Jennpurr,

Last week, Anne-Lise suggested that the Big Bad this year would be a
shapeshifter, which would explain the "reappearance" of dead foes like
the Master and Glory (seems to me that this'll get old VERY quickly). I
don't know if this is speculation or a spoiler, because she didn't cite
a source for the theory.

And I would await Faith's reappearance with bated breath, except that
I'm all out of breath from waiting all last year for her appearance on
"Angel", so...

The remainder of this post consists of hard-core Joss/Marti bashing!

***WARNING******

Have to love the article, though. Glad Joss feels that despite
"[holding] a few notes for too long" (i.e., an entire season's worth of
slow, sludgy, soap opera, stupid, depressing crap, which went over
poorly not because IT WAS CRAP, but because the audience isn't "mature"
enough to accept "darkness"), last season accomplished it's mission, by
making the entire audience vomit and want to kill him.

Er, no, wait, the season accomplished its mission by making Buffy "face
the inner demons that accompany maturity".

Because, you know, Buffy wasn't mature before. Chosen One fighting to
save the world? Doesn't count. Sent her first love to HELL to spend
eternity being tortured because she had to save the world? A mere
trifle. Died, TWICE, to save the world? Just teen spunk, she wasn't
really MATURE.

Joss: "Damn right, she wasn't mature! She wasn't a mommy! Mommies are
the best thing ever! No girl should ever want to be anything but a
mommy! Having a job is crap! Who cares about some stupid job like
being the Chosen One, if it makes you a bad mommy? Bad Buffy, working
and having sex and ignoring sweet, Shiny, Dawn! Mommies are wonderful!
Mommies are what women are here to be! But then Mommy dies and you have
to go to some horrible school in yucky England where the food sucks and
they make fun of you for being American! I HATE YOU, DADDY!!!!! I miss
you, Mommy!!!!!" (curls up in fetal position, sobbing helplessly)

(Marti Noxon enters.)

Marti: There, there, Jossie. I'm a mommy now, and I won't leave my
baby. Especially not to become a sick, twisted dyke and have sex with
other women and ignore my poor, poor baby! Dykes are evil!!! They
should die, or go crazy, and then be saved by some big strong
Episcopalian man!!!! I HATE YOU, MOMMY, YOU AND YOUR SICK EVIL LEZZIE
GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!! (falls to her knees, screaming [a la Dawn] and
beating the floor)

Got it. Motherhood great, jobs evil, sex evil, dykes must die. See,
the message got through loud and clear. Thanks, Joss.
