Just a note Jess. I am such a nerd, and I actually just watched “Potential”, the Chosen Collection is amazing. They credited the episode to the writing of Rebbeca Rand Kirshner andthe directing was done by James A. Counter. So, I was just wondering what was up with that. Thanks

Don’t worry cjreidy, this is the one place you are praised for your Buffy nit-picky-ness!

Is he getting banned and that’s why he’s coming up with new subtitles to his name or what?
Anyway, does anyone know what the man is doing these days? I know that he wrote a couple of episodes of Tru Calling, but that was three years ago now.
