And it all starts right away with Cordy magically re-appearing without her memory in Slouching Toward Bethlehem.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
The whole "Jasmine planned it" not-technically-a-retcon bugged me.... It just didn't make sense to me and the explanations seemed utterly hollow.
Preach, Manservant, preach! Whatever the reasons for the screwiness & failings of the Connor storyline -- bad idea from the outset (IMO), difficulties w/ the cast (CC's fall from favor), poor execution of the arc, distractions from Buffy ending/Firefly starting/WB dicking around w/ Angel, [insert your favorite scapegoat here] -- don't give us a half-assed "oh yeah, we had it all planned from the beginning" spiel that prompts one of two reactions: a) you're lying or b) if all that was planned maybe you'd like to reconsider & say you made it up as you went along so we can give up attempts to shoehorn it into a logical framework.

There were a bunch of different show-runners last season too, weren't there?
(Or am I mis-remembering?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Even if it was all planned from the beginning, it still doesn't make sense. I needed to feel the impact of the agency, and of the motivations of the individual steps (still not sure on why we lost the sun).
Planned all along? I'd have been fine with it if THE PLAN HAD MADE SENSE.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Shit. I started it again. And in Buffy, even. Sorry.
Edit: I'm not sure what of S4 is kosher in here. Someone else want to figure out what should be white-fonted?

I think all of S4 is off-limits, including the cast changes. I'm not sure for how long because I don't know if/when it will air in other countries.

S5 is, not S4 by our rules.

Sorry, Plei. I meant S5. I'm just sleepy and overwhelmed and not much with the thinking clearliness.

'sokay.
Trying to keep track of multiple place spoiler cutoffs is crazy-making. (I *think* S3 AtS and S6 BtVS are okay now on BBF... I think.)

I totally do not understand the BBF rules at all. I mean, i know people get yelled at a lot for violating them, but their cut-off dates seem kind of random to me.
(And aren't you supposed to be a mod of sorts on there? Scary that the *moderators* aren't sure.)
