Hi my name is Becky, and I'll be your fan today.

Greetings, gentle readers. I went to DragonCon! There were splendid things there, like trout on grits. Black eyed peas. Pecan cookies. Whale sharks. Wil Wheaton (who had the best panel EVAH.) And James was there! Really, something or someone for everyone. Yes ( Read more... )

Thanks so much for sharing. What wonderful pics.

mad_brilliant_ September 15 2011, 10:09:38 UTC

You're welcome! And thanks. :) I left out the part about going to a Season 9 panel with Georges Jeanty. He said that poor Scott Allie is tormented by the Buffers (his word for Spuffies) and the Bangels. He also said that Joss says that Angel is Buffy's soulmate, but is unattainable. And that Spike is the one Buffy would end up with, even though he's not perfect (like Angel is???) He said that Joss wants Spike to be a main character in the Buffy comic now. He asked for a show of hands to see how many Spuffies and Bangels there were. And I'm happy to report that the Spuffies far outnumbered the Bangels. One Bangel was obnoxious though.

OMG I just noticed this. May I quote you on Spike/Spuffy related topics?

mad_brilliant_ September 15 2011, 23:16:29 UTC

Sure, you can quote me. I went and looked at a couple of vids I took. Here's what he said ( ... )

moscow_watcher September 16 2011, 07:20:51 UTC

Thank yopu so much for posting your transcript! You're my hero!

Do you plan to upload your vids on YouTube?

mad_brilliant_ September 16 2011, 07:48:07 UTC

You're welcome! :-D

I hadn't really planned on YouTubing them. They're just cell phone vids and aren't that great to look at. But I wanted to remember what he said about Spike. If you're really interested in seeing them, I could send them to you.

moscow_watcher September 16 2011, 12:49:02 UTC

Thank you for the offer - but there is no need. I was just wondering if there will be public access to these videos.

Thanks again!

ubi4soft September 16 2011, 10:14:00 UTC

Thank you so much for the detailed response.

*If you plan to upload the vids somewhere please tell me where

"One Bangel was obnoxious though."

I wonder If thats one of the usual suspects online? What did they say then?

mad_brilliant_ September 15 2011, 23:20:45 UTC

I have no idea if they were online peeps. But when I listened to the video, I realized there was actually two Bangels who obnoxiously said that Spike had tried to rape Buffy. They did this after a Spuffy fan was saying that Spike was always there for her, and Angel wasn't. To his credit, George's disagreed with the Bangels.

moscow_watcher September 15 2011, 16:22:12 UTC

Thank you so much for this report!

Do you know if there were poeple who were recording his Q&As?

mad_brilliant_ September 15 2011, 23:24:18 UTC

You're welcome! :-D

I didn't see anyone recording the whole panel, but maybe I missed it. I did try to record the parts when he talked about Spike. I've just posted a more detailed report of what was said in a comment to ubi4soft above.

He also said that Joss says that Angel is Buffy's soulmate, but is unattainable. And that Spike is the one Buffy would end up with, even though he's not perfect (like Angel is???)

Ha ha, that's hilarious. Yes, Joss really likes to portray Angel as perfect...not.

I'd take anything Jeanty says with a big grain of salt. Who knows what Joss's actual wording was, not to mention that he often says things with a lot more irony that some people notice. Having seen Chosen and read season 8, especially #36, it's hard to believe that he really thinks that Buffy and Angel are "soulmates" or that Angel is "perfect". This might have been an ironic summary of what they seemed like to Buffy before season 8, which mocked and wrecked Bangel, Angel and the concept of soulmates and ideal romance.

mad_brilliant_ September 15 2011, 23:37:40 UTC

Yeah, I agree. His statements seem to indicate a lack of understanding of what was happening in season 8, and also the TV show, frankly. He seems like a nice guy though. At least he was trying not to dismiss either side. And he defended Spike when the Bangels went on attack about the attempted rape.

boot_the_grime September 15 2011, 17:10:23 UTC

And I really don't think he told him anything like "Buffy will end up with Spike". I doubt that there will be any ending up with anyone in the usual sense of the word.

Frankly, if those were the circumstances (Buffy ends up with Spike because she can't have Angel?!) I really, really don't want Buffy and Spike together.

shapinglight September 15 2011, 18:43:09 UTC

:snort: Buffers?

I've heard Jeanty say very similar things before. He seems like a lovely bloke but I don't take anything he says seriously.

I'm glad the Spuffies outnumbered the Bangels, though. Take that, Dark Horse.
