Buffy the Vampire Slayer

It has a specific meaning though. Sequels aren't reboots.
It does, but nobody uses it in the right way anymore. Now everything that gets revived gets referred to as a reboot. It’s the cool media term, remake and sequel are considered not as sexy. It’s lazy journalism which parrots what the publicity puts out.

In any case, the new Buffy as planned now, takes place in the original Buffyverse and centers on the current Slayer. That makes it a sequel to the original.
 
Just did a couple. Blood Ties, from season five, where everyone discovers who Dawn is.

Then episode 617, the best of all 142.

No gods or monsters ... just three pathetic little men who like playing with toys.

I remember introducing J to Buffy at around the same age.

Put off the college seasons till puberty, though.

Still waiting here, mine isn't capable of shutting up for long enough yet
 
... and done.

Once again, I am left feeling it might be the best thing ever made. The perfect piece of entertainment! So funny and poignant, great songs and it even makes perfect sense why the plot is being advanced entirely in musical numbers.

I want the feeling back!
 
It's still "Hush" for me. It's the episode which made me a convert, after having watched a few Buffy episodes and not getting it.

I guess the remakasequelboot is off?
No news in a couple of years. It was to be a straight continuation with new lead characters, which would have left the door open for the original characters to make appearances. Would have loved to see that. Josh Whedon seems to be working on something else now. He appears to have kept a low profile since the Justice League movie/debacle.
 
Interesting question: what do you call a continuation? It’s not Buffy any more but calling it something else destroys the IP benefit.

It was to take place in the same universe, just in the present with a new slayer, so call it a sequel or a spin-off if you like. I'm not sure it would have had Buffy in the title. They did the same with Dallas.
