Since I posted about the Buffy reboot in the first place, I feel duty-bound to post the follow-up information: It looks like the Buffy revival will focus on a new Slayer

Buffy reboot in the works

I'm sorry, this ranking of all the seasons of Buffy and Angel combined is just hot nonsense. I mean, is S1 of Angel really the third best season in the entire Buffyverse? I THINK NOT. I'm not sure I could even make an argument for it being the third best season of Angel (though I would agree that it is better than the third season of Angel). And S4 ( Read more... )

I am simultaneously thrilled and terrified about this X-Files reboot. It could all go so, so wrong, but...I want to believe. (Yes, I am at least the one millionth person on the Internet today to make an "I want to believe" reference.)

Ah well, I guess it's to be expected. I don't have anything special to post either, but I couldn't let the day go by without at least noting it ( Read more... )

Over at Mark Watches today, they're discussing Becoming pt. 1. There are always remarks in Mark's posts and in the comment section from the unspoiled, first-time watchers that are amusing, but, maybe because the stakes (hee) are so high in this episode, I found some of the comments today especially noteworthy. Like for example, Mark saying "I ( Read more... )

I don't know if it's because I've been watching so many new shows lately, or if it's just the cycles of the moon or whatever, but I'm in a heavy Buffy nostalgia mood today, which led me to thinking about rewatching episodes. So, here's a question: when you're in the mood to get just a BtVS "fix", not rewatch the entire series or engage in *deep ( Read more... )

It is too quiet today! I need amusing distractions! So, I made a Buffy poll. It's kind of a random, unfocused poll, but I always find clicky boxes to be amusing. Images under the cut!
