But what really surprises me about both episodes is how vanilla they are.
Yeah, my issues with the show are more network related because, obviously, the show FOX wants (as judged by the 'pop-up's' with a half-naked Dushku gazing seductively into the camera - I mean, really, would they sell 24 and Jack Bauer like that?) and the story Joss wants to tell are, apparently, mutually exclusive. So, Joss has been forced to pull his punches with a premise that shouldn't be held back. I understand he did this as a favor to Dushku, who's production company is producing it, but, honestly, wish he'd said 'no' and tried to find another network looking for something a bit more than 'Hot Girls With Guns'.
