The theme of…this episode actually changed in the writing of it, which is very unusual on the show, ‘cause normally the guys know exactly what the episode’s about, and you go in knowing it and it never changes, but this one started out being about 'Rumple chooses power over love’ and then I sort of realized during the writing of it, as I was going through drafts, and talking with the guys about it that that’s what Rumple wants to think he’s doing, but really it’s about that he doesn’t think he’s lovable or worthy of love. It just kept getting deeper and deeper as we worked with it.

Since “The Last of Us” TV show came about because Neil Druckmann met up with Craig Mazin due to his work on “Chernobyl”, I’m gonna need Neil to meet up with any of the following creators for a possible “Uncharted” TV adaptation:

1) Erik Oleson (Daredevil season 3)

2) Jonathan E. Steinberg (Black Sails)

3) Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen (Agents of SHIELD, Spartacus)

4) Jane Espenson (Warehouse 13)

Kinda want to do something where I use "allegate" as a verb (in place of "allege"), and yes that is Joss Whedon dialogue, but it's the good, TV Whedon dialogue that's actually largely Jane Espenson dialogue

I know I throw SEASON 7 of ‘BTVS’ under the bus a lot but ‘Conversations With Dead People’ is exceptional! Just watched it again for only the very second time.

The ability to write a character study all the while advancing the plot. To be able to provide strong character development all the while continuing on important plot development. It is so rare to find.

It is by far my favourite episode of Season 7. And there is actually some good contenders in that season despite how much I say that I don’t like it as a whole. I mean ‘Same Time, Same Place’, ‘Help’ and ‘Selfless’ are really great episodes too but ‘Conversations With Dead People’ is on a whole other level of greatness.

It’s probably up there with ‘Hush’, ‘The Body’, ‘Once More, With Feeling’ and ‘Restless’. The thing is though is that they’re all solely Whedon’s work. They’re all the creative, innovative brilliance of one mastermind of TV show making. ‘Conversations With Dead People’ isn’t. But I bet he wishes it was. Because it’s just as good in that it is epic dramatic storytelling all the while being thematically and narratively consistent with everything we have seen so far in the show. And that’s hard to do in a season that loses much of its consistency thereafter. I am extremely impressed.

Jane Espenson, Drew Goddard and Nick Marck

That was phenomenal. Well fucking done 👏👏👏

watching dollhouse (2009-10) and getting beyond excited because jane espenson appears in the writing credits is the equivalent of doing a group project in school and feeling one glimmer of hope because there's someone reasonably sensible assigned to your group too

Mighty shook today after finding out that before Jane Espenson wrote for Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Battlestar Galactica or Once Upon A Time or Torchwood, she was part of a brand management term where she came up with the name ZIMA!

I think it is criminal that the only two Gilmore Girls episodes Jane Espenson was given to write were a Dean-heavy ep and a Digger-heavy Professor Fleming-heavy ep which is the debut of LaneZach  like injustice 

#society where she was allowed to write Literati episodes *shooting cars* #ik she’d have fed me so well just like with Spuffy. Also she’s so hilarious why waste her on Chicken or Beef? + Afterboom of all premises #Gilmore girls #jane espenson #Btvs #tangentially #s speaks

[buffygirlfail]

one thing about me is i will always adore the antagonist introduced in s2 who wears all black and leather and falls in love with the chosen one despite all odds and changes to be a better man for her !!

#spuffy #captainswan #killian jones #spike btvs #insert the two nickels joke #also if they happen to be penned by jane espenson... a bigger W !! #bye sorry for ouat posting i won't do this again #also if any of this is inaccurate it's bc i haven't watched ouat in like 5 years so #anyways!

Seeing all of this transphobic, anti-queer rhetoric, the Kids Online Safety Act - all aimed at silencing and censoring queer people and queerness in general is making me think of the “Gingerbread” episode in season 3 of buffy:

All the moms band together to burn their own children alive for ironically, the sake of “the children” who turn out to not even be real but just an evil demon in disguise. And that is EXACTLY what conservatives do anytime they went to pass something hateful they invoke “it’s for the safety of our children!! HOW can you say no to keeping our children safe???” Always invoking this idea of innocence that must be protected at all cost. Meanwhile the very real children of our country are separated from their parents, have SCHOOL LUNCH DEBT and go hungry, their parents have to leave them with day care staff or nannies to work WAYYYY too soon because parental leave does not exist in the US and most households rely on dual incomes and far worse things that require a trigger warning that if you are paying attention you know all too well what I’m referring to. The US is doing a HORRIFIC job of actually protecting the emotional, physical, and mental well being of children so it’s honestly such a joke and I cannot believe anyone is still falling for the “it’s for the kids” line when they now sell bullet proof backpacks….

That episode aired in January of 1999 for crying out loud.

I know the episode itself it a little hokey but my god I was speechless the first time I saw it because it so perfectly illustrated this mob mentality and fear mongering that can lead parents to do absolutely horrible things to their own children because they’ve been manipulated into believing it’s necessary to protect this concept of innocence from harm and how in the episode it was so easy it was to deem their own children - mostly teen girls - as evil and demonic and in need of being destroyed and how many parents in our world sacrifice the wellbeing of their own children because they have been manipulated by religion or politics to do so, all the while so fervently believing they are in the right and that abusing or disowning your children is the right thing to do for the sake of society as a whole.

The episode uses witchcraft and devil worship as the red herring which was very much what was used at the time in the US and now it has shifted to drag queens, trans people, and queer culture in general as this bogeyman type thing out to get your kids so you better get them before they get you! It is so transparent and literally such fucking bullshit it is so frustrating to see so many people still fall for this tactic that has been used literally forever to mobilize people into hating each other so the people in power can stay there.

And of course my beloved Jane was one of the writers for this ep. I fucking love her with my whole heart she is an absolute genius who just gets it and this is why such a campy supernatural show has such longevity, the themes of the episodes are timeless and were often so ahead of it’s time when it first aired.

i don’t like ‘gingerbread’ as an episode, but i do appreciate that btvs did a very special episode on the satanic panic, with the underlying message that it was fucking stupid.

It is hilarious to think of "Buffy Studies" as a real thing that exists when you consider one of the best character arcs on the entire show is a direct result of what happens when an unstoppable force (Spike) meets an immovable object (the devil in a short shaped man and his minions).

Like...how do you study failing upward?

“You are a hero who helped your people. You're a beautiful woman who loved an ugly man. Really, really loved me. You find goodness in others. And when it's not there, you create it. You make me want to go back. Back to the best version of me. And that never happened before. So when you look in the mirror and you don't know who you are, that's who you are.”

Just reminding everyone that this dialogue came very close to being cut

btvs may be older, but i was raised on ouat. and my favs killian and william are virtually the same man - different flavors. big bad villian with a heart of gold? soft spot for blonde savior/chosen one women? big black leather coats?? they each respectively go by "hook" or "spike"!! i mean... come on.
