NO!

From here:

Scott Allie will be co-writing the Buffy Season 8 finale

WHAT.

Oh, Joss. Why do you do this to me? It's like you want me to hate you.

I do kind of love that Jane is too busy. Seriously, when are they going to let that woman create a show of her own? I like her work on other people's stuff--some more than others, of course--but I think she could do something really great if she had full creative control.

I'd rather have it be delayed and have Joss knock it out himself, frankly.

That was my first thought--why don't they just put it on hold so that Joss can do it himself later? But that would just lose readers, and they can't afford that.

It's one of the most fantastically paced shows I've ever seen, it really is. I'm enjoying it muchly and have loads of thoughts.

Thanks! Happy writing!

Really? You think? I kind of assume that anyone who's going to read the final arc is pretty committed to it at this point. If the horrid Twilight arc and the four month wait hasn't killed their determination, would another little delay really do it?

Yeah, that's how I feel, too, but I get the feeling Joss wants to get his out of the way before the Avengers crazy starts to really dominate his every waking hour.

Yeah, probably.

Oh well. At least I hadn't invested much hope in Joss being able to save S8 with the final arc. Now I won't be disappointed. :)
