   Unfortunately, the producers had to work around external factors.  Stepping   
   back all these years, I see that they did one helluva job in holding it   
   together.  At the time, I was not as forgiving.   
      
   Same thing happened to Buffy - had to work with external circumstances and   
   go forward as best as possible.   
      
   I haven't seen Season 9 yet - but I am hoping that I will be pleasantly   
   surprised.
