I haven't replied before as I've only just caught up to "Grave". I give a damn. I like Dawn. She can be bratty, but given what she's gone through, she's already proved to be remarkably robust. I cheered her on in "Wrecked" when she fought that demon, broken arm and all. Go Dawnie!

We've had two clear hints that we might be moving towards DtVS. Coquette's mentioned one. The other is the whole "built of Buffy blood" stuff which might indicate innate slayerness. Some fanfics picked up on the latter; I read a few post-"Gift" fics that picked up on this explicitly. I've only just started on post-"Grave" pieces so I can't say I've seen any more recent work.

Would I watch DtVS? My immediate reaction is to ask "But where does Buffy go?" I don't know that I could stand a third death or a one-way trip through a portal or, heaven help us, ascension to higher beinghood. Maybe she could retire or choose to leave Sunnydale while little sis holds the fort.

That said, I now believe that Mutant Enemy walk on water. Which isn't to say they don't get their feet wet now and then (Willow with the shakes! Ben IS Glory!) but they've managed to pull off all sorts of stunts that I never believed could be done well or at all. I mean, these people managed to completely re-engineer the entire series in "Fool for Love" (or at least, that was the ep that forced this lazy viewer to review and reinterpret all that had gone before, not just Spike stuff). And they gave us the lamest possible way to defeat Willow in "Grave" and I still bawled my eyes out! Bastards! How dare they manipulate me so!

So if ME think DtVS is feasible, then maybe they'll find a way to do it plausibly. And then maybe I'll want to watch.
