N..."Should I take that as confirmation?"<br /><br />Nope, that wasn't meant as a confirmation. But what I'm gonna say next KINDA is.<br /><br />"Sigh. I'm sounding bitter and nerdy. I just enjoyed your thoughts on the comics, and I was kinda like "saaaaaaaaay whaaaaaaat?" when I learned you weren't interested in finishing reviews of season 8. Granted, you have a life, and you're busy - maybe put up some sort of hiatus notice?"<br /><br />Yeah. I appreciate you even reading what I've had to say, so I take your bitterness as a compliment, to be honest. I'm honored that anyone even cares enough to *be* bitter, if you now what I mean. Honestly, it's a time issue (I teach two classes with about 35 students each which is a lot of grading, and I also write my own stuff) and as far as Buffy: Season Eight goes, there's a bit of a conflict of interest. I couldn't really be fair in my Buffy reviews, for a couple of reasons. So I had to stop with those.<br /><br />"I assure you that my bad attitude comes from a place of appreciation. You know, like an eight-year-old who suddenly doesn't get pudding after dinner."<br /><br />Yeah. Honestly, I don't have the time to keep up regular reviews any more. I'm going to be doing a few more entries on this site (final looks at ILLYRIA, ANGEL, and SPIKE, as well as a countdown to Angel: Yearbook that will mirror the countdown I had to "After the Fall." I'll close out the site with an interview with Brian Lynch, who has been more kind to this blog than I could've ever expected.<br /><br />If you dig my reviews, though, I'm going to be posting a weekly column on popmatter.com, which is a gig I'm thrilled to have gotten.<br /><br />Also, pick up "Angel: Yearbook," because I've got a story in there. I haven't announced that yet, but hey. There it is.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.PatShandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03304215370818359252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984379880042174862.post-77594130469809258272011-03-11T17:33:05.946-08:002011-03-11T17:33:05.946-08:00Should I take that as confirmation?

He's also one of the best Buffyverse writers out there. With Brian on Spike, Scott on Illyria, and Tisch and Mariah on Angel... really can't beat it.Patrick Shandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814742448994927728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984379880042174862.post-48258995925572627692010-12-14T07:24:36.430-08:002010-12-14T07:24:36.430-08:00I agree, I think this series is taking a little lo...I agree, I think this series is taking a little long to get into its stride. Feels like Spike has something to prove, and that's never really been Spike's deal. He's just badass, so badass he's not afraid to admit when he's doing something very unbadassish (yeah, that's now a word) like getting his soul back to make Buffy love him, or parodying Angel from a rooftop (one of my FAVOURITE Spike moments).<br /><br />Get Ilyria #1!
