Whedon: More Buffy in the future

[Mercule]

< shudder >

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

Eh, he was terrible as an angsty teen regular, but I actually liked him when he returned in the last season. Couldn't be worse than Andrew -- man, I can't hardly stand to watch the episodes where he's featured.

You are strange and off-putting. "Storyteller" has to be one of the best Buffy episodes made.

Andrew was fine in very small doses. But when he became a semi-regular in season 7 is--for me--one of the distinct points when the show went downhill. Not too fond of his appearances in Angel, either.

Andrew was a one-joke pony whose joke got old long before the show ended, IMNSHO.

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

I, too, would like a source on this. While I've definitely heard the "Sarah doesn't want to play Buffy again" bit, the other two are news to me. Seth Green's appeared on numerous special features and has had nothing but good things to say about Joss, IME. And I've certainly never heard anything about Brendon having an issue with him.

If it's just net rumor, I'd be careful. Net rumor had me convinced that Seth Green and Sarah hated each other, and then Sarah started popping up as a guest voice on Seth's show "Robot Chicken."

How about a Buffyverse TV Series set in the near future, perhaps 2050 or 2075. Spike would be the main character and build a new cast around Marsters.

Wasn't the main character of Joss' comic series 'Frey' (or was it 'Fray'? Never read it) essentially about a slayer in the future?

Yep.

Decent series. Not great, not up to any of Joss' TV stuff, but not bad.

Good enough, in fact, that I'm rather miffed he never (to my knowledge) came out with a sequel to tie up the many loose ends.

For those die-hard Buffy fans, I'll recommend "Monster Zero Productions".
It's a site that has tons of Buffy-related stuff, inclusding a couple of virtual seasons of Buffy and Angel, and some spin-offs.

It's all unofficial, of course, but there's some really quality stuff to be had.

I only disagree with Mouseferatu on his first point. Andrew was irritating even in small doses. Season 7 would've been much more watchable if Johnathan was the killer and Andrew was the one gutted on the seal.

I liked Andrew. Not liked as in "Hey come on over and let's game," but I thought he was an interesting character. Weak-willed and overconfident at the same time. Did horrible things but was still convinced he was the hero of his story (the hallmark of a well-written villain, for me). Yes he was annoying, but that was part of the point. He will never be cool, or respected, but he's trying anyway.

Anyway: More Buffyverse = GOOD

I did think they overdid Andrew in the last season, but I loved his Angel appearances.
