I know, right? The "more on that later"s always pay off!

[Air]

They probably write those down in their little notebooks. I bet they have ideas way in advance too written down that they save up to come into play later.

[*~*Rach*~*]

I think it's probably more on the big whiteboards than the little notebooks, but yeah!

[Air]

But how can they keep those big white boards for so long. I mean some of those things must be sitting there for like 6 months to a year. Unless we're overestimating the amount of diabolical planning that Carter and Craig do.

[*~*Rach*~*]

I do believe those big whiteboards stay there the whole time in the writers room. I know for a fact Joss had story ideas on a whiteboard in the Buffy/Angel offices that stayed there at least between seasons.

[Air]

Very cool. I love how you know about their whiteboards

[*~*Rach*~*]

Well, one time Joss was meant to be a surprise guest at a con I was at, but he couldn't make it so he sent us a video with the whiteboard behind him. And that was in May. So filming was well over for the season (it was between S4 and 5 of Angel).

[Daph]

You notice everything! I'm so glad we have you!

Thanks, Air!

I have an idea! I know some of us have ranked our favorite episodes by season, why don't we share? I know Rach has a list! And I have a completed list for season 1 and 2 so far. It'd be fun to compare and spark some episode conversation!

Season One
1) Zip, Zip, Zip
2) The Pineapple Incident
3) Come On
4) Game Night
5) Okay Awesome
6) The Duel
7) Mary the Paralegal
8) The Sweet Taste of Liberty
9) The Limo
10) Life Among the Gorillas
11) Return of the Shirt
12) Pilot
13) Milk
14) Nothing Good Happens After 2am
15) Drumroll, Please
16) Best Prom Ever
17) Cupcake
18) The Wedding
19) Belly Full of Turkey
20) Matchmaker
21) Purple Giraffe
22) ****ty Pumpkin

I haven't done season 1... I still could... maybe I should

And I threw away my season 2 list when the survivor was done

[*~*Rach*~*]
