Fingers crossed for Atlantis renewal
If you're an Atlantis fan it definitely feels like sacrificing the vegetable of your choice to the Gods of TV Season Renewal might be a good idea right now. It sounds pretty touch-and-go at the moment if we get a S5 or not, but I'm feeling a bit more optimistic than I was a few days ago

Have you seen that SGA has been renewed? I'm so relieved we're getting a fifth season.
I feel the same way as you about the Buffy/Angel comics. For me the shows were a collaboration between not just the writers and show runners, but the actors, lighting people, editing people, the music used; all of it. There were episodes where the writing was not the strongest element in making a story work. The comics just don't interest me at all. If I want to read what happened next to the characters without the actors being involved I'd actually rather read fanfic, simply because it isn't canon and so doesn't interfere with what I like to think happened next.
There was a link to the latest on Ripper on Whedonesque today.

At Comic-Con International this year, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon told fans the long-rumored Giles project, named “Ripper” after the watcher's one-time nickname, may finally come to fruition. Head confirmed that Whedon was in talks with the BBC. “It would be a one-off, and it would probably be a two hour movie, or a 90 minute movie for TV,” Head explained. “We're looking at maybe something in the summer, just kind of depends on the availability of rights and things.”
So, it sounds as if it may be going ahead. And just as you say about SG-1 feelings as if it's still happening as long as SGA is on air, I feel that if Ripper is happening that Buffy and the others are still doing what they do.
