Exactly. Not a huge deal to me, but the point is that there a lot of people that have bought into Buffy and Angel blind. Why should they be penalized for not seeing the show in its first run or syndication?
then why did those of us who didn't see Sixth Sense until it came out on DVD (like 8 months after release) get penalized and get spoiled the ending because we didn't see it in the theater and waited until video?
Buffy is a very involving show. If you miss an episode, you're screwed. For crying out loud, there shouldn't be any pictures on the box at all because people catching up on the show and are only just finishing season 2 will see the season 7 cover and see Spike on it, doesn't that spoil that he returns to the show?
When it comes to other shows, it's "okay" to spoil what happens, why not Buffy? Most everyone I know buying the Buffy sets were fans of the show either during WB or at least UPN, or caught up with the reruns through FX. My friend Lisa got into the show in April 2003 (barely a month before the series finale) and yet she's seen every episode 4 or 5 times by now.
