Whedon: More Buffy in the future

[Alzrius]

I'm not at all displeased to hear that Geller doesn't want to come back. I don't know if it was the writing, or her acting, but as a character Buffy annoyed the crap out of me. I couldn't ever see her more as an airhead with really crappy kung-fu.

Now, a movie with Spike would be great, especially if they could work in characters like Angel and Ilyria. I loved watching Angel, and would like to see more in that vein.

My new series based on existing characters:

Spike
Turned human (in the pilot of by the end of the first season). Happy to be human - unhappy about the lack of kewl powers. Tries to compensate with gadgets.

Illyria
"The Alien".

Andrew
"The Watcher". Books and magic. Wants to be taken seriously.

Faith
"The Slayer". For the complete ex-bad guy/gal set.

Maybe throw in one of the new slayers as "The Innocent" - extra eye candy and a fresh viewpoint.

Theme: The Dark Side beckons...

I like it.

[ QUOTE=Mouseferatu]Let Sarah focus on her fabulous movie career. [/QUOTE]

Actually, I was surprised at her role in "The Grudge" - I thought she did a great job, and weirdly enough, she's developing a career as a "scream queen." My personal favorite is the first "Cruel Intentions," however. YOWZA!

No, no, no, no more Andrew, pleeeeeeease!

Faith + Robin Wood is good. I'd rather have Wesley back, though.

I dunno, I liked Andrew.



...as time went by.

Ditto, though Wes is pretty clearly dead, and I don't think ex-Watchers get a "come back from the dead" card.

I'd still like to see my idea for a post-Buffy/Angel Buffyverse show.

Take two of the non-title characters from Buffy/Angel, and have them as a roving team that looks for new Slayers, helps them get started, and/or provides some backup when the new girls get in trouble. Faith & Robin would work pretty well for that. Or Willow and Kennedy. Dawn & Xander. Maybe even Connor & someone new.

I pretty much have to agree. It was one of the reasons I never liked the "Buffyverse". Personally, I'd much rather he find a way to do more firefly or something like it as that worked a lot better for me than either of the "Buffyverse" shows.

Well, from what I've heard Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon and Seth Green will most definitely not be working with Whedon again, and aside from Buffy, Xander and Oz that makes it really hard to include Willow or Dawn in a spinoff either. And as far as I'm concerned we saw far too much of Spike in the last few seasons of Buffy as it is - having the darn show-wreckin' Mary-Sue show up with his own series after miraculously coming back from the dead a SECOND time would make me barf.

A Faith spinoff could work, though I'm inclined to think Faith's story came to a passably nice conclusion as things were. Angel surviving the battle at the end of the series finale would massively cheapen things, so I hope they'd let him lie too. The only one of the remaining cast I'd be particularly interested in seeing more of would be Illyria...

 

[Iku Rex]

.... Connor ...

< shudder >

Anyone but Connor. The usleless little fink should never have been introduced in the first place.

Well, from what I've heard Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon and Seth Green will most definitely not be working with Whedon again . . .

Can you tell me why this is the case? I haven't read much about them since they left. I knew that SMG and SG probably wouldn't go back to those characters but I am surprised about NB.

Thanks!

Have a good one! Take care!
