rogueslayer452++ The South Korean president has been impeached, with many of the protestors celebrating the announcement. Watching the events unfold from when he had declared martial law only to quickly revoke it hours later with a small "whoops my bad" statement, to the mass protests by South Korean citizens over the last week, it's been wild but I can also imagine scary. At least the protests managed to keep up those spirits with the people, since they were using kpop as a way of keeping everyone united in solidarity with one another, with the various group light sticks and even kpop idols were joining in the protests. Congratulations, South Korea. America really should take notes......
++ Dreamcatcher has been releasing meme recreations as official teasers for their upcoming Christmas comeback. They've done similar things with their self-made music videos for the b-side songs. It's adorable, fun and silly, and so on brand for them.
++ In a recent interview Sarah Michelle Gellar made a brief comment about being open to a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when previously she hadn't been. Now I'm taking this statement as merely hypothetical, just based on the context of why she was saying it. I think she's more or less just wanting more kinds of characters like Buffy in the current political and social climates we're living in, which I cannot blame her for. Honestly, I can't think of a character or show in recent years that compares to what BTVS/Buffy Summers was to a lot of young people when the show aired, especially young women (not that things are given a chance in television to really make such a strong impact, mind you). So I can understand the longing of needing another Buffy-like character and story to exist in media again.
Obviously the show doesn't need a reboot, it's fine as it is. And since people are still discovering it for the first time anyway, it's best to leave it be and let people naturally gravitate to the series.
