Go Fish

Sorry for the odd edit. The full episode is now up! Please re-download if you have the clipped version.

The Sunnydale High School has finally got a winning sports team! That should be a red flag right there that something isn’t right with them. Is there some fish monster eating people, but leaving their skin, or is it more complex than that?

Buffy The Vampire Slayer – The Sequel! (but wait…)

buffy-remake The first time I saw it was as a headline.  “Buffy the Vampire Slayer Remake”.

The first thing that runs through my head is, “Oh my God, they’re going to let him do season 8 on TV!!!”  Yeah.  No such luck (and honestly, how COULD they?  That comic is fairly epic in scope, and would be a bitch to translate to the TV…)  OK, but still, another Buffy movie!?  Hope SMG has stayed in fighting shape!  And then I continue to read…

Now, I’m not going to dismiss the movie yet, just because they aren’t going to do exactly what I want them to do.  That would be silly.  However, isn’t it also silly to make a Buffy movie without Joss Whedon?!  C’MON, people?!  He’s Joss!  She’s Buffy!  They go together like peanut butter and jelly!!!  How can you do one without the other?

Apparently, Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, the directors of the first Buffy movie, are planning on making number two.  However, they “have yet to reach out to Joss”.  OK, well what are you waiting for?!  Don’t they realize that the only reason anyone watches their movie at all is because they became rabid fans due to the Buffy TV series?!

On top of no Joss, neither will we have Xander, Willow, Giles and it sounds like we may not even have a Buffy…from what I’ve been able to put together so far, the producers want to continue in the “every generation has their own slayer” theme and move onto an entirely different cast.  I suppose that would actually be for the best, considering the amount of baggage that people have for Buffy herself, but the last thing we need is another lame “Twilight” wannabe.

Joss’ response is, of course, classy and awesome.  “I hope it’s cool.” he is quoted as saying.

Me too, Joss.  (But, I kinda doubt it will be…)

I Only Have Eyes For You

The Sadie Hawkins dance is coming up and Buffy is off the dating track… “forever”. There are two love birds that still have some issues to work out, to bad they are both dead. Giles thinks the ghostly activity is Jenny trying to finish up some unresolved issues while the rest of the gang just want to get the deadly incident to stop repeating. Eventually our dead star crossed lovers find the best hosts for their deadly rerun in Buffy and Angelus but not quite the way one might expect.
