The orginal characters neither look or act like themselves
So far Xander is the only one who feels 'real' to me. And whilst I never disliked Xander, having *him* as my main focus is just bizarre!

I am not sure about the story either.
Overall I'm very unimpressed (the whole Voll thing is just boring), but on its own the Faith arc works rather well (one single strand rather than 5 different ones). Shame she's not in character.

They are not interested in characters or story, just what playing with comics allows them.
It's like the new Star Wars films... (I still remember almost laughing when Darth Vader shouted 'Noooooo!' hearing that Amidala had died. And then came home from the cinema, watched Doctor Who ('Bad Wolf' 1.12) and it had a death scene that just knocked me out in it's utterly heartbreaking understatedness! You don't need effects if the characters and story are brilliant.)

Joss has a new sand-box, and thinks the sand it better. It isn't.
OMG I've written about that: Blue Sand.
