sombrefanFrom a review of the "Seven seasons of Buffy".
Contributor Kevin Andrew Murphy takes that love-hate tendency on the part of fandom a step further, considering whether fans' chatter about the show on the Internet -- and creators' awareness and monitoring of that chatter -- in fact came to direct the creative choices made for the series, possibly for the worse.
In effect, Murphy seems to indicate, fan blather may in fact have contributed to the decline many fans felt the series suffered during its final two seasons.
Too right. Hope some fans are happy now.
