Whats the difference between shooting scripts and transcripts?
Transcripts are transcribed from what was actually broadcast. They are written by fans and occasionally contain inaccuracies, but Joerg is good about fixing errors brought to his attention. As such they are the best source from which to determine canon. Shoooting scripts are written by the actual Buffy and Angel writers. They often contain bits of dialog or entire scenes that were not broadcast, due to time constraints, continuity issues, etc. Shooting scripts also contain the writers’ witty stage directions. They’re steadicam-a-licious.
