an article i found online....do with it what you will. :coolman:
"Whedon Says Buffy Spinoff Ripper Still Planned
Joss Whedon says nothing is ''set'' but Ripper could happen as soon as next year.
The line to get into Joss Whedon's panel, sponsored by Dark Horse Comics, at the San Diego Comic-Con was so massive and serpentine that we were unable to squeeze our way inside. Does that prevent us from bringing you some rather massive news? No, it does not. We have moles everywhere. Some of whom have eyes (we don't post stuff the smell-only moles tell us. Just doesn't translate).
Those who did attend the panel found out that Joss Whedon, the increasingly iconic and simultaneously reclusive creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly has plans for a new Buffy spin-off. And not in comic books this time, but on television!
It's called Ripper and it's been rumored and discussed and speculated about for years. This time Whedon has said that things are getting closer. He's "talking to Anthony Stewart Head" to reprise his role as Rupert Giles, Buffy's "Watcher." It will be a BBC production and run 90 minutes. No word yet on whether we're looking at a pilot, a one-off, or what could happen. But Whedon says it looks possible for "next year." This is as close as we've come in a long time to any new Buffy hitting the air.
The "vibe" that Whedon gave off at the panel was one that "he's back." He said that he "Didn't go away" but had been writing comics and now it's time for him to get back out there and get stuff done. It's safe to say for those who like Whedon and all things worthy that this just might be the best news to come out of San Diego so far."
so....my thoughts. Giles is Buffy and season 6 was weird without him. So glad when he came back for the final season. A spin-off, even if a one time thing, would be great. I decided that when i buy a pet, which i am hoping is soon, i am completely going to call him Giles. Random...sorry.
