Charisma to Attend MegaCon

So, she played up to him, probably hugged and kissed when she ran into him at events, and basically sucked up like anyone would who wanted a part.

However, I think a small panel like this which isn't covered by TV Guide or other worldwide media is more telling of a person's real feelings. And she may have forgiven him, but I doubt she'll ever forget and she shouldn't. At least if she does ever work with him again, she'll be better prepared for the crappy things he's capable of doing.

ETA: Which video do they ask if they'd work with Joss again? Also, can anyone hear what CC says after she asked them how she dies (just before there's a big laugh)? She kinda mumbles what their answer was.

The "Buffy" round table discussion which was included on the "Chosen" DVD release.

Nobody knows what exactly went on - nor do they know Charisma's true feelings on the matter then or now. This all occurred some six years ago and should be left in the past. I come on this board to learn abount what Charisma is up to now - not read another rant about Joss Whedon.

From RGS80074 on her IMDB-PRO message board.

she was in orlando this weekend with some other stars of buffy/angel.

i was lucky enough to met her and emma for a photo op and then went to the buffy q & a panel.

sadly did get any real one on one time but at these conventions i don't think you rarely do unless its real slow and they are bored.

what i will say is i never was real taken with her. yeah she was always very hot looking but nothing that really got to me.

well seeing her in person has made me change my mind. i have some pictures of her on my pc and nothing does her justice. in person she was beyond belief, perfection is all i can say.

she had her son with her which probably makes these conventions hard on her and him as well. i am sure his ideal day is not spending 8-10 hours at a convention watching others drool over getting to met his mother.

i now really fell compelled to watch her in anything she does, i am in love, not that us normal people have a chance with those of her status.

anyway good luck to her in everything she does.

Ahhh. another convert.

That may be your reason, but that doesn't mean other people are not entitled to their own opinions about the matter. I happen to agree that a spontaneous, real-time, real-life reaction (like the kind actually captured on videotape) is a lot more telling about how she feels about the situation than a pre-staged DVD taping. And it seems to me that she still feels pretty devastated.

But either way... I wasn't going to say anything about it because I've long since stopped caring either way about anything related to Joss Whedon. I don't watch his shows or support him in any way, and never will, but I don't rant anymore either. But if someone else wants to talk about it, they should be entitled to.

Hi Platy!

I'm still trying to figure out how I missed a Josh Rant? Did someone forget to use the RANT font again?

I never for one moment suggested other people are not entitled to an opinion. I'm just suggesting that the past be left alone (unless some genuine news comes to light of course) and we all enjoy the present.

Thanks for the information.

However, I believe you took a few personal opinions way over the top. Nobody that I saw (including myself) was ranting.

I disagree that nobody knows what happened. It's been made very clear from interviews by both CC and Whedon what happened. She was fired and she wasn't informed she was being fired. She was asked to come back for one episode (because SMG wasn't available) and was told she wouldn't be killed off. After she signed, they then told her she would be killed. Those are facts. Maybe you consider them perfectly acceptable behaviors or that's the way the business is, but others would disagree.

But it's a matter of personal interpretation about whether there are still hard feelings there. If you want to interpret CC's facial expressions and tone of voice as meaning she's gotten over it, that's your opinion. Others can interpret the same expressions as something different and are certainly free to express that opinion.

[Angela]

Just for the record, I don't give two hoots about anything Joss is or will be doing. But for some long-time Charisma fans, there are things that may never be forgotten. And they should be allowed to express their feelings here of all places, which has always been if nothing else a place where people don't tell you what you're allowed to talk about. There are threads here now where I disagree with the consensus, so I stay out of the convo. I don't suggest that they change the topic.

ETA: Hey, Plat! I just realized that was you--I thought it was DS. Not that I'm not always excited to see her too...lol

Viva la Whedon rants! \o/

It may have been six years, but some of us have long memories. Others are new to the board and to the fandom. This is where we talk about CC, good and bad, and as long as a respectful tone is maintained, it's all good.

And last I recall, the FAQ didn't include time limits or cut offs on what we talk about.

In an attempt to move back to topic and avoid a ranting wars, here is the transcipt to the Buffy Panel.

I think I just put more fuel to this inferno.

Anyway, it was a neat panel, not the least because those were my three favorite Cordyverse actresses who played my three favorite Cordyverse characters. I would have like to have been able to be there.

Thanks for posting that! We got a lot more information from it than we did from those videos.

Thanks for that, you know I felt really bad for EC, she still seemed kind of sad that no one (in the show) cared that Anya died.

I remember when the finale ended a bunch of us remarked on how cold her death was treated. It was like, Anya's didn't make it..oh well let's go rock Cleveland! Wooo Party!

Yeah, it did seem that Emma and Amber both shared some of the reservations that a lot of fans had about how their characters were treated, in addition to CC, although in CC's case I think it was also largely about how she herself was treated. At any rate, it's water under the bridge at this point, and doesn't really change the view of Joss I've had for a long time (i.e. very clever and talented, but prone to his own cliches, and sometimes kind of a dick).
