That sounds like a really good idea. I may try doing that, too, if I can manage the patience.

I really do agree with you on that -- season seven ended by destroying the 'one girl' burden that Buffy had railed against since the first season and anything else will feel like a later epilogue and not part of the original story.

True and a very good point. Joss is well-aware of the value of his fan base, and of their dedication and talent.
