Aly on KROQ

[xita]

Yeah, the same KROQ but on a morning show. We need better Aly contacts, cause I could have listened to this

From Willtara courtesy of cinderbell

Lurker delurking, to inform you all that Aly was on Monday morning's
radio show on Los Angeles radio station, KROQ. I thought for sure
someone else would mention or comment on it, but apparently no one
heard it. Her comments on Willow and Tara were ones that I heard her
say before. Such as their relationship not being treated fairly.
What she had to add to her comments were ones that I had never heard
her say before. Now don't quote me on these, but this is basically
the gist of what she said. The first one was said when one of the
morning hosts said a comment about them releasing a Too Hot for TV
Buffy Edition, since the WB wasn't letting them kiss, or anything
else for that matter. Aly laughing, went about saying how her and
Amber, in the spur of the moment, have indeed kissed before. And it
was done when the whole crew was messing around. She elaborated that
it was more than a peck. The second main thing that I thought was
interesting was that Alyson said that they were considering crossing
over to Angel in order for them to show a kiss on TV. She said that
since it was at a later time slot, the censors were more loose. Now
I know that the second point has been talked about with fans, but it
was interesting to hear that Joss is actually considering it. All in
all it was a pretty good interview and it was done in a typical Aly
fashion. For now that's all that I can remember. But I hope that
the transcript will be posted on the KROQ website soon, or someone
else besides me heard it. If not, I'll just pick my brain to
remember exactly what was said. But it's too late in the night to
remember right now. Hope you guys enjoyed the new Willow and Tara
information.
Later!
(Rock on! -Cinderbell)

Oh, my mind is spinning from the info.

OMG!!

I am shocked. More than just a peck? My brain just shorted out at the thought.
Oh. My. God.

[TyRex316]

I knew there was more behind all the Darla/Dru on Angel, just Joss testing to see how much more he can get away with at 9p.m. Just kidding, but it is very interesting that they even may seriously be considering such a tatic. And we've known Joss has at least one 'just for me' photo of aly/amber somewhere so the fact that have kissed offscreen isn't all that surprising.

[april]

hmmm. this is way exciting, but i'm a bit dubious as to whether or not it's true. about the angel crossover, specifically. first of all, i thought i read somewhere that they were thinking of doing less crossovers, because of the scheduling logistics involved. or was that in the possibly bogus marti interview?

second of all, if they're really so concerned about sensationalizing a w/t kiss, why would they have them cross over and do a special episode of angel to allow them to do it? that would draw much more attention than if it happened somehow in the normal context of things on buffy.

and what does it mean exactly, "it was done when the whole crew was messing around"? does that mean they caught it on camera? oh, how i'd love to see that footage...

i'm trying to curb my excitement...i want to hear a tape or something of this interview first, to see if it's really true...

so cruel to think that there are w/t smoochies already out there on film somewhere, and we may never get to see them.

[xita]

Yes spring, OMG, and I wonder if this is the same thing Amber was talking about when she said they'd touched lips. I have a feeling this is a different season 5 thing. I need a transcript people!

A lot of your problems with this come from that "Marti interview," which I am not convinced is real.

[Spring]

Well, I'd like to believe it just based on faith. I generally like to believe things that are positive and not believe things when they are negative (like the Marti interview).
Now what I want to know is if the crew was messing around....was it an all gay all naked orgy on the Buffy set? Ah well, I just had to do that.
This reminds me of what Aly said in an interview once about doing Shakespeare at Joss's home once a week. It suddenly dawned on me that perhaps Joss would set them up in one of these rehearsals to have Aly play Romeo and Amber play Juliet (for example). Now, it would make sense that Joss would also want to have them kiss in these Shakespeare rehearsals as well, so for them to kiss on set wouldn't seem out of character or unusual (am I stretching here?).
It would make sense to have them rehearse that before an episode like NMR or Family. Or Othello prepping for all that Faith and the Mayor stuff for SMG and Eliza.

[Dr.G]

Okay, thank you all, I just suffered a total mental melt down. First Family, now *this*. I don't know how much more I can take. If I'd actually get to see them kiss now, I'd probably have to CPR myself. Which is not easy.
And Xita, what are you talking about? Amber said they've touched lips as well? When? Where? What? Ah, well it must be true if they both say it.

[TyRex316]

Dr.G-According to Amber or Aly, I can't remember which. And please take into account whoever said may have just been joking around. Joss got them to kiss on camera(Polarid, Canon w/150x Zoom, who knows) in one of his infamous 'C'mon, it's just for me' impromptu photos. So, that's at least one, alledgely. But that was a while ago, if at all, what Aly's referring to sounds more recent.

[hopey]

please, transcription! please! someone!

[Dr.G]

Thank you TyRex, I should have read that in your first post in this thread, but I was too blown away.
Well, that means more than one liplock occurred. Didn't someone teach Joss the concept of sharing? Gimme that pic!

I agree that it would kinda sensationalize it if they did a kiss as part of a crossover, but I'd take that over never getting to see them kiss. Plus, once they got away with it on Angel, it'd be harder not to let them kiss occasionally on Buffy. And they could do it without too much hype. They brought Faith back for a guest spot in the season opener without making it a "very special Angel event"

As far as the shows pulling back from doing crossovers, I believe that Joss was specifically talking about having Sarah and David crossing over. I think we'll still get guest spots from other cast members on the other show, but because they're the leads it makes it more difficult. (WTWTA was the result of the last time they had to get creative and not show Sarah onscreen as much in a Buffy ep so Buffy could go to LA. )

And oh, what I wouldn't give for a blooper tape that had that Aly/Amber kiss...

Heart...stopping...now...argh!

WOW!

Elaborating on what Spring said, i'd like to think of Aly and Amber doing Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"...my favorite play with girl-girl romance in it (ok, girl dressed up as boy-girl romance). heck, i got to see Helen Hunt & Kyra Sedgwick kiss on PBS doing this play! oh, to have Aly and Amber do it too - Yowza!

Juicy!

Well, here's the KROQ website, which lists the AH interview, but no audio up at the moment ...

To digress for a minute and find some precedents for WB letting it happen . . . Someone must have mentioned this at some point, but . . . any DS9 watchers here? I'm thinking of an ep I haven't actually seen . . . all but one clip from it, that is . . . when Jadzia Dax kisses the widow (or former girlfriend, or something) of Curzon Dax. And *if* I remember right, it was a SERIOUS kiss . . . The only way they managed it, I'm sure, was to pass it off as a goodbye kiss between a straight boy-girl couple, and not *really* two women Frenching on screen (which is what it looked like to me). Let's face it, the sci-fi medium allows you to get away with otherwise-impossible things. The original series of Star Trek even depicted TV's first interracial kiss in the 1960s--the only way they managed *that* was by making clear that aliens were controlling Kirk and Uhura so they weren't acting of their own free will.

I think these story lines would be out of place on BTVS. W/T are clearly girlfriends, so no need for mind-control or anything such as that. Someone just needs to point out to WB that, on some level at least, it's already been done.

Oh, and where is it again you folks are finding the code for these great jaw-dropping smilies?

[Hugin]

The kiss itself was fairly good. The storyline behind it was pretty cowardly.

[Dr.G]

To answer your post November. Jadzia Dax was kissing Lenara Kahn. Their symbionts were husband and wife in previous lives. It was not a goodbye kiss, but very much a sloppy 'I want you kiss'. However the episode itself didn't add up to much in my opinion.
You can find the jaw dropper here: http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/cgi-bin/n. ... x&noframes

Or by clicking on Crack's smiles at top of the page at this board, it opens on the right page for the jaw dropper. There are many, many smileys there.

Ummmm... must... read... transcript!

Anyway, I wonder --> see, me wondering, could this be the reason Amber seems so much more comfortable this season? She and Aly been macking out on us?

tee hee

oh, don't get me wrong...i am in full, unwavering, letter-writing-campaign-to-the-WB support of *any* type of w/t kiss. a kiss on angel wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

i was just saying that if joss and marti and whoever else are concerned about sensationalizing a kiss, sending w/t to angel specifically for that reason probably isn't the route that they'd take.

but then again, i'm hoping that all my skepticism is based on a bogus marti interview. my jaw is dropping as far as anyone else's.

transcript please! or audio, even! i wanna hear aly *say* it!

PS: hey dri! where have you been hiding lately? gonna come chat with us tonight after "triangle"?

Macking out or making out?
Ah, I wish I could go around kissing some of my co-workers on the spur of the moment. God knows we mess around enough.

[november]

Thanks, Dr.G . . . I should have figured that people would know about the Dax scene . . . and I'll try the smiles links again. Didn't work for me before . . .

There WAS that soundtrack in the ice cream van in Restless.

[Kiwiccan]

Aaahhhh..... Aly and Amber kissing, and not for a scene. I have had many a conversation with a few people about this very thing. It was more of wishful speculation, but we were right. I'm glad Amber has gotten over her "you can't do this to me, I'm from Alabama" fears.

Re: crossovers, Sarah/David scheduling, blah, blah . . . everything I've read about that issue (the scheduling) has been to discourage B/A fans from getting their hopes up because logistically it's not do-able and
both characters have moved on.

However, both reports have been unverifiable, but it makes sense, as far as we're talking about Sarah and David and a possible B/A reunion, which Joss/Marti have
discouraged (in the things I've read).

However, there has been one crossover this season, and I don't think they would have included it if they already had the "no crossover" rule because of things that happened last season.

The crossover we've seen so far focused on Spike (who is very much a supporting character on Buffy) and on Darla/Angel. Now
B/A may be out the window, but it's silly and premature to assume that Spike and Dru have no issues with each other and that their paths will never cross again. Dru showing up right as Spike begins to pursue an active romantic interest in a slayer?
Coincidence? I do not think so. I'd love to see what Dru thinks of Spike's lust for Buffy, or Spike's chip. I'd love to see Spike's face when he figures out Darla and Dru have 'hooked up'.

I don't think all of these issues will be skirted entirely, and the logistics of it would be easier (since they involve supporting/reoccurring characters).

Aly and Amber kissing, all I can say is WOW! We definitely need a copy of that transcript.

I don't think having Willow and Tara's first kiss take place on Angel would necessarily sensationalize it. As long as the crossover was advertised in the normal manner, without any hype, and the kiss wasn't made out to be the centerpiece of the episode then the sensationalism could be avoided. Granted once word of the crossover became public everyone here would realize the implications, but not the public at large.

Whether Willow and Tara's first kiss takes place on Angel or on Buffy is secondary, the important point is that once it has occurred it will be harder not to let them kiss again in future episodes.

[eekiboo]

thank you so much for this good refreshing news xita and cinderbell! that is definitely the next best thing to the real kiss (well, for now i.e.!) atleast Aly admitted she and Amber kissed, and to top it off with the words "more than a peck!" it means there's still 'hope' for us romanticists! bring on the kiss, even if it's on a crossover ep! (better than not having one at all!) we need smoochies! heh.heh. pax.
