LootHunter: Actually, I'm looking forward to it. I kinda liked first three seasons of original - writers had interesting lore and managed to keep balance between demon-fighting and everyday life problems for character. But after season four it became basically cartoon without any consistency. Maybe new show will be better?

Barry_Woodward: David Fury: "As one who's credited with the most teleplays in the BUFFYVERSE (save for Joss himself), I'm dismayed that so many fans are not seeing this news as a thing to rejoice. I can only suspect that it's the term "reboot" that's not sitting well with them. This project is in its infancy, but I can almost guarantee the new series will be a continuation of the original universe, not a "do-over." It can just as easily be called "Daphne the Vampire Slayer" if she doesn't adopt the mantle of "Buffy" as an homage to a legend. The point is JOSS IS OVERSEEING NEW SLAYER STORIES FOR TELEVISION!! The trademark humor, social consciousness, genre-bending will all be there. It won't replace the original. It will expand the saga (and not in a comic-book form). Will any of the characters from the OS appear? Maybe. Who cares? That universe is the best. (Much better than this one.) I can't wait to watch!

Addendum: Some of you are confusing "reboot" for "remake." Reboot just means the machine's starting up again, not like they're going to retell the same stories. Yeesh. C'mon, people."

Barry_Woodward: Monica Owusu-Breen, the showrunner of this new installment in the Buffyverse, sets the record straight:

"For some genre writers it's STAR WARS. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is my STAR WARS. Before I became a writer, I was a fan. For seven seasons, I watched Buffy Summers grow up, find love, kill that love. I watched her fight, and struggle, and slay. There is only one Buffy. One Xander, one Willow, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Tara, Kendra, Faith, Spike, Angel... They can't be replaced. Joss Whedon's brilliant and beautiful series can't be replicated. I wouldn't try to. But here we are, 20 years later... and the world seems a lot scarier. So maybe, it could be time to meet a new Slayer... And that’s all I can say."

Star_Ocean: The new Battlestar Galactica is one of my top ten favorite TV shows.
