I think he is already paving the way for S9 - with Harm's Way and issue 16 of Angel.
I also think so. I think the "celebrity" twist may be a set-up for a situation in which Buffy, to prevent the end of the world, will have to turn all slayers, including herself, into ordinary humans. Or it will be the consequence of getting rid of all the demons. And season 9 will be about Buffy struggling in a fascist utopia and finally restoring her power.
I'm curious who do you think is Twilight? My guess is Caleb.
It's a recurring theme in his work - I see it as far back as Toy Story and Alien Resurrection (which he wrote but despised the direction of).
Oh, yes, Alien Resurrection. His first attempt to combine a human and a monster in the same person. It was a very interesting experiment, but I think it was doomed by default because two demiurges (and I regard Jeunet as a demiurg) with absolutely different sensibilities can't co-exist in one universe.
I find Whedon fascinating, even when he drives me crazy.
Same here. (I remember reading your articles back in 2000-2003. I didn't know that you follow comics. Today Maggie mentioned your discussion on Dark Horse forum and I rushed to read it.)
