They look so good together.

Of course there's already organized protests and various people being e-mailed because OMG Spike shouldn't dare be on the cover with Buffy!

Don't people have anything better to do with their time?

I won't disagree that Spike and Buffy had the biggest storylines in the seventh season, so I guess it makes sense. I just wish they had spent more time on the rest of the cast, but alas.

IMO, Spike was kinda shoe-horned into the season (not that I minded, but that's what it felt like to me); and this isn't the only incidence of shoe-horning. I was Very surprised when he had ended up on a disk for the Season Three DVD's; like Hello! he was only in ONE episode. And what about Giles?!

I Lurve Spike (And Spuffy); I'm as a big a fan of him/them as they come (been to the conventions, got the action figures), but even I can see that there were times when his presence seemed to take over a lot of the show, which wouldn't have been bad necessarily, except for it being to the detriment of the rest of the cast. ::sigh::

I think I just wish they'd had the core scoobies on at least ONE of the covers. :\

Oh I dunno. I thought the reason there was less Xander was because the writers were bored of him and replaced him with Andrew. And the potentials, Kennedy, Wood all popped up in season 7. I don't think TPTB would have spend time on certain characters anyway, otherwise they wouldn't be introducing fresh blood. Even if Spike wasn't around I don't think Xander would have got a great storyline. If they had stories to tell about the neglected characters I'm sure they would have included them regardless of Spike's presence. They didn't seem all that inspired though. If they should have got rid of anyone it was the potentials IMO.

The season 6 DVD had Buffy/Xander/Willow on it so that's the "core cast". I guess Giles wasn't on it because ASH wanted to leave as a full-time cast member at that time.

I do agree about Spike being included on season 3 being rather bizarre *g*

Ugh, don't even get me started on the "Potentials" (<-- how ironic since they actually stole the 'potential' from the show XP).

Don't mind me, I'm just bitter because it all went so-very-downhill from S4 on.

The season 6 DVD had Buffy/Xander/Willow on it so that's the "core cast".

Were they? Oh ok. I am a bad BtVS fan because I only have Seasons 1-4 on DVD. :P
