Hey, it's not my fault that fandom nomenclature had a built-in porny pun.

Fray the series?
Wow I hope so. But though Tim would be great, I think Joss would do a good job with it too.

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.
I have a question.
In Fray, it shows a blond and says she was the last called slayer and after her fight all demons and magic disappeared.
Problem there is, the Slayer line ran through Faith. At least before they called all the other slayers. It ran through Faith the momment she was called.
So it could not be Buffy who had the last fight.
Right?

Well, sure, cause Jack? Could totally kick Aaron's ass.
It'd be fun to watch, though.

Being from outside N. America, the only way I could get a hold of Wonderfalls in any form was by reading the scripts that were posted online. I can clearly remember sitting in my cubicle and trying desperately to muffle what would be uproarious laughter if I had not been in my office at that time.
I can honestly say that I have never laughed and enjoyed any series' script so much. IMHO, no sitcom at that time even came close to the wonderfulness of Wonderfalls.
Although I had to wait for almost a year to see the actual series & buy the DVD, the writing for Wonderfalls was so beautiful that I felt the series come alive for me (as well as all the characters) even though I had never seen even a single episode of the show. Which is pretty remarkable when you think about it as Wonderfalls was not a novel but was meant for TV which is a visual medium.
As a side note, how do you know when you've got too much of Tim Minear on the brain?
When you're hurriedly glancing through the paper before rushing off to work in the morning and see an article titled "An Evening With Tim" and shout out loud "OMG, I can't believe Tim's in Malaysia! Where is this taking place?" before you realise that the article is actually speaking of some singer from New Zealand and am incredibly depressed throughout the day.

I have had this same problem, only on the opposite side of the world. I think that the odds of our Tim showing up in Juneau are just about as remote, though not impossible.

So it could not be Buffy who had the last fight.
Right?
The narrator's info could easily have been muddled after 500 years. It might actually be Buffy's choice to activate all those potentials that depleted the Slayer line for centuries, while hundreds of active Slayers at once would serve quite handily to wipe malevolent demonkind off the face of the earth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, cool theory, Matt.
