Jul. 30th, 2007 06:46 pmSo, sounds like everyone had a great time at ComicCon, what with the Heroes cast being adorable, season 2 footage being shown, Joss Whedon announcing Ripper and some Iron Man footage making it on screen as well. I'm not jealous, no, not me. Excuse me while I get the green colour out of my face.
There's a great new interview with Tim Minear about Angel (the series), and the king of flashbacks utters some very quotable lines:
About Angel and Darla:
"I always saw them as a combo of George and Martha from “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?” and Bonnie and Clyde. Buffy and Angel were so epic because it was so pure but so doomed. Angel and Darla were, for me, epic because it was so corrupt and so doomed."
I used that Albee comparison first, about their final scene in Dear Boy, she says smugly.
About Kate:
"Also she was Mulder and Scully rolled into one, and I never felt like I got enough of a chance to work out my X-Files fetish while I was on that show."
*g*
You know, there's an iron rule true in every fandom about interviews or chats or postings from scriptwriters/producers/novelists. If they say stuff the majority of fans agrees with, it results in much adoration and praise for them being there for the fans via said interviews. If, however, they say something the fans disagree with, it's "shut up", "you don't get a say anymore, canon is finished" and "stop dictating views!" all the way. Incidentally, I'm not immune to that reflex; I remember being quite annoyed about several Ira Behr quotes (and I really like Behr's episodes on DS9, and much of what he did with the show), and I certainly disagreed with Wayne Pygram re: Scorpius and Sikozu. However, it's still a double standard we're all having, and I'm aware of it. Following the publication of Deathly Hallows, JKR did and does the usual thing following a big release, i.e. interviews, and naturally, there was upsetness. Now, what do you want to bet that a lot of those fans who got upset with her pointing out in one interview that ( slightly spoilery for DH ), will be delighted and will so adopt as canon what she says about Lily in her most recent chat: ( Even more spoilerly for DH: )
