"Slayers will react differently. Rogue Slayers could easily lead to a civil war -- there would likely be more than one Faith. And it'll take time (assuming it's even possible) to find all the new Slayers."
I've fanwanked on this one before, Mr. Fred. I think we may be due, in one way or another, for the Slayers to start fighting each other. That brings with it a Highlander dynamic.
I've extended the theory to conclude that the reason that Melaka Fray is the "lone" slayer in the "Fray" comic is because the Slayers killed off both demons and other Slayers. I think what Buffy S7 did well was to project the kind of instability involved when so many egos (Slayers, potentials) collide.
My friend just told me she saw an ad on WB that they are going to show Buffy on Sundays from the beginning, is this true?
quite possibly. someone else mentioned the same thing upthread, I think.
Found this article at Whedonesque. Most Annoying Fans Award
It's poorly written, and misses an opportunity for good snark. Paraphrasing, it claims, "You should see the letters we get, but we're actually not going to give examples. Just believe us."
Honey, I can lend you crazy!mail to back up your claims.

Matt mentioned that he has seen those ads, over in the Angel thread. I haven't seen them yet, even though I've been taping the WB this past month. I can't find any mention of it on the WB's web site.

Maybe it's at the discretion of local affiliates?

Right on. I think they missed out by going with the "these folks are crazy, we snicker here alot" motif rather than a full-blown expose, because even though most of us have an idea of just how crazy, and a couple folks here have a stunningly clear picture of just how crazy, it still would have been pretty hilarious and frightening.
That article struggles to find a point and at times even make sense. I certainly wouldn't have put my name at the top of the article. Unless it was to say "I did not write this."
it still would have been pretty hilarious and frightening.
True. But you know? I'm getting so frelling tired of the "Internet television fans are crazy!" schtick. Sure they are! Five percent of any given fandom is completely over the bend.
But so are five percent of the fans of the Oakland Raiders (who paint their faces and wear pirate clothing to games), and Sherlock Holmes fans, and Civil War re-enacters, and wine enthusiasts, and fashionistas.
And pot shots at media fans are so easy. I find it just a little hypocritical of Teevee.org for them to mock the bulk of their readership that way, because who exactly do they think is reading those columns? It's done for effect.
