I take my hat off to Charisma. She is such a star and I really appreciate seeing her speak to the fans in such an honest manner bout what went down between her and Joss.

One question - which "new box-set" is she talking about when she says she did a commentary with Joss? Has there been a re-release of the complete series DVD box-set or was this for something else?

[mistermellow001]

Wow, that's the first time I'd seen Charisma speak in public (I don't really watch a lot of fan stuff). She's very straight forward, and her story about her return was a fascinating insight.

Oh, how I love Charisma! Cordelia was my absolute favorite character and I'm so glad that Charisma feels exactly the same way I do about everything. I just couldn't buy that the same Cordelia that cared for baby Connor like a mother would sleep with him, Big Bad of the season or not. The fact that she came back after all that for the fans speaks volumes about her. Charisma is just fabulous!

I don't know a lot of people who are comfortable talking about being fired. To be in the public eye like her, and tell it like that - my respect for her goes way up. The film business is a business, no matter how much you earn it still hurts when someone mistreats you.

Wow. Screw you, Joss Whedon. Feminist, my ass.

Charisma Carpenter, you are a flawless human being.

[Vamphaery]

Wow, she's really honest about this. Which is very rare in Hollywood, and really cool. And she was really gracious about the plot at the end, and didn't tear Joss down or insult him in any way.

I'll always love Joss, but I think even he'd be the first to admit that he's human and that, while perhaps not from a business point of view or a creative point of view, but on a PERSONAL level, this was probably a mistake. You don't shake on a deal and then change it, contract or no contract.

I didn't understand the Cordelia/Connor relationship either, but come on, it was explained that Jasmine took over Cordelia's body/mind when the gang did the spell to bring back their memories at the end of 'Spin the Bottle' right? So it was Jasmine all along, basically twistedly getting Connor and Cordelia to give her a body so that she could..birth..herself.. *and breathe*.

[HurtMeSoul108]

W o w. I never really disliked Joss Whedon until now. What a prick.

[rockstar690]

so great to hear her discuss the ep. so good!

[Jbauerfan08]

@iluvbnc Okay fine, maybe he's not an "idiot." But he isn't a very nice person and he throws his weight around.

[iluvbnc]

@Jbauerfan08 Once again, Angel wouldn't have even been created without Joss and while I do value your argument would you rather Joss have never created any series or was "an idiot" about Angel and Charisma? I feel like it's kind of impossible to be an idiot and have a brilliant mind...

[Jbauerfan08]

@iluvbnc Sure he has a very brilliant mind and has created some epic tv shows but he's very cocky. Don't you know the story behind Angel getting canceled? it was all Joss's fault, if it weren't for him, Angel probably would have had another season. So sure he's made some great stuff but as a person, he's an idiot
