As far as story, Breen is saying all the right things here, albeit still not saying anything about the racial issues: She’s not going to just reset Whedon’s original creations; she wouldn’t think of making a new version of Willow, Giles, etc.; she wants to look at the Buffyverse 20 years later through the eyes of a new protagonist. These are all good artistic impulses.

The details are still unclear—does this mean we might get cameo appearances from the original cast, Star Trek: TNG-style?—but hopefully it’ll silence people worried that anyone other than James Marsters will ever say the immortal line, “What can I tell you, baby? I’ve always been bad.” Maybe it’ll even give them something to sing about.
