   You're going to watch a reboot *without* thinking about the original   
   series?   
   Good luck with that plan! :-D   
      
   Buffy had a great cast and great stories and they should leave it alone   
   or do a series that shows how things have changed since the slayers   
   became public.   
      
   I don't think this will get made but if it does it won't be anytime soon.

           If they want another Slayer series, maybe it should be another   
   Slayer (not Buffy and before Willow turned all Potentials into Slayers),   
   with another Watcher, in another city, or in a different country.  Maybe   
   Nikki Wood and her Watcher.
