Spike the TV movie??
TV Guides Ausiello asks the question, then answers some that have other verse connections in his weekly column. |
 Question: I'm pleased to hear you plan to ask the WB folks about Angel movies, but please, what we need are Spike movies starring James Marsters. So, if those WBers try to brush you off with a generic "David Boreanaz is busy," you'll help us out and ask specifically about Spike, won't you please? — Grace
Ausiello: As you predicted, WB president David Janollari immediately played the "[Boreanaz] has a lot of other things going on" card when I asked him for an update on the Angel movies. But I was ready with my Spike follow-up. "I've never thought of that," he said of doing a Marsters-centric telepic. "I had not thought about it. We always thought Angel would be the character the audience would want to come back to see. We may give some thought to the Spike movie. That's interesting." I can't be sure, but I think I just pitched a show to the WB.
 Question: Has any character ever been written out more oddly than Elisabeth Rohm on Law & Order? ("You're fired." "Is this because I'm a lesbian?") Huh? Why not just drop a helicopter on her? — Ken
Ausiello: At press tour, exec producer Dick Wolf defended the oddball "outing" by saying it was a "watercooler moment" that had everyone laughing, er, talking. "It was a way in the [final] 30 seconds of her last episode to reveal something about the character," he said. "I mean, you certainly don't think this was done by me and handed to Liz like, 'Say these words.' There was a very honest discussion where I called her up and said, 'Do you want to go out with a bang or a whimper?' And she heard [the idea] and said, 'This is great! Let's go for it!'" Meanwhile, there's apparently no truth to the nasty rumor that the original line was, "Is this because I'm a bad thespian?" People can be so cruel.
 Question: Are you sure Alyson Hannigan chose to drop out of Jennifer Love Hewitt's sitcom, In the Game, and not the other way around (Ask Ausiello 1/19)? — Kar
Ausiello: According to ABC prexy Steve McPherson, Aly's role "kind of diminished just based on the storytelling that was going on. She was unhappy and wanted off the show, so we allowed her to leave." Enter Veronica Mars.
