1. No network and no airdate means I'll believe it when I see it. We've been here before, people.
2. So much for Joss moving on to new things, I guess.
3. If it does to the comics what JJ Abrams did to the Star Wars EU, I'll be over here in the corner practicing my best smirk.
4. It's a different show. There are plenty of new shows I don't watch, and there's plenty of Buffy fanfic I don't read. There's some I do. If it's good, it's good. If not, there's no reason to watch.
5. I kinda like the idea of a new generation (not that Monica Owusu-Breen is completely new to the business or anything) getting to do their take on Buffy. That's part of the point of the "Chosen" spell, after all. I'm sure there were horror fans in the 50s grumbling that my Dracula is Bela Lugosi, who's this British twerp? That said, SMG's are some might big tiny shoes to fill, and I don't envy the actress who gets the job.
Anyway, I'm halfway tempted to do something with this old sketch for a Buffy reboot that I wrote one of the other many, many times this was discussed.
