Well I thought the premise of the original Buffy movie sounded great, but that turned out to be a bit disappointing. And a lot of people (not me of course :) ) took a while to catch on to how good Buffy the TV series was because they were put off by the concept. Whedon is surprisingly forward about blaming the failure of projects he has been involved in on meddling incompetents. He had some nasty things to say about Donald Sutherland in the original Buffy movie for example. But given how successful he has been when he has full control, he might be justified. Which is another reason it will be interesting to see how good 'Firefly' turns out to be. > > Reggie Bautista -- who can't wait to see how this season turns out on either > show Here in the UK Buffy and Angel are shown from 8pm-10pm on Thursday, with the last eps at the end of this month. I thought Angel was better over all this season, but Buffy seems to be building to a strong ending after being in the doldrums for a stretch. -- William T Goodall [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk
