Buffy: Slayer of the Vampyrs.

Never saw any of them, but will start a rumour that Spike and Angel are merged into one person in the reboot who is James Marsters down one side of his body and David Boreanaz down the other side.
 
I don't know much about her, but I love the way they revealed it and the fact that unlike some other projects I could mention *cough* COMMUNITY *cough* this thing seems to actually be happening at pace. SMG and Alyson on daytime TV the other day together as well, Willow is all but guaranteed to be back, and I expect ASH to be a certainty as well. I wonder how long until filming starts.

I am still wary of this thing being Picard levels bad, but I'm just choosing to be hopeful and wish it the best because the Buffyverse is just plain fun when done right and I hope this is done right.
 
I just randomly googled "what age was Giles in Buffy" and it says ASH was 43 in season 1. Existential crisis time!

(You should watch Skeleton Crew it's good.)
 
I guess I get why they need a young girl again, but I would have been happy just watching the original cast have wacky new adventures.

I was a lot younger when the first show was on, now it's a bit creepy for a man my age is want to watch a 17 year old.

Well then just focus on Buffy. Still looks good for her age and not as creepy.
 
Also the new girl is 15 so they're actually casting someone the age of the character for once. SMG was 19 playing 16 in season 1. I'm guessing we'll see the new girl get her Slayer powers so they want someone even younger just to get across that the vampire slayer is actually really young and it's pretty fucked up she has to save the world.

I do hope Dushku appears but I think she might have quit acting?
 
If it's a hit, and they want to do multiple seasons it's probably wise given how Prestige TV is made these days. There will be 2-year gaps and shit, so casting younger negates that a bit. Although at 15 I imagine there are strict labour rules so she won't be doing the 20-hour days SMG was doing or has Trump got rid of the child labour laws now? That said, Buffy is the show that expected us to accept Nicholas Brendon and Charisma Carpenter as high school kids, so yeah.

There's no reason Buffy would need two year gaps and I hope they're not aiming for it to be "prestige tv." Like it would be nice to have a higher budget than the nineties and make it look better, sure, but it doesn't need a House Of The Dragon budget or anything. Let it still look a bit camp and silly, otherwise it isn't really Buffy IMHO!

Charisma being literally 27 in season 1 is crazy. I remember when shen went to Angel it felt like they aged her up a few years even though Cordy would have been 18 in season 1 of that.
