There's an article in the Chicago Sun-Times about Sandy Grushow leaving as Fox Television Entertainment Group chairman. It mentions "Buffy."
Grushow made a splash in 2001, selling the 20th-produced WB hit "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to UPN, which came in with more money. Both Grushow and UPN claimed it had nothing to do with the fact that Fox-owned UPN affiliates were weighing whether to renew their agreements with the network. The deal's legacy is that it discouraged networks from buying shows from outside studios.
I know this has been done to death, but ever time I see OMWF and Xander and Anya pester Giles for some way to stop this thing it annoys me. Xander doesn't even look embarrassed.
Xander doesn't even look embarrassed.
Duh, because he didn't do it. I'm sorry, that just makes no sense at all.
Still think he was being gallent and covering for Dawn.
Is that fanwank or canon?
That'd be fan wank.
Canon pretty firmly states it was Xander, and restates it in Selfless.
Pure, unabashed Fanwankâ„¢. But it fits his behavior pattern.
Oh, sure it is. But it's the only way I can deal with (what I see as) a glaring flaw in what is otherwise almost a perfectly done piece. So I'ma stay over here in Egypt where I'm happy.
Xander Summoned Sweet is my personal "demon eggs? Come on!" I feel I'm owed one. I mean, I swallowed Summers blood. (Not literally.)
Honestly, Xander would have copped to it as soon as he heard that people were combusting. I know what the show told us, I just can't believe it.
