I watched Streetcar Named Desire the other day and I was thinking about how the thing about Brandoapos;s performance in that film is that you never know what heapos;s going to do next. Could be good, could be bad, but it will definitely be intense, and thatapos;s what keeps people glued to him: the sense that on the one hand heapos;s completely self-contained and self-assured, and on the other hand, he could explode at any moment. Then I thought, you know, Lythrilapos;s kind of like that. Everyone whoapos;s ever worked with her has that same sense: anything could happen at any moment and though you try to brace yourself, youapos;ll never see it coming.

Anyway. Weapos;re still working our way through the first season of Buffy; we just finished "The Pack" (season 1, episode 6). I note with some dismay that I am now starting to get into it. Ah well. Anyhow, they do a good job of making it just scary enough, and the episodes are better when, as with this one, they just telegraph the whole plot in the first minute or so and rely on the creepy/scary/character anguish stuff rather than mystery-type supsense. Cause there is no suspense. Once again I had the "twist" figured out before the first commercial break. Still, I was not expecting them to actually kill off Principal Flutie so early in the series; though I figure it is becoming a rule that as soon as one of the teachers or administrators is nice to Buffy or shows any sympathetic qualities, that person immediately becomes monster bait.

We tried out the "special features" and were disappointed; the little talking head clips of Joss Wheedon donapos;t really illuminate anything. But he did talk about how much he loves writing the characters and being alone with them, and I was thinking today about how heapos;s right. It is a lot of fun to write characters you know really well. Itapos;s like hanging out with old friends; they do something and you think, "Ah, how very characteristic." Which briefly gave me a vision of a tween show called Thatapos;s So Iolys, but fortunately it didnapos;t last.

Anyway, that is one thing I really miss about writing WOF, which I havenapos;t been doing now for some time: hanging out with the characters. I can get some of that from rereading the books, but itapos;s really not the same. Ah well. Maybe someday Iapos;ll have time to go back to it.
