Nah, it was about how the boring parts of your school can mean access to an unsupervised space in general. Nothing special about a library in that respect

Which was like, the most important thing ever for teenagers before social media and cell phones.

In highschool we had friends join a wide range of sports/clubs/activities because between a small group of us we had access to almost everything for incredibly minor time investments. And if/when caught in compromising situations, we had the excuses and connections to have it handwaved it away.

Shit, it worked in the military too.

    I think she’s been doing pretty ok. Both in general and in Dexter. She hasn’t had a breakout hit like Buffy, but she’s had consistent work and been the lead in multiple series.

    I think the end of Buffy ended the storyline for her character, but not for the Buffy world. The whole point was there are now lots of slayers that have been awakened.

    Angel didn’t really end with a wrap up, so I don’t know what you mean by that. They got cancelled abruptly.

    she hasnt been doing well in hollywood as of late , saw on her dexter as a background character. BUFFY reboot wasnt going to work, since the OG series and angel ended on a proper ending.

    compare that to sabrina the "sitcom" and the more"mature version" took different directions with better material.

    It was in a very fall-asleep-worthy episode (1x05 Never Kill a Boy on the First Date).

    Warning! season 1 spoilers that don’t matter at all for any plot arcs:

    Buffy goes on a date with Owen, then breaks up with him because her life is too dangerous. The “anointed one” is revealed to be a creepy (but awesome) vampire kid. End of episode.

    Yes, back in my day, it was slang for paging someone, similar to “ring me” for calling.

    It’s also a reference to the show. Buffy wanted to go on a date and Giles was all “but epic responsibility!” and she convinced him she can do both and said “if the apocalypse comes, beep me.

    just stop it with the reboot shit and instead just make a new show featuring a different slayer

    From the article:

    "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale,” would have starred Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new slayer, with original series star Gellar reprising her role as Buffy in a recurring capacity.

    I think the article is flawed in calling this a "reboot", since it was supposed to be exactly what you asked for: a new show focused on a different character, in the same continuity of the previous show. But the point is moot, given that it's dead now anyway.
