What seems to have slipped off the radar is any discussion about the made-for-BBC Rupert Giles-centric, <em>Buffy</em> spin-off, <em>Ripper</em>.

And if you can get the star to commit for a few episodes during May sweeps, well that's even better.

Well, sort of. <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i1de189927bfff758edf074374464b7de">The WB television network is being resurrected it as a new web site. </a>The WB, tentatively called wb.com, will offer free streaming episodes of <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/gilmore-girls/">Gilmore Girls</a>, Everwood</em> and <em>What I Like About You</em>, to start.<br /><br />Those are all shows that were WB-produced during 1995-2006, before the WB merged with UPN to become the CW. It has yet to be determined if other series, including <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/">Buffy, the Vampire Slayer</a>, Felicity</em> and <em>Dawson's Creek</em> are slated for the wb.com stream. Like other online streaming venues that allow people to watch for free, the shows will be paid for by ads. In addition to the shows, the site is also going to create new, short (approximately five minute) vignettes targeting the old WB audience, primarily women 12-34.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Gilmore Girls</strong></p><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/gilmore-girls/692002/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/03/alexis_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Alexis Bledel" title="Alexis Bledel" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/gilmore-girls/692007/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/03/cast_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Gilmore Girls cast" title="Gilmore Girls cast" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/gilmore-girls/692014/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/03/gilmores-yale_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Gilmore Girls + parents" title="Gilmore Girls + parents" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/gilmore-girls/692017/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/03/laureng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Lauren Graham on Gilmore Girls" title="Lauren Graham on Gilmore Girls" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/gilmore-girls/692024/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/03/liza-alexis_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Rory and Paris in Gilmore Girls" title="Rory and Paris in Gilmore Girls" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/10/wb-coming-back-on-the-web/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>WB coming back on the web</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/10/wb-coming-back-on-the-web/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1135751/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/10/wb-coming-back-on-the-web/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>CW</category><category>Dawson's Creek</category><category>Dawson'sCreek</category><category>Everwood</category><category>Felicity</category><category>Gilmore Girls</category><category>GilmoreGirls</category><category>UPN</category><category>WB</category><category>WB.com</category><category>What I Like About You</category><category>WhatILikeAboutYou</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:24:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wolves at the Gate, Part 1</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-wolves-at-the-gate-part-1/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-wolves-at-the-gate-part-1/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-wolves-at-the-gate-part-1/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="319" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/03/btvs_s8_12a.png" alt="wolves at the gate cover" /><span style="font-style: italic;">(S08I12)</span> I never really cared for the Dracula episode of <span style="font-style: italic;">Buffy</span>. It definitely had its funny moments, but having Dracula thrown into the Buffyverse lore was hard to stomach. Not to mention this ass had an easy time of wooing Buffy. Oh, and Xander too.<br /><br />That said, this was a great issue. It marks the first of a series of issues written by TV <span style="font-style: italic;">Buffy</span> writer Drew Goddard, and the feeling from the show is captured perfectly. For some reason I wasn't able to say that as much before, but here I feel right at home.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-wolves-at-the-gate-part-1/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wolves at the Gate, Part 1</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-wolves-at-the-gate-part-1/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1134600/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-wolves-at-the-gate-part-1/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>buffy</category><category>comic book</category><category>ComicBook</category><category>dark horse comics</category><category>DarkHorseComics</category><category>joss whedon</category><category>JossWhedon</category><category>season 8</category><category>Season8</category><category>wolves at the gate</category><category>WolvesAtTheGate</category><dc:creator>Keith McDuffee</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 07 Mar 2008 16:23:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>TV in comics update: Buffy, Angel, The Stranded and Serenity</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/14/tv-in-comics-update-buffy-angel-the-stranded-and-serenity/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/14/tv-in-comics-update-buffy-angel-the-stranded-and-serenity/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/14/tv-in-comics-update-buffy-angel-the-stranded-and-serenity/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/science-fiction/" rel="tag">Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/firefly/" rel="tag">Firefly</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/angel/" rel="tag">Angel</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/early-looks/" rel="tag">Early Looks</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="323" border="0" align="right" alt="buffy comic" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/13628_200x308.shkl.jpg" />It's been a while since my last review of a <span style="font-style: italic;">Buffy</span> season eight comic, and since then there's been other developments in the TV-on-comics front (we should have a category for that). Rather than dedicate separate posts to this news, I'll round everything up here, at least this time around.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</span> - season eight - Issues #10 &amp; #11</span><br />These were stand-alone "episodes," unlike 'The Long Way Home' and 'No Future for You'. A few things are revealed here that help keep the Big Bad of this season in play. Willow has even more power than we could have realized in past seasons, and an unexpected person has a crush on Buffy. I really liked 'A Beautiful Sunset' (#11) more than any other issue, with a great moment where one of the main, masked antagonists is almost revealed. Classic Joss writing.<br /><br />A new multi-part series kicks off March 5, written by veteran Drew Goddard.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/14/tv-in-comics-update-buffy-angel-the-stranded-and-serenity/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TV in comics update: Buffy, Angel, The Stranded and Serenity</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/14/tv-in-comics-update-buffy-angel-the-stranded-and-serenity/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1111538/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/14/tv-in-comics-update-buffy-angel-the-stranded-and-serenity/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>angel</category><category>angel after the fall</category><category>AngelAfterTheFall</category><category>buffy</category><category>buffy season 8</category><category>BuffySeason8</category><category>comic books</category><category>ComicBooks</category><category>dark horse comics</category><category>DarkHorseComics</category><category>firefly</category><category>idw publishing</category><category>IdwPublishing</category><category>joss whedon</category><category>JossWhedon</category><category>serenity</category><category>serenity better days</category><category>SerenityBetterDays</category><dc:creator>Keith McDuffee</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:21:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Torchwood: The season so far</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/09/torchwood-the-season-so-far/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/09/torchwood-the-season-so-far/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/09/torchwood-the-season-so-far/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/doctor-who/" rel="tag">Doctor Who</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/angel/" rel="tag">Angel</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/torchwood/" rel="tag">Torchwood</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="276" border="0" align="top" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/torchwood_080208.jpg" alt="Torchwood: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" /><br />Did you really think Captain Jack wouldn't be back? Now in its second series/season in both the UK and the US, we're going to do things a little differently with our <span style="font-style: italic;">Torchwood</span> reviews this year. The fine folks on both sides of the pond finally got things squared away so that new episodes air much closer in the US to their initial UK airing. The third episode airs this Saturday, February 9, on BBC America, which is a little more than a week after the UK airing. To minimize any "spoilery" concerns, the episode reviews will follow the US airings.<br /><br />But before we can get to that, we need to play a little bit of catch up, so look for an overview of the first two episodes of Series/Season Two after the jump. And about that image up there spoiling the first episode? Hey, that might just be a flashback sequence. That's right, I got you there.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/09/torchwood-the-season-so-far/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Torchwood: The season so far</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/09/torchwood-the-season-so-far/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1110568/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/09/torchwood-the-season-so-far/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Burn Gorman</category><category>BurnGorman</category><category>Captain Jack Harkness</category><category>CaptainJackHarkness</category><category>Eve Myles</category><category>EveMyles</category><category>Gareth David-Lloyd</category><category>GarethDavid-lloyd</category><category>Gwen Cooper</category><category>GwenCooper</category><category>Ianto</category><category>Jack Harkness</category><category>JackHarkness</category><category>James Marsters</category><category>JamesMarsters</category><category>John Barrowman</category><category>JohnBarrowman</category><category>Naoko Mori</category><category>NaokoMori</category><category>Owen Harper</category><category>OwenHarper</category><category>The Doctor</category><category>TheDoctor</category><category>Toshiko Sati</category><category>ToshikoSati</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 09 Feb 2008 10:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Some more spinoffs I'd like to see</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/28/some-more-spinoffs-id-like-to-see/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/28/some-more-spinoffs-id-like-to-see/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/28/some-more-spinoffs-id-like-to-see/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/drama/" rel="tag">Other Drama Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/science-fiction/" rel="tag">Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a></p><p><img height="247" alt="Seth Green as Oz" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/01/oz19.jpg" width="200" align="right" vspace="4" border="0" />When one of our favorite TV shows goes off the air, it can be devastating. However, many times, the cancellation is the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/12/18/holiday-spinoffs-id-like-to-see/">birth of a spinoff</a>. Sometimes it can be a great thing (<em>Frasier</em>) and sometimes not so much (<em>AfterM*A*S*H</em>). Here are some this month's spinoff ideas that I would love to see.</p>
<p><strong><u>McCormack &amp; Van Lowe: At Your Service<br /></u></strong>When Keith Mars becomes sheriff of Neptune and his daughter Veronica joins the FBI, Vinnie Van Lowe emerges as the county's number one private detective. His new caseload is so overwhelming and his moral compass is so out of whack that he's forced to employ attorney Cliff McCormack on a permanent basis. Together with the help of their excitable intern (Alia Shawkat), they bring their distinctive style of crime-solving to the citizens of Neptune.</p>

That's because there are a number of books about television that you could be using that free money towards. There are books about TV shows, books about TV characters, books written by TV characters, and just general television history books. There are so many books about television already out or about to be released that you could easily spend countless hours reading them on the steps of your <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734683/synopsis">local library after the nuclear holocaust</a>. </p>

I'm not talking about people or things who just are scary because they're dangerous or despicable. I mean things that truly keep you awake at night, afraid to turn out the lights. Afraid to be home alone. Afraid to fly on a plane. There are a few characters on television over the years who've stuck out more than others as being truly frightening to a handful of us TV Squadders, and we've put together a list (surprise!) of characters who have haunted us for years. If we're digging up old unforgotten nightmares of your own, well, sorry about that.<br /><br />The list is numbered, but it doesn't necessarily mean these are ordered. Like I said -- we all have a different definition of what truly frightens us. Make sure you list your own in the comments.

<p>Amazon is making your decision a little bit easier for you.

Vaughan pulled off what I think feels very true to the Buffyverse. Faith was always one of my favorite characters from Buffy and Angel, and it's great to see her back again. And scenes with Giles? Even better.<br /><br />It's been so long since I'd watched the last couple of seasons of <span style="font-style: italic;">Buffy</span> that I completely forgot that Principal Wood had a thing with Faith. Here we see that Wood is fully involved in the big baddiness of the world, and he and Faith are still quite a thing.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/09/19/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-no-future-for-you-part-1/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer: No Future For You, Part I</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/09/19/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-no-future-for-you-part-1/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/988537/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/09/19/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-no-future-for-you-part-1/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>buffy</category><category>dark horse comics</category><category>DarkHorseComics</category><category>faith</category><category>joss whedon</category><category>JossWhedon</category><category>season 8</category><category>Season8</category><dc:creator>Keith McDuffee</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 19 Sep 2007 11:01:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Chain</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/08/02/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-chain/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/08/02/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-chain/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/08/02/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-chain/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="323" border="0" align="right" alt="buffy season 8" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/07/snipshot_e4uw551ui2i.png" /><span style="font-style: italic;">(S08I05) </span>It seems the readers have spoken ... written ... <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/31/should-i-keep-reviewing-buffy-season-8/">voted</a>, and I will continue to review the "episodes" of <span style="font-style: italic;">Buffy</span> season 8. I agree with some of the sentiments left in the comments, though. While this is meant to be a canonical continuation of the TV series, it's not a TV series. This is a comic, and it feels like one. It can't replace the direction and the acting we saw on the small screen, and I don't believe it was ever meant to.<br /><br />When one of your friends heads off to a faraway land and sends you a letter every week, it's not the same as them being there with you, but it sure is comforting to have them around, so-to-speak. It's like that, only not as desperate sounding.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/08/02/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-chain/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Chain</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/08/02/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-chain/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/955979/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/08/02/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-chain/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>buffy</category><category>dark horse comics</category><category>DarkHorseComics</category><category>joss whedon</category><category>JossWhedon</category><category>season 8</category><category>Season8</category><dc:creator>Keith McDuffee</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 02 Aug 2007 10:47:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Should I keep reviewing Buffy season 8?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/31/should-i-keep-reviewing-buffy-season-8/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/31/should-i-keep-reviewing-buffy-season-8/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/31/should-i-keep-reviewing-buffy-season-8/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-squad-polls/" rel="tag">TV Squad Polls</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="323" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/07/snipshot_e4uw551ui2i.png" alt="Buffy season 8" />Some of you may not know this already, but the latest issue of the <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</em> season 8 comic hit stores last week, when originally it was slated to come out, I believe, this week. As I was picking up my copy, I got to wondering if the TV Squad readers even cared to have me continue to review them, especially with the news that <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/28/comic-con-joss-whedon-panel-report/">there will be a season 9 comic</a>.<br /><br />So, once again I'm going to take advantage of the use of polls and leave it up to you. While I'm definitely going to keep buying and reading these books, do you want me to continue to review them here for you? I'll check the results of the poll (after the jump) later this week and decide.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/31/should-i-keep-reviewing-buffy-season-8/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Should I keep reviewing Buffy season 8?</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/31/should-i-keep-reviewing-buffy-season-8/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/953975/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/31/should-i-keep-reviewing-buffy-season-8/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>buffy</category><category>comic book</category><category>ComicBook</category><category>dark horse comics</category><category>DarkHorseComics</category><category>joss whedon</category><category>JossWhedon</category><category>poll</category><category>season 8</category><category>Season8</category><dc:creator>Keith McDuffee</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 09:53:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Comic-Con: Top five TV news stories</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/29/comic-con-top-five-tv-news-stories/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/29/comic-con-top-five-tv-news-stories/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/29/comic-con-top-five-tv-news-stories/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/industry/" rel="tag">Industry</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lost/" rel="tag">Lost</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/smallville/" rel="tag">Smallville</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="333" border="0" align="top" alt="ComicCon Hall" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/07/comiccon-hall.jpg" /><br /><br />While there are still a couple of panels left to go, things are definitely winding down at the Comic-Con.

Joss is currently in talks with the BBC and Mr. Anthony Stewart Head. Plans are almost a go for <em>RIPPER</em>! <em>Ripper </em>is the long-rumored story of Giles pre-<em>Buffy</em>. Who knows what the plot will actually be, but Whedon reported here at Comic-Con - literally, like, five minutes ago - that negotiations are close to finished on a ninety minute BBC special - <em>Ripper</em>.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/28/comic-con-joss-whedon-panel-breaking-news/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/952646/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/28/comic-con-joss-whedon-panel-breaking-news/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>BBC</category><category>comic-con</category><category>comiccon</category><category>featured</category><category>Giles</category><category>Joss Whedon</category><category>JossWhedon</category><category>Ripper</category><dc:creator>Julia Ward</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jul 2007 20:14:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Long Way Home, Part 4</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/06/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-long-way-home-part-4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/06/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-long-way-home-part-4/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/06/07/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-long-way-home-part-4/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/" rel="tag">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="384" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/06/14114_250x384.shkl.jpg"  alt="buffy season 8 issue 4" /><span style="font-style: italic;">(S08I04) </span>And thus ends the first arc of the new season of <span style="font-style: italic;">Buffy</span>.
