Pretty much. and also things that afaik were not even theirs to begin with!
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐

ChickletLARP
A disney genderswap TV SERIES?
ChickletLARP
OMg, yes please. (sucker for gender bender stories)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
The revival I am MOST baffled by is mr Mom sequel
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
(though i will admit some "...really?" re northern exposure)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
1. it's a tv show, apparently
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and 2. it's going to be on...vudu
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and also 3. "The new series will be a continuation of the movie with baby Megan as a an adult going back into the work force (like her mom in the original) while her husband takes over parenting duties."
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
oh god, add the sopranos
Haunt
Wow
Haunt
Why the no for Mad About You? Because you hated the show or loved it?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Haunt
: I didn't like mad about you
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I didn't like...hate it or anything. I just found it boring
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
that might be different if I watched it now, idk.
Haunt
Ahh, I really liked it, but I also can't say I remember it well. If it ever went into syndication I didn't catch it
Haunt
I wonder how many of these are original cast things and how many are totally new casts with the same premise or in the same world
TheHourMorgana
Like with Deadwood last I knew it was a tying up loose ends kind of thing, it had been in the works for ages.
Haunt
I think I kind of prefer it when things are like Star Wars where the old cast is there, but you're really focusing on new blood. (See also Girl Meets World as a follow up to Boy Meets World. That felt well done!)
Haunt
I might like Murphy Brown better if she was more like a mentor to a new group of journalists or something. idk Less rehash and more updating
Haunt
Like Facts of LIfe...are we seeing them as adult friends? Is it just an all new group of kids in a boarding school? Are the new cast being the Mrs Garett of new students?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Most of these are the same cast, some are new cast but same characters (see mr mom and sopranos which is a prequel about Tony's parents)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Some are reboots like roswell and party of five
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
The buffy one is same universe new cadt, new slayer. I assume new title.
Just Rakath
"We're throwing all the comic canon under the Bus" the Series?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Bewitched is same universe new witch. A single mom.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Just Rakath
: i have no idea re comic canon, but... Probably?
Just Rakath
It got real silly.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Honestly, it would probably be better ti ignore the comics for a tv show.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
No i mean idk if they'll ignore it. I would, tbh.
Just Rakath
I absolutely would.
Just Rakath
Like, there's a lot of weird, including Buffy gaining flying brick style superpowers, and Dawn became a Centaur for a while.
Just Rakath
But it all pales in comparison to Xander/Dawn being a thing.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
It'd be a bit if a hassle to try to get an average viewer to read 100+ issues of a comic
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Ewwwww
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
GIven Joss isn't even the one writing/showrunning, it'd probably be a hassle for the woman who IS doing it too. Especially if they aren't even bringing anyone back.
Just Rakath
I'm guessing they just -vague handwave- what happened between the two series.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Probably.
Just Rakath
Cause the end of S7 does not lead for a good 'wake up go to school save the world' premise anyway.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
lol n
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
also, idek who'd be AVAILABLE to be in the revival
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
xander, i guess
Just Rakath
Best call would probably be Dawn.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
The New Buffy Showrunner Addresses Reboot Concerns: ...
this is really all we know atm
Haunt
I think Nicholas Brendon has been in a bad place. Addiction and arrests and such.
Haunt
So I'll guess...not him.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
n, probably not.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
honestly, probably not any of them.
Just Rakath
Maybe a guest spot SMG appearance somewhere in S1. But that'd be all I expect.
Haunt
Yeah. I mean, maybe a guest appearance someday
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
maybe, though i mean
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
if there's a new slayer and just ONE, i have to imagine that buffy isn't...alive
Just Rakath
Of the main cast, if any were to return, it'd be Dawn (playing some variation of Watcher).
Haunt
Oh, are they undoing the everyone who can be is?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
they haven't said, but I would
Just Rakath
...You say being alive like that's stopped anyone from appearing in Buffy after they died.
Haunt
I just assumed the show was focusing on one of them
Haunt
But not that the others were no longer slayers
Just Rakath
The issue with 'a world full of potential slayers' is it dampens the urban fantasy 'wake up go to school save the world in secret' thing.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I honestly can't imagine that a tv show where everyone who can be a slayer is a slayer would be that great, but idk.
Haunt
And even if it was that she only rose because Buffy died you know SMG would just show up like "oh, yeah, I've died 3 times now. Long story."
Just Rakath
Which creates a massive hurdle for ease of entry.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Also, if Fray is canon and the fact that her axe exists in the tv show would seem to indicate she is
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
then that would seem to indicate that at some point the 'a ton of slayers are a thing' stopped
Haunt
It's...a canon! lol, hard to say if it will be part of the new show's future canon
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
IT'd depend on the showrunner who is being WEIRDLY silent
Just Rakath
Although, in defense of Buffy being alive, Buffy dying never makes Slayers anymore.
Haunt
Maybe it's just the people who were alive during the spell who became slayers
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
it'd probably be a lot easier on her to just have ONE slayer
Haunt
And when ALL of them die a new one is chosen
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
maybe.
Just Rakath
Cause she died and Kendra was chosen, then Kendra lead to Faith, but no new Slayer happened after Buffy died in S5.
Haunt
Oh yeah
Haunt
So...Faith is the one who has to die?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
well
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
that we know of anyway
Haunt
True
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
it's not like the watchers would be looking for that
Haunt
It's not like there is one in every generation ... AND SHE HAS TO GO LIVE IN SUNNYDALE, TAKE SUNSCREEN AND GET USED TO WALKING EVERYWHERE!
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
since they were all "we need to murder faith now to get a new one"
Just Rakath
...Yes they would, they so would, they stalk teenage girls in high schools.
Just Rakath
They legit found two new slayers and were just like 'well this is new' and just kinda... were stuffy and british over it.
Haunt
Didn't they kill off the watchers?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I am not clear on if they did or didn't.
Just Rakath
That was waaaaaaay after Buffy died the second time.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
....geez google, I guess i need to be specific in what kIND of watcher I'm googling
Haunt
LOL
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
"What do you want? Angels? COmics? Highlander? What?"
Just Rakath
S7 started with the First slaughtering the Watchers and Potentials.
Haunt
I hate when I google something and it doesn't just read my mind. Like I googled 3 Musketeers because I couldn't remember what was in the candy bar and it had the AUDACITY to not intuitively understand I was asking about chocolate, not the guys with swords.
Just Rakath
At the end of the series the only Watchers left are Giles, Wesley, and Dawn.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I think there were others, I seem to recall that.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
ONE SEC
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
"three members of the Watchers' Council have been shown to have survived the First's attacks: Rupert Giles; an acquaintance to him named Robson who survived a Bringer attack; and Roger Wyndham-Pryce"
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
who i SWEAR I thought WAS dead but apparently not
Just Rakath
Wesley's dad may or may not be dead, but the guy who was in Angel was definitely a Robot.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
y, that i remember.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
"Melaka Fray is approached by her assigned Watcher, but rather than assist or train her, he immolates himself in front of her."
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
well that's SUPER helpful thanks dude
Haunt
Well...that's sure a thing. (I say like I didn't read Fray...I just don't remember Fray)
Just Rakath
(I read some and remember none of it.)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I vaguely remember parts
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I remember she had a sister and a twin and for some reason the twin brother had her slayer memories
Haunt
I mean, it would not surprise me terribly if enough like...apprentices or former watchers or lovers of watchers or some such thing survived and continued the practice forward so it rebuilt. I just imagine it's much smaller and less powerful
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
a thing i recall never being a thing on the show
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
also, I always wanted for some reason the watchers on highlander and the watchers on buffy to be the same group
Just Rakath
The comics spell out that they trained new Watchers. But that's the comics so...
Haunt
Slayer memories? Or a sibling having them too?
Just Rakath
Dawn was in training to be a Watcher most of S7 after she was confirmed not a slayer.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
slayer memories. I remember them being a thing in the mOVIE. maybe in season 1?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
ok, yep, wesley's dad's alive
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
"Unlike his like-minded colleague Quentin Travers, Wyndam-Pryce was one of the few Watchers that survived the bombing of the Council's headquarters."
Haunt
Ah...yeah, well, there were slayer dreams which weren't...anything. But did once connect her to the first slayer or was that a ritual?
Haunt
Death is your gift
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
that was a ritual i...think?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
maybe
Just Rakath
And she spent all of S7 having flashbacks to every potential dying in S7.
Just Rakath
We got to see so many cool potential characters just get murdered horribly.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
...ok, see, I didn't even realize those were her FLASHING BACK I just assumed they were showing us scenes of those characters
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
good job season 7
Just Rakath
They were weird Slayer dreams.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
dear show: sigh
Haunt
Just be glad there was no cheese. (There might have been cheese.)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I used to have a novelisation of season 7 and it was terrible
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and weirdly thick
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
SEVEN HUNDRED PAGES
Haunt
wow
Haunt
Did you have a novelization of all the seasons?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
n, I think they only did certain eps and then for some reason aLL season 7
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
but i might be wrong
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
https://www.amazon.com/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Nancy-Ho...
Just Rakath
But yeah, if they use anyone, Dawn as a quirky overly excitable Watcher would be the only call I'd make for the new show. But it'd just make more sense to go 'this is a Slayer story, deal with it.' and nobody is there.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
...oh god, it just occured to me
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
they'll probably use andrew
Just Rakath
...Not sure if Want.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
also unsure
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
honestly, i'd rather a new watcher
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I hope also that they don't keep her in one location. having her go from place to place might be more interesting
Just Rakath
It'd be neat if their watcher was some neat handyman ala Leo from Charmed as a counterpoint to Charmed (2018) giving us a stuffy dead Brit as their White Lighter.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
It would!
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I know they, like charmed, are going for diverse casting
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
like the new charmed i mean
Haunt
lol, like the old charm. Sometimes they cast a redhead.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
hahahahaha
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
the person working on it also works midnight texas, which is great
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
(hilariously, she also worked on the original charmed)
Haunt
hehe
