What is this I don't even

[next_to_normal]

All right, I figure just about everyone has seen the news by now (and in case you haven't, read it and weep), but I don't want to grumble alone, so come join me! Who wants to go first?

It is ironic to me that, at this point, I don't think I actually want Joss anywhere near any sort of TV/movie continuation, given what he's chosen to do with the comics. But I still think Buffy with Joss is better than Buffy without Joss. Just... leave it the hell alone, won't you? Let us enjoy what we have without something new coming along to ruin the franchise more than it already is.

ETA: And we have responses from Joss and David Boreanaz.

I'm not too hot on the idea. It will not be as good as the original, and it's hard to imagine others playing the roles when it hasn't been that long. They tried to remake Dark Shadows and that tanked (we'll see how the movie version does though) but Hawaii Five-O is doing OK. I just can't imagine the new writers making the show as intelligent as it was. They will probably just go for the vampire/love angle. Hmm, sounds like a show that's on right now...

Well, the only character who will be recast is Buffy, since they don't have the rights to anyone who originated on the TV show. But still, I'm not looking forward to a reboot with a new Buffy and a whole bunch of original characters. And I expect it will attempt to draw in the Twilight audience, which... is never a good thing.
