:yahoo:
This'll be the one where it turns out Willow isn't gay, right? So there'll be no need for Tara or the other ugly bird from season 7 :yahoo: :ph43r: :p
It'll be brilliant, of course :thumbsup:
Unless Spike's in it <_<
:lol:

Spike is now "the gay one" in this "reimagining" (tm NewBSGinc) and will seduce Xander.
Hippy - November 9, 2007 02:14 PM (GMT)
:lol:
Yup - rumours also suggest Spike will be a cross-dresser with a penchant for pink power suits whilst Angel has been replaced by an english bricklayer named 'Bob' :o

And when he loses his soul he's called Bobbus? Scary :fear:

Yep -they're already talking about a more adult orientated spin-off:-
"When Bobbus.....Uncut!"

I thought I was not taking the right drugs for a moment or not enough of them.
After doing a google I think I at least understand what the 'joke' is if that is the right word.
Slightly seriously if they ever did a reimagining of Buffy like BSG the obvious problem would be if they ripped out the camp-in-a-good-way dry-witted-post-modernism aspect they would be ripping out the heart of the show. Obviously BSG massively improved with the injection of seriousness and ruthless slaying of the camper aspects of the original. I suppose that is the difference between fantasy and science fiction. sk

We obviously need space for Cult series that are so Classic they predate colour Tv (at least in my parents' house).
No one else out there remember the best Viking cartoon of all time? From the same team who brought us the jollity of Captain Pugwash, etc?
Talk to me, fellow venerable ones :tear:

A Buffyverse without Tara :o NO! Steve how could you even think such a thing! Unless after taking over as from Nick as Xander Tara realising Willow wasn't interested turns to me for comfort. :naughty:
What's wrong with Spike?
I read the headline and for a split second it might be real until saw the image :lol: but it still isn't daft as a the rumour that former Neighbours actress Holly Valance was set to replace Sarah Michelle Gellar in Buffy season 8! :lol: This did the rounds just after then end of season 7 unsurprisingly when ask about Joss simply replied Holly who? :lol: Seriously though no one else could play part of Buffy other then Sarah!

It was in COLOUR! You've made my weekend....big thank you!
Nogbad the Bad must've been my very first brroding anti-hero. Went off Niggin a bit when he got the girl.... some things never change.
(And don't get me started on the Singing Ringing Tree- it's way back there, like Niggin, with early childhood things like the Discovery of Chocolate.)

I think an entire reworking of the show with the cast of Baywatch would work. But The Hoff would have to be Angel (his acting is marginally better than Boreanaz, so that may be a problem :ponder: ). Pammy would be an excellent Buffy, and she'd bounce straight back up if she fell over. Not sure about where to cast Carmen Electra, though. She's not quite Willowy enough but she might make a good Cordelia. The amount of make-up would be about the same :ponder:

I've taken care never to watch Baywatch, so know nothing about the named persons' acting, other than singing and beachwear-filling talents.
I think that all that is needed to bring the original cast to their senses would be to remake Welcome to the Hellmouth with a volunteer cast from Last of the Summer Wine. That Auntie Wainwright can kick ass mightily, and with his secret identity as Gromit's Wallace, Peter Sallis has all the credentials for a more mature Angel...
Plus, respectable Yorkshire weather; what's not to like?

Now this is the kind of thinking I like. But why not go further and bring other classic British comedy into it? Let's have the members of Dad's Army as The Initiative, Basil Fawlty as the Mayor, and Patsy Stone as Glory. Then they could throw in Delboy, Rodney and Uncle Albert as the three geeks, and Nora Batty as Tara. The similarities are astounding :o :thumbsup:

great minds thinking much alike....
then the next time the original cast start bleating on about being 'too old' to reunite(as by and large 'my exhausting big screen career' isn't the promising excuse they used to think it might turn into... we'll say 'watch and learn, little Americans...'
You forgot Gromit as Oz :thumbsup:
