I'm not familiar with the actress. Apparently she was in the Red Tide season of American Horror Story which is apparently bad, but that doesn't mean anything for her specifically.

There is some symbolism in Armstongs casting as Gellers spiritual successor the actresses names, Ryan Kiera Armstrong and Sarah Michelle Gellar, share the same cadence.
Fuck me, people get paid to write this shit.

I haven't seen it, but she was also in the Firestarter remake as the kid who could start fires with her mind.

Zac Efron played the dad.

edit: oh yea, she's also plays a main character in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Another misuse of the word reboot smh. A continuation in the same universe where SMG plays an older Buffy is not a reboot.

Yeah, I'm willing to give it a shot myself.

God willing, it's 22 episodes a season and not some tightly packed seven episode storyline. That's not what Buffy is.

It's almost certainly going to be 8-10 episodes per season with like a 2-3 year break between seasons.

Yeah, that confused me. If SMG is reprising her role, it's more of a revival. Reboot to me means completely starting over.

8-10 episode seasons with 2 year breaks is the norm now. It hurts but it is what it is.

Yes.

Though it has a few jokes and comments that are....of the time. Xander in particular is kind of a creep in some episodes.

They found the axe they insisted on calling a scythe which was a mystical weapon created for the First Slayer. Willow used it as a catalyst for casting a spell that activated all potential Slayers across the entire world.

I haven't watched it since the 2000s but I don't remember much that would date it (other than obvious stuff like technology). The Whedon-speak that was novel at the time but omnipresent now will probably hit different tho.

Reboot now means just bringing something back in general, regardless of continuity. The war is over and we lost.

Sorry just seems like they throw around these words. Remake, reboot, sequel, revival. Generally the first two are starting from scratch and the second two continue, maybe with some recons.

I know I'm thinking too much.

If it were happening now I'd probably agree, but just having decent representation in general was a big enough ask back then.
