Crap

Hilary J. Bader apparantly died sometime recently. She wrote one of my favorite Xenas ("Been There, Done That"), as well as some awesome episodes of Batman:Beyond and the various other DC animated shows. I'm pretty sure she also did some Trek writing.

Was that the episode where the day kept repeating? That's one of my favorite episodes, too.

That's the one! It was such a fun episode.

I fell out of my chair when she killed Joxer.

:-) Yeah, that's when I knew it was going to be a different sort of episode.

"A FINE WRITER named Hillary Bader passed away yesterday after losing her battle with ovarian cancer. I am not certain of her age -- mid-forties, perhaps? -- other than she went way too soon. Her credits included the Batman Beyond and Superman animated programs, comic books based on those shows, various recent incarnations of Star Trek on TV and in bookstores, and the TV series, Xena: Warrior Princess. I didn't know Hillary well but the few times we chatted, she seemed passionate about her work and dedicated to achieving even bigger and better things. I'm sure she would have achieved them and am sorry to lose her and her wonderful imagination.
