March 2003 Archives

Dear Angel Fans,
Because many of you missed portions of Wednesday's "Orpheus" episode of Angel due to breaking news, we are offering you another opportunity to see it this coming Sunday, March 23, at 9/8c. This replaces the previously scheduled airing of the movie "Blade."

Nathan Fillion (news) is joining the cast of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer (news - Y! TV)," taking on a key role in the final five episodes of the about-to-wrap series.
Fillion, who most recently starred in "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon's short-lived Fox television drama "Firefly," will play Caleb, a man of God who's...

Well, all the rest of the story is spoilers. If you want to read the rest, it's over here.

And yet there it is; consciously or not, it is in there, and it underlies every single thing that Reynolds does. Honor is his roadmap in life, his way of finding his way through the wilderness. It says to him at every turn: This thing I can do and live with myself; this thing I can't.

I don't know that I agree with everything the guy writes, but he's got some excellent points about the show, the American Television machine, and even about how history is being rewritten as an ongoing exercise.

I'm almost sure I mentioned one of these a few days ago.

The scripts for the last three unaired (but filmed and post-produced) Firefly episodes sold on Ebay for eight hundred bucks.

The cool part? The guy who bought them has turned around and posted the first one on the internet.

Great stuff. Enjoy.
