So far I think It shows some promise as far as a new take on the franchise goes.

James Marsters will reprise Torchwood's Captain John in new Big Finish spin-off audio drama.

My health both mentally and physically is not so great these days, and so I doubt I could contribute, but are there enough folks still out there that would make this viable?

Buffy Reboot Will Follow New Slayer, Showrunner Confirms
The black actress lead will be a new Slayer character

By Grant Hermanns ON July 26, 2018Buffy reboot will follow new slayer, showrunner confirms

It was officially announced last week that the hit WB series Buffy the Vampire Slayer is getting the reboot treatment at Fox with a black actress leading the series! Fan reaction as mixed at first as it was initially seen as though Sarah Michelle Gellar’s portrayal would be replaced. However, new showrunner Monica Owusu-Breen (Alias) has just confirmed that the new series will not be replacing Gellar in the titular role, but rather will focus on a new slayer.

“For some genre writers it’s Star Wars. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my Star Wars,” Owusu-Breen wrote in a tweet. “Before I became a writer, I was a fan. For seven seasons, I watched Buffy Summers grow up, find love, kill that love. I watched her fight and struggle and slay. There is only ONE Buffy. One Xander, one Willow, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Tara, Kendra, Faith, Spike, Angel…They can’t be replaced. Joss Whedon’s brilliant and beautiful series can’t be replicated. I wouldn’t try to. But here we are, twenty years later…And the world seems a lot scarier. So maybe, it could be time to meet a new Slayer…And that’s all I can say.”

Owusu-Breen’s previous credits in the TV world include the J.J. Abrams espionage thriller Alias, mystery-drama Lost and sci-fi drama Fringe, as well as the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters and Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The reboot’s network is currently unknown, given that the original series ran on The WB and UPN, both of which are now defunct, and that the rights to the franchise are owned by 20th Century Fox.

A follow-up to the Whedon-penned Buffy the Vampire Slayer feature film, the Buffy TV series ran from 1997 to 2003 for seven seasons. The series starred Sarah Michelle Gellar in the title role alongside Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Stewart Head, David Boreanaz, Seth Green, James Marsters, Emma Caulfield, Michelle Trachtenberg, Amber Benson, and Kristine Sutherland. Since its conclusion, the series has continued in comic book form, with some of the characters continuing their journey in the Angel spin-off series. There was previously a feature film reboot of the property in development at Warner Bros., but it failed to materialize.

So, Whedon has ended the Spike/Buffy relationship off camera so to speak, as well as given Dawn and Xander a kid and paired Angel off with Illyria. The artwork is horrible and the writing comes across as bad fanfic to me. A couple of panels under the cut...( Read more... )

I found this very interesting, especially as I unconsciously missed a couple of visual pointers. (Spoilers season 1 only)

JM was live tweeting during the final......





I do hope he will be back next year as Victor. I'm hoping this 'healing' gag is not just an excuse to change actors on us. :(

This one did make me laugh. Shot against green screen in his living room check out this kids attention to detail though when it comes to the lighting for each scene. Very well done especially when you realise he only had one red Starfleet outfit and so had to change it into a yellow one for Data in post, to say nothing of his eyes. Read his notes on Youtube and whilst you're at it check out his other music vids. He has some serious talent there.
