Is this going to be a geriatric Buffy trying to run around and do all the
gymnastics and whatnot that she used to as a teenager, or is she going to be
kind of a Watcher type, mentoring a new young Slayer?

 
Either way, Sarah Michelle Gellar is still appealing and she still has
that little girl voice. In the latest Dexter tv series, she looks good.
I hope Dexter doesn't find a reason to murder her.

I agree Gellar looks good for her age and seems to have avoided the Hollywood
trap of turning herself into a version of the Joker with plastic surgery but I
don't like her character on DEXTER. She seems out of place; she doesn't gel
with the show, is the best way I can describe it. Christina Milian, on the
other hand, is fantastic casting as a young LaGuerta. She not only looks the
part, but she obviously studied the original show and has recreated the
character perfectly.

I also never recall thinking when I watched the original show how absurd it is
that the Miami-Dade Forensics Department is basically just a large closet off
the side of the homicide detective's bullpen. A major city like Miami? They'd
have their own building. How has Horatio Caine not thrown a fit over this?
