Good news yesterday, coinciding nicely with James Marsters' birthday! It looks like the Spike TV movie might actually happen, and if so, it will be written and directed by Tim Minear! Glee!

Of course, I still don't really like the idea of having any kind of resolution from the Angel season 5 cliffhanger. (I give comics the canon-credibility of good fanfic.) And seeing as how SMG and David Boreanaz wouldn't go near the project for all the tea in China, the lack of both Spuffy and delightful Spike/Angel snark would be quite a downer. Maybe Tim will go in the opposite temporal direction and write about the wacky evil hijinks of Spike and Dru? Feh, whatever. I trust Tim, and I trust Joss. And seeing the gruesome fate that has befallen (that is so not a word. that befell?) Tim's recent projects, in spite of their brilliance, I'm not getting my hopes up. I just hope he can work with someone other than Fox.
