Some of my favorite scenes in Buffy and Angel are of the two of them, such as the hilltop in Amends, and I'd really like to know what happened. Also, did Buffy moving to UPN have something to do with not showing the meeting? Thanks!

For example, Willow-Fred-Kaylee (Girls next door you hate to see in pain), Cordelia-Anya-Jayne-Captain Hammer (Tactless lunkheads), Giles-Book-Urkon (Father-figures who do what others can't. Boyd may fit in here as well), etc. Do you actively use these archetypes and then figure out ways to make the characters unique, or is it something you do subconsciously?

Between Adele's "X" management style and the lack of operative self-awareness, looks like Dollhouse isn't going there. Have you got another plan to get us invested in these folks, or do we have to be patient? I like the way characters on your shows often bond into virtual families.

To what degree does the network or audience influence you or change your story or plans? And how much control do you have - do you have less control in tv than you do in comics? Do you have less in film than tv? I know for example - that the WB insisted that you have Spike in S5 of Angel and introduce him immediately. To what degree did that change your story? Another example: Fox is promoting Dollhouse as a sexy action series - to what degree does that affect your story?

He even says, at one point, that he wants to "Put the power in different hands." But things didn't turn out so well for Billy in the end. How did the tragic ending relate to the writers-strike metaphor, or did the metaphor not extend that far? We all know that Dr. Horrible was a result of, and a metaphor for, the writer’s strike.
