Though both Faith and Spike are both strong characters, no new themes could be explored with them. They both have the same redemption/addiction theme that had all ready been done with Angel.
I think there is an amazing amount of ideas that could come off from a show that revolves around Illyria. Fighting for good not because she found a soul and wants redemption, but because she lost her power saw the world through the eyes of the weak. A "The Fall of a King" type theme could be deeply explored, and it's something no other Whedon show has touched.

The problem with an Illyria show is that while she is an incredibly interesting character a show that revolved compeltly about her would not work. Why? Because she is too passive, she is too icy, too unpassionate. She's silent and doesn't show emotions. Even Angel who was a lonely brooding character often had action, often did things and talked. With Illyria it is just a lot of standing around looking icy. And while that is really cool it's not lead-character material. And without Angel and Spike to get her into wacky situations I don't think that a lot would happen to her. She doesn't have any real motivation to go out there and get in trouble. She's only with the vamp duo because they are the only thing she knows. Illyria is a great character, I just don't think that it would be possible to do a show around her  . |

You'd be surprised with Faith, as we're finding out on the show we're doing for her there is stacks still to be done with her character! Her history, her family, how she grew up and what made her the girl she is when she first showed up in Buffy Season Three are all themes we're addressing, but moreover we're taking her current attitude (the more settled but still loner-orientated way she was in Buffy S7 and Angel S4) and applying that to the situations we throw her into. You could pretty much do the same thing for Spike, butthere's almost two hundred years of backstory to dip into for him! |

Does anyone need help with any of their spin offs? With ideas or writing?

Maybe this idea has already been brought up, but a spinoff involving Xander in Africa could be really interesting and very different. Could really get into the mythology and lore of the various peoples of Africa and you would really only have the one old cast member. The other cast members would have to be completely new - unless he took a Slayer or two with him.

That is pretty much the last place where I would think the guy would end up, especially after all of the traumatic hyena incidents... But seems that's where the producers wanted him. The idea for the spin-off sounds good. I don't think it's really my cup of tea but I think the concept is good. |

This was brought up on another Angel board so it's not my idea but it certainly is...interesting to say the least.
Lorne and Giles. Think of the possibilites. The Whedonverse odd couple. Lorne just needs to start smoking cigars.
Buh buh ba na, buh buh ba na na na na.

Is this board only for discussing Buffy and Angelverse spin-offs or for discussing any sort of Virtual Series?

Well, if you read the title of the subject, I would think the answer obvious   However, this is Caritas; I don't think there's anything that says you can't start your own topic. Perhaps we should start a topic for the rest of the FUWB "schedule"? |
