Watching Bones

Well, if you believe Seth Green, he pooped in his trailer - that is, not his own, in Seth’s. Anyway, as long as it was in the toilet, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Kind of an odd thing to bring up at a panel, but hey, this is Seth Green and the cast of Buffy we’re talking about… Anyway, that was just one of the very weird and very interesting things said at the Paley Fest where almost the whole Buffy cast reunited to host a panel for fans.

This was the first time since 2004 that the cast was reunited, it’s just too bad that they all couldn’t - or just plain didn’t - make it. The only ones who didn’t make the reunion were Alyson Hannigan, Eliza Dushku, Anthony Stewart Head, and our beloved David Boreanaz. Since David knew he wasn’t attending, word was that he was going to provide a taped message for the fans, but apparently that didn’t happen either. Sigh.

Anyway, apparently the panel went pretty well despite a few awkward moments. The panel talked about the dark turn Buffy’s character took during the sixth season, and the writers talked about what it was like to work on Buffy. David Greenwalt said, “There’s nothing like taking all your pain and misery and shoving it into good-looking people’s mouths.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar was compared to Jimmy Stewart - sorry, I don’t see the connection there - and Gellar was asked to choose once and for all between Angel and Spike - to which we didn’t really get an answer! Also, Emma Caulfield revealed that during a heart wrenching monologue she gave in the episode “The Body” in which Buffy’s mom had died, what she was really feeling. Too bad it didn’t hold some deeper meaning to life or anything… “I had to go to the bathroom!” I guess if you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go…

They also talked about the bold move to have Willow and Tara become a couple and how the studio dealt with it. An executive at the WB asked “Is [Joss] really going to do this gay thing?” And when they asked him to cut the first kiss between the two, Joss threatened to quit. “It’s the one time I pulled that out,” he said. “And they were like, ‘No, it’s OK. Leave it in.’”
