Try watching the original Haunting.
Do you like ANYTHING from Joss ? LOL
Seriously though, I was late to the whole Buffy / Angel 'verse myself. It wasn't until after Firefly that I seriously sat down and dedicated myself to watching Ep 1 / Season 1 of each series, all the way through to the finales of both shows. I haven't followed up via the comics though.
At first, I was reluctant to bother w/ Buffy, simply because I felt that I was a bit outside the target audience. But once I saw how clever the stories and charactes were written, I quickly became addicted.
I've heard less than flattering things about SMG, but to be honest, I never got so wrapped up in the actors themselves to let it influence me. I simply liked the character, and how they wrote for her, and that was enough for me. Whether she was a diva, or stomped kittens in real life, I couldn't really care. Her on screen persona was and remains, imo, very unique. Same w/ Eliza. There's just something about them that goes beyond their hotness, that i really enjoy watching. At least, on screen.
As is often the case, how actors are off screen, might not be all that. So I choose to ignore that , as best I can, and let them do their thing,on screen.

I should have mentioned that I REALLY liked the film, so maybe it was such a letdown to switch to SMG. I had hoped the series would fulfill the promise/potential of the film.

Didn't Joss walk away from , or get replaced, from the movie ? That, or he wasn't allowed to fully develop what he wanted, I can't recall.
So, who would have played Buffy, if not SMG ?
Charisma was up for the part, wasn't she ?

Was the girl from the film not available?
Lisa Jakub. Maybe too young.
Lucy Deakins.
Kim Richards.
Jill Schoelin - she was done dating Brad Pitt by then.
I'm sure there are others I would have loved to see.

Too homely.
Cute, but can she do the physical stuff ?
Too old
Even more too old.
Seriously, the last 2 are older than I am! Please.

I've been catching more trailers of Wayward Pines coming on TV.
Does anybody get the sense this is derived from Cabin In The Woods, or has many similarities to it?

It's closer to Twin Peaks or the very short-lived Happy Town than Cabin.

I don't recall Twin Peaks being on a contrived set for the players to act out their roles as directed. You meant the TV show?

I have no interest in Wayward Pines due to Shyamalan's involvement, but I do know that nearly every thing I've seen or read about it compares it to Twin Peaks, including that Blake Crouch, the author of the book trilogy it's adapted from, has said that TP was his inspiration.
It may or may not also have some similarities to Cabin, but as I already said, I don't care enough to check it out. For the most part, I'm taking a break from summer TV to read more.

What do you dislike about Shyamalan? Any particular work? General themes or genre that he works?
I may have seen something from him that was annoying, but I cannot recall it at this time.
