So what side will DeKnight be on when Boreanaz, Kane and Marsters kick the cast of Smallville's ass??

Rogue Slayer | May 20, 03:42 CET

Smallville huh? Well, sadly I guess not everyone can move over to Alias. Won't be enough to get me to watch the Superboy dreck, but hopefully he can hang out with Drew Greenberg and reminisce or something.

MindPieces | May 20, 03:55 CET

Yeah, good for DeKnight, although I'm not going to watch just cuz of him.

Invisible Green | May 20, 04:03 CET

Okay, I think it's time that I devote myself to Alias & Tru Calling because I can tell that I'm going to be SO lost this time, next year.

Christopher | May 20, 04:28 CET

I think I'll devote myself to good television, if it ever comes around again.

ZachsMind | May 20, 04:58 CET

I think deKnight will trip the cast of Smallville, during the fight accidentally on purpose. :)

A few more items from Flashback Weekend ....

* David on Sunday talked about moving from Buffy where he just stood around looking mysterious, helping save the day, kissing the girl and such, with only a few pages of actual dialouge. Then going on to Angel where he is not only in 95% of the scenes but he's speaking. (At this point to illistrate he pretended to open a Buffy script in front of him and flip a few pages and then he pretended to open and Angel script and just kept flipping the pages). It was quite funny.

* Elizabeth said they cut her arc short in season 6 of Buffy cause UPN didn't like the whole drug/magic addiction line they thought it was going to dark. For her part Elizabeth thought if she had stayed she would have liked to have had a Tara-Willow-Amy triangle thing. Also Elizabeth cannot eat cheese she lactose intollerant (well I guess no milk ads for her), although she did become buddies with her counterpart Mike (the rat).

* When both Elizabeth and Stephaine were ask if they could change places for a day and become another character who would they like to be - both of them said they would have loved to have been DRUCILLA.

* Elizabeth said the most fun she had was the fight between Amy and Buffy, cause SMG and her worked on it all day (she threw a punch while talking about it - but then said to paraphrase, "Well not a punch like that cause that was lame.")

* CK said toward the end of season 2 he was tired of the fake hand so much he begged Minear to kill him. (Funny side - David has the fake hand).

* Stephaine also mentioned that the scene were CK grabbed her backside, had to be shot numerous times cause for some reason CK kept messing up. :) She also noted that although she was not really disturbed by it - the rest of the cast and crew acted differently when she was in the beaten woman makeup from 'Billy'. The most disturb she had been was during the scene were Lilah's about to get her head chopped off by Wes, she thought it was strange cause that was a cast of her her on the table when he did it - so she really did see her get her head chopped off.

* None of the actors go online that much, however the writers as we know do. Well Elizabeth told the story of how she was called into Joss's office once during Season 3 and how when she walked in Joss looked up from his computer and told her the fans hated her hair and then proceeded to show her all the post concerning her hair. She could not believe people would even notice (since she was not a regular) let alone care enough to talk with others about it. :)

thanks RavenU for the updates

rsfayez | May 20, 06:55 CET

Huh, what was wrong with her hair??? <* runs for the DVDs *>

gingeriffic | May 20, 07:00 CET

So, We already got Drew Z. Greenberg on Smallville, and supposing the previous didn't quit, now he'll be joined by Steven DeKnight.

Why is this starting to look like Season 6 of Buffy?

Goddard and Bell on Alias, I've gotta see that. I've got a friend who's a big fan of Alias, but never cared for Buffyverse series (she did dig a bit of Firefly, though), even despised the fantasy aspects of them, actually mostly because of it.

I always had hard time convicing her about the beauty of the metaphor, and sort of things related about how real they are even though a lot of things are very surreal or unreal. She's kinda of skeptic about them joining the Alias team. Me? I keep wishing that they might infuse some Mutant Enemy-ish stuff into it (hey, they even got into that "hey, Sydney go a younger sister stuff"), and maybe fix several problems that occured in current season.

Another common acquaintance of our even joked, that maybe J. J. Abrams should try a musical episode over there too.

I was never a big fan of Bell's work, but Goddard, I've been a fan since his very first BtVS episode, Selfless, one of the best season 7 episodes, IMHO.

It's difficult to grasp the end. Haven't watched "Not Fade Away" yet, I'm d-ing it right now (hey, I can't be blamed for THE WB demographics, I don't even live in the US. Right here , in the South Hemisphere we're still on "Soul Purpose" which was shown the day before yesterday).

It's going to be strange looking for a new season with nothing from Joss on the air, specially after these almost 10 years. I practically grew to adulthood along with it. At least we know where to find some of the people who made these 8 years so great.

Numfar PTB | May 20, 07:25 CET

Joss was on there for a minute too.

Tycho | May 20, 07:42 CET

There's too many posts to dig through to find Joss's, but here's Rob Kral's:

THE END OF AN ERA!!!

I really felt the need to log on
and drop by, lurk and scroll and
all that good stuff....

Thanks JOSS, DAVID
GREENWALT AND JEFF BELL
and everyone for a wonderful five
years.

And thanks to THE BRONZE /
BRONZE BETA: this was a
fantastic and special place
indeed. Nice to know the hard
work is appreciated: this place
was not only fun but inspiring

Invisible Green | May 20, 09:27 CET

Nevermind, RavenU got it. ;)

I thought what Joss said about Levin was very noble of him.

Simon | May 20, 10:32 CET

Yes quite noble, although in between the lines it's clear he's still majorly pissed. But he's taking it like a pro. I'm not. But then I'm not a TV pro so I don't have to take it like one.

Which is probably why my wife and I flipped off the 'Your friends at the WB' thing tonight. Because we're vengeful and petty.

EdDantes | May 20, 11:13 CET

I gather just about everyone was screaming abuse at what the WB said at the end of the show.

Simon | May 20, 11:46 CET

I certainly screamed abuse that it would be inappropriate to type here. What hypocrites.

Wendy | May 20, 11:58 CET

so what exactly did the wb do at the end of the episode? non us resident here...i wanna join with the hate! (not that i need any more reason to)

There was just this whole self congratulatory 5 years of Angel 'Thank You from your "friends" (quotes mine) at the WB' thing. Add this to the WB FINALE logo and the WB ego stroke going to every commercial ('You're watching the Angel WB Finale on the WB!') and it got kinda sickening.

zeitgeist | May 20, 18:29 CET

As sour a taste as the "thank you" from Angel's "friends" at the WB left in my mouth, it wasn't quite so bad as the very second after Buffy's enigmatic smile after she had empowered all the slayers comes "America's Next Top Model!"
I will probably watch Alias for Bell and Goddard, but Smallville only for the DeKnight-penned episodes.I'm no fan of some of the "acting" on the few episodes I have watched, but if it means he has a job already, good for him. It's kind of like working in the belly of the beast for real.
