Bad idea.

Well, TPTB have finally made up their minds: they do want a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, but one without Willow, Xander, Spike, Dawn, et al. Oh, and without Joss Whedon, the man who took the original one-note-joke movie and turned it into five seasons' worth of truly great TV.

I guess this means they'll be sticking with the original version of the character, or taking the series in a completely new direction, seeing as Buffy's friends played such a significant role in the TV series. Hmm... I wonder if they'll bring back Pike, too?

Note: While I totally realize the TV show was vastly superior and and all, all this uproar does kind of make me want to re-watch the original movie. Is that wrong?
