Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

We could do our Buffista version of seeing how many people can be stuffed into a Volkswagen at one time. Except substitute "vibrating bed" for "Volkswagen."

Actually I think they're looking for a new thread title for Bitches. Just a thought.

"what's left when you take biology and sociology out of the picture?" "An autistic hermaphodite." -Allyson

Y'know, just watched the first 2 eps of season 7 on FX today. I'd seen a few minutes of Beneath You, but I'd never seen Lessons. P'raps its just knowing what a super-size bag of ass the Potentials would turn out to be, but whyinhell didn't they keep Dawn's pals around? I would have liked seeing them develop a bit more, and there's only 2 of 'em. How much worse could it have been? I really wouldn't have minded a Scooby-ettes plotline running through the season at all.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hoo Boy, Judging from the hate against the concept that was pouring out of every crevice, I'd say the scooby-ettes would have been at least as scorned as the potentials.

"God...my brilliance is now becoming a bit of a burden...get back to me." Dr. Cox - Scrubs

In the few seconds they were around everyone hated them. Everyone was all like "that guy's no Xander" and "nerdy Willow would have still kicked that girls ass! Even upon just hearing about the concept of the Scrappy gang during the summer before S7 spoilers many disliked the idea. I think this may have caused Joss and co. to rethink the whole next generation thing...or maybe it was just intended for them to be a one episode thing.

IIRC Dawn's friends were originally going to be next gen Scoobies, 'Scrappies' :). I believe it got ditched (along with many, many other things) for lack of time.

I recall a pretty strong "GET. THEM. OFF. My. SCREEN. NOW!!!" sentiment from fandom that might have spooked Marti and Joss off the Scrappy Gang idea.

Sorry about the lack of 8x4 review, Screencaps came first.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Shame. I kind of liked them.

Lot better than I ever liked the potentials.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I heard it was the suits at Fox who were underwhelmed by a "Scoobies: The Next Generation" spinoff rather than any fan reaction that killed those two off.
