The "Buffy remake" is getting more and more ridiculous with every bit of information that is leaked. It is still in the realm of the thing known as the development stage and already it's failing harder than the original movie.

The problem with it is that the Kuzuis own the rights to Buffy having discovered it over a decade ago, so regardless if Whedon is involved or not they can do basically whatever they want. I was telling Dawny that no matter what route they go with it, it's just not going to be the same. Like you said Joss is the master mind behind Buffy. It was his baby to begin with. Without him or any of the other writers/producers (aka Marti Noxon, David Fury, David Greenwalt, David Solomon, Jane Espenson) it just won't be the same. Granted Kaz Kuzui IS one of the MAJOR producers of the show, but still.

I agree with every last thing you just said especially the lack of creativeness in the industry now. As a writer myself it makes me upset as well. It's just becoming very sad.

Like you said we have our memories and if new generations want to experience Buffy they can buy the damn DVDs. Hell new fans join the fandom every day. There are still cons you can go to, merchandise you can buy, etc. The fan-base is still very much alive and kicking.

And oh O'Brian after typing this whole post out earlier, I stepped back and realized that I know way too much about the history and behind the scenes on goings of my shows. I wrote that whole thing from freaking memory...I need help! Rehab or something.
