    Not gonna stand for any negativity for this until it shows up and we can give it a fair shake. I’m super excited to hear this.

      While we’re at it someone convince Hulu that Firefly was part of the Buffyverse

    I can’t imagine it’ll be all that good. The thing that really pushes Buffy to “cult classic” status is honestly 90s nostalgia. I can’t imagine a version of Buffy that isn’t heavily steeped in 90s cliches.

      I mean it has some howler episodes but so do a lot of shows. It’s fun, interesting, engaging and full of likeable characters. I can think of a lot worse 90s shows.

    TIL the director of “the Eternals” is the same as “Nomadland”?

    As a Buffy fan I’m quite excited. But sarah michelle gellar is just not a drawcard for me. What’s to be excited about? She played the least interesting character and did a mostly adequate job of it.

      I watched for Willow, Giles, Cordelia and Spike.

      Angel was better sans Buffy.

      Buffy got boring because they leaned into the child soldier and she just gave up trying to have any kind of normalcy in her life.

      Then again its been nearly a decade so I could be misremembering.

        I thought that from S5, after her mom and then she died, that it was the best part of the series. It stopped being as campy and showed much more character growth all around.

        I watched for Willow, Giles, Cordelia and Spike.

        I used to joke that spike should vamp faith, then together they kill buffy and rename the show: Faith and Spike, the Vampires.

          I’d be into that show for sure. Or Spike turns Faith and Buffy and they go off as a triad. Always thought Spike and Faith were better for Buffy than Angel.

            Faith and Spike were the much cooler bearded-evil-dimension versions of Buffy and Angel, for sure.
