Re: OT: Joss's original plan for Season 7

[Michiruka <young_fire2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jumping out of lurking for just a moment.

I want to say, just to imagine that, it brought me a sense
of happiness. That really sucks that it never happened. It
would have, ultimately, been one of the best(if not the
best) episodes of season 7. Shame. (: I think someone
should play with that idea and right their own little
episode dealing with that.

It'd be a pretty good idea.

Buffy saw the deer-in-the-headlights look on her mom's face and trailed
off.  She realized just how much she had shared and gulped loudly.  "Uh,
can you ignore that last bit?  Please?  Just forget I ever said it."

"I'm trying to, I really am," Joyce replied.
