Re. my post about the pre-views... it was just a gut-reaction. I want to like the comics, really truly, I wish I went 'Squee' instead of 'Eeeek', but... Currently I just want the first story to be over so we can get to Faith. Surely a Faith story can't go wrong?
Aaaaanyway, I think I've worked something out - Joss is turning into George Lucas! Not literally of course (what an awful idea!), but he's revisiting a 'verse we thought he'd left. OK so he's doing sequels, not prequels, and they're only comics - but he obviously wants to go back to the originals and fix stuff a little and change bits around and kinda messing up the continuity. Sorry guys - we all know Han shot first. (Actually, I just tried to imagine the new Star Wars films as comics - now there's a scary thought! The best thing by far with the S8 comics is the dialogue, and Mr Lucas can't write it for love nor money!)
Did I have a point there? I'm not sure. My head hurts, but I've had some Toblerone and read some truly excellent fic, so I'll just pimp and let you go enjoy. Comics Schmomics - let Joss play with his shiny new toy - *my* show ended after 7 seasons! Actually, you know what? I think I've moved on. I love Buffy, but the show is over. It's dead and buried and I'm OK with that. Bringing it back just reminds me a leetle of this...
DOC: It's a tricky spell, girl. I can't say for sure your mother will come back exactly like she was. Sometimes these ... things ... get a little off.
DAWN: But she'll still be my mother. Won't she?
DOC: More or less.
So - you should all go read Man's Best Friend by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tkp. PG-13, post-NFA, gen-ish, Angel, Spike, Nina, Illyria, and a puppy. Beautifully (and oh so very cleverly) written, funny, poignant, characters that leap off the page and right into your heart... I'm trying and failing to adequately explain how good it is, so just give it a try, OK? Trust me.
