Er. You guys do realize Spike/Angel's been canon since Season 5 of Angel, right? It was very heavily implied in at least two episodes and Joss all but confirmed it on one of the S5 DVD commentaries.

This is nothing new, at all. Sadly, neither is the homophobia.

@KarmaChameleon: implied? i thought those episodes were fairly explicit. although i am not sure if it was implied that Straight Man turned Evil equates to Gay Vampire sex.

But I am quite ok with David B. and James M. snogging, however we get there.

Ehr... he does. There's Dollhouse and Cabin in the Woods. More Dr. Horrible on the way as well. Let the guy have some fun. The numbers don't lie, people still like the Buffyverse.

@Kai Zastrutzki: There's only so much you can "go over" the material for a world already clearly fleshed out and already written before it's just a little bit wanky. I didn't mind it when he did it with Firefly, claiming that he had a whole bunch of material that he wanted to get out. But then he sort of.... never really got it out. He put out one half-assed trilogy a couple of years ago, then frigged off, leaving a whole bunch of people pissed off that no story every really got told.

And now he's going over Buffy AGAIN, Buffy which had a bazillion seasons to tell the whole story, but somehow it wasn't told EXACTLY RIGHT so Whedon has to do it again?

And I'm glad he's writing Dollhouse, but it kind of sucks. Hard.

Hairy guys kissing. Get the fuck over it. You know what else they do? They stick their HAIRY WANGS into each other's HAIRY BUTTS. And it's HOT.

Now go slobber over some greased-up teen tits now, and remember that it's ME that's gross, not you.

"I'm not racist, I just hate it when they TALK all black." Right, cupcake. You don't hate gay people. You just hate their gayness.

That priest looks like Light Yagami, which is causing all kinds of crazy crossover shenanigans in my head.

@justanotherblue: Even crazier, the actual character of the priest (Caleb) is played by Nathan Fillion in the show.

Captain Mal as Light?!

Does anyone think Buffy has become the weakest and least interesting part of this universe?

I think they should kill Buffy.

How about it just turns out that she has always been dead since the end of Season 5?

And Willow's spell didn't really bring back Buffy, but some amalgamation based on all of their memories? And then the Buffy amalgamation disappears because, um, they don't believe in her or something.

I think that title belongs to Dawn. She was so much cooler when she was the mystery.

@octalass: That's why it would be so symmetrical. Dawn never existed and then came to life in the past, Buffy was dead but continued to exist in the future.

Something like that. It fits in the genetic soup of the show, I think. But Dawn was only around for a short while before Buffy "died." You could make some argument that there isn't room for both of them in the universe.

That last panel is pure awesome. The sound effects are beyond silly.

Joss is totally pandering to the audience, and this is why they love him.
