or Midas, as I like to call him) is only ever a good thing.
I also watched the Ringer panel at CC and now I am super excited for the show. Before it was a sort of meh...I'll watch it for SMG...kind of thing, but hearing from the amazing actors - Ioan Gruffud!! - I am waiting to see what this show will be like. I hope it lives up.
And Nikita, yay! GG - if you're around and see this, where are you with season 1?? Don't you just love it?? I watched the Hollywood Reporter segment with all the top women in TV - SMG, Maggie Q, Anna Torv et al...and I am so glad that finally we are seeing a lot more kickass females who actually have a role to play rather than being eye candy. Even though I'm not a massive fan of Anna Torv (mostly I think she's wooden, except - weirdly - when she's playing Fauxlivia; but even so, Fringe would not be the same without her).
Eee - can't wait till September when all these shows start back up! Although, wow, can you believe it's August already??!!
