Dollhouse squee, and meta-ing

[black_eyedgirl]

Firstly, you guys, it freaks me out when I am the first one on my flist to link to stuff:
Dollhouse trailerFrom upfronts, so a little rough-cutty, but still much with the awesomeness. And the Eliza kicking ass, and Tahmoh Penikett being all lawman. My current problem is, none of the media previews I've read actually sound like what Joss says the

Mostly I don't say anything because I don't have the skills to say it properly.
*g* I will admit that is also a factor with me. There are some pretty serious academics in fandom, whereas I am frequently distracted by pretty...

My feelings about Spike are complex, random and mostly the reason I never got in to Buffy fandom, aside from getting in to it too late.
See, I know I love him, but I also know if I'd been around when the discussions were happening, I still wouldn't have got involved. I know the other guys are right a lot of the time, you see! We need a safe space to talk about these things without annoying people :)

I can sometimes see where people call out Sorkin on sexism, in Studio 60 especially, but for West Wing... CJ is so utterly kickass that I don't buy the whole argument. There are other women in Sorkinland who need fanfic to rescue them, but he gave me CJ, so I forgive him lots. (Sam, too, of course, but that's a different thing!) I think mostly what I need to do, to stop feeling guilty, is just that fanfic license to interpret you were talking about, and just write some women. *sighs* I'm such a bad feminist. (I write women original characters, honest!)

Yep, distracted by the pretty - that's my problem ;) (I think that's my problem with Doctor Who actually, I'd honestly try to do some serious analysis and then David/Freema/John/Billy do something particularly hot/adorable/awesome and I get distracted ;)).

*seconds this* I feel like there needs to be somewhere were the non annoying people can have chats about these things without there being any yelling. Because I love Spike, but I don't as well *is weird*

I haven't really seen Studio 60 and so can't comment but I do agree with you really. CJ is so damn awesome and well, I agree with all of this paragraph.
