How sick am I of Noxon-bashing? Enough to break my rule of silence, certainly. I've had so many people rag on her for aspects of the show I developed, or praise me for things she came up with. She's been a vital part of everything people love about Buffy since she overhauled the halloween script in season two. She's as good a story-breaker as I've ever worked with. And she's a leader.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, Vmars. You are uninformed and rude. That's mine.

Go Joss! I love how Vmars just carries on making rude comments about the Spike show, and whining about the majority of people hate seasons 6 and 7, when the creator of the show was there himself, and taking offense to what he was saying.

Some people have no manners. And how can you still need to rant about it anyway? I understand feeling upset when the show is still airing, but Bts has been over for years now! Get a grip, and find some tv that you do enjoy and want to talk about. Geez

Go, Joss! I've always hated Marti being used as a scapegoat for everything fans don't like about the show. Frankly, I think the show wouldn't have been half as good without her bringing the sex and angst.

ITA! From the first, in What's My Line, I absolutely floved her scene with Drusilla torturing Angel. Yes, she's been involved with the show for that long guys! It's not like she's some new writer that suddenly popped up in season 6. Joss has said over and over what a huge role she had in the show long before season 6, hence why he was choosing her to be showrunner.

And the Buffy being depressedd after returning from the dead theme was from Joss himself, and something he had originally wanted to do with the Alien sequel. And if you look at Joss's later episodes (Family, The Gift, OMWF, HB rewrite, Lessons, BY ending, Chosen) he's not exactly anti Spike or Spuffy himself! He and Marti were clearly on the same page.
