"Buffy" expert clears up controversy
"Buffy The Vampire Slayer" co-executive producer Marti Noxon is clearing up some confusing questions for fans of the show.
During a chat with E! Online's TV guru, Wanda, Marti quickly started off by easing fan fears that a recent episode insinuating Buffy's vampire-slaying ways were actually an elaborate hallucination was not meant to destroy the world of Sunnydale.
Many "Buffy" fans expressed outrage when AllPop suggested after the airing of "Normal Again" -- which found Buffy existing in two dimensions, in one she was a mental patient, in the other she was the slayer -- that having Buffy realize everything was a hallucination would be a perfect way to end the series. Angry e-mails claimed that ending the show in that manor would be cheating the fans who have become so involved with the "Buffy mythology". Fear not, upset followers.
"We didn't want to invalidate her whole journey," Marti told E! Online. "It was just kind of a what-if, not a thesis statement, and we're not going to have asylum shows from now on."
In more "Buffy" news, Marti also told Wanda that although this season has been very dark, the writers are hoping to raise the slayer back to her former hero status once again.
Marti went on to say that, although some fans want Buffy and Spike to continue their romance, she and the others on the "Buffy" team feel that there's no future in their love.
