On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Film and TV discussion

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

xposting CaBil's message in Jossverse because the implications might want to be discussed here.

Buffy Returns To Comics November 10, 2005 Joss Whedon has revealed that he will script the first four issues of a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer series for Dark Horse, and oversee subsequent issues. The book will take place after the end of Buffy and Angel, and as he put it in a post on Whedonesque.com, "be canon in the Buffy world." Whedon's story arc will place Buffy living in Italy with The Immortal.

Whedon also said that he's continuing to try to develop a Spike movie, but had no specific dates set.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm afraid my main reaction to that news is that I want closed canon, dammit! Closed!

I might feel differently if I were a comics person, of course.

Oh, I think your reaction is what I've heard most often among the Buffistas. I'm pretty sure it's the majority opinion (here at least - maybe in LJ-land).

Personally, I'm happy to see it go forward.

I'm happy to see it go forward too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Feh.

I'm all for continuing canon, but that storyline left me pretty bitter and cranky. No desire to see more of it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The time for closed canon would have been that smile at the end of "Chosen." I'm quite fine with something canonical being written so that the spinning wig from "The Girl in Question" isn't our last glimpse of Buffy.

If I only had a brain...

What Jess Said.

I think a lot of people disliked that story because we really didn't see it from Buffy's perspective, but rather from her two jealous exes. I think it could repair a little damage if we actually got Buffy's experience there.

Besides, maybe we could see eye-patch Indiana!Xander in Africa too.

You're assuming that there's any reason to trust what J WeeWee will be doing in the comic.

I don't think there is.

I also would like the canon to remain closed, not because I didn't want more stories, but because I'd like there to be as little tainting as possible, and the end arc of AtS was already more than I'd like.

So you don't trust Joss anymore? (Or...never trusted Joss?)
