BUFFY/ANGEL REUNION: Strange things happen on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel all the time, but none stranger than this. Buffy’s Alyson Hannigan, who plays the Chosen One’s sorceress sidekick Willow, will be appearing on the spinoff series in the March 26 episode of Angel. Since the supernatural shows are now on different networks — Buffy left the WB for UPN last season; Angel stayed put — how did the crossover come to pass? Sources tell TV Guide Online that, because this is likely Buffy’s last season and could be Angel’s as well, the networks are giving wunderkind creator Joss Whedon the leeway to do whatever he likes. Gee, talk about a good news/bad news scenario!

LORD, IT’S EVEN MORE ANGEL SCOOP: Lord of the Rings co-star Sean Astin moves behind the camera to direct the Feb. 5 installment of Angel, titled “Soulless.” We don’t have a problem with that. Just so long as he doesn’t make a hobbit of it. Get it? Hobbit? Oh, never mind.

The part about possible last seasons is a bit of a downer though.

☹

Agreed. Let’s hope they don’t louse it up. But hey, crossovers be good! GOOOOD!!!

And maybe we’ll see some Willow/Wesley sparks, since they are getting hitched IRL.

I was thinking that Willow sure would be handy in restoring someone’s soul- as she has some experience in that area.
