I think he was watching it wrong. I don't recall thinking that was a problem in any season of Buffy, and I was definitely aware of similar issues at the time, like the lead character on Dark Angel going into heats or a teacher on Smallville who looked and acted like she stepped out of a Van Halen video.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

He didn't regard it as a problem...

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Sounds like the new Buffy is going to be about a different Slayer rather than a reboot. [link]

Sounds like they had to pitch one thing to the studio execs, and a different thing to the fans.

I'm definitely happy that it's not a true reboot, though I wonder how much, if any, they'll refer to the old show (or if this truly ends up set in the same universe, which doesn't seem to be confirmed one way or another, just that they won't be recreating the old Scooby Gang.)

I'm more than willing to watch the adventures of a new Slayer and new supporting characters in the Buffyverse. Much better than a reboot/re-imagining this soon.
