Dipping my toe into the Supernatural production lore has me thinking about Buffy again. Do people know? Do people know what kind of absolutely bananas stuff was happening with Spuffy?? Like, they fucked for an entire season. The final season focuses on Spike and Buffy so much that it arguably crowds out the development of the Actual main characters. And yet. I had to get up and literally walk around the room with my hand on my forehead like Columbo just THINKING about their final conversation. Remarkable parallels to spn. How history repeats itself

#how both Spike and Cas were supposed to die after a few episodes #but just kind of Stayed by virtue of sheer charisma #well #the writer’s strike helped with spn #but still!! #I’ve gotta learn the actual production goss for Buffy #this is what happens when half your writers hate a dude #and the other half love him #and they’re all stuck in a 6 season long cage match #powered by the CW #(I know they switched networks in s6 but for the sake of the joke) #mine #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #spuffy
