Buffy Reboot
Notice how I didn't mention the "without Joss" bit. Because that's irrelevant. I actually find the whole idea of rebooting Buffy now completely offensive on multiple levels. For one, the series ended in 2003 - you don't reboot something that recent, unless it sucked hard the first time around (see: the original Buffy movie, The Hulk). Or you're a greedy piece of trash that decided, "Oh, vampires are popular again!"

Buffy was a fantastic and influential show. Instead of taking a close look at why that was, some greedy pieces of trash decide to ignore its significance and will in all likelihood strip Buffy of whatever made it special, tarnishing the franchise's name in the process. God damn, I can't wait for Hollywood to die; television and film can be so much more. Because coming up with an original thought or hiring quality writers and actors is too hard.

And it's also offensive because Buffy is technically still going. In comic form. But, you know, comics don't count as an art form or even entertainment, silly. Let's just shit on the comics (one of the few big titles high on strong female characters and low on cheesecake), and reboot a story that's still going. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Hopefully, this idea gets no where and dies a quiet death. If there is a Buffy reboot, no, I don't have to watch it. But I still find it wildly offensive. I would have been open to something along the lines of an original vampire slayer, in a different time period. But, no, let's take the laziest, money-grubbing path and expect everyone to like it.

From my post on sonjadenise, where I also rant a bit about the Jon & Kate melodrama, Entertainment Weekly general fail about Nurse Jackie and Adam Lambert.

P.S. Was already going to check out Nurse Jackie for Edie Falco. Now that I know what it's about...I have a hard time not seeing myself writing a crossover with House. Oh my god.
