New Buffy audio series wants to correct one of the show’s biggest injustices

polygon.com:

Ask any Buffy fan and they can tell you about their favorite injustice. Without even touching the dicier parts of Joss Whedon as a person, they’ll be quick to tell you about the character he introduced in the opening credits only to kill her off in the same episode (Tara), or who didn’t make it out of the final battle of Sunnydale but really fuckin’ should have (Anya). Even continuing the story in an “eighth season” of comics didn’t seem to provide much comfort for fans hanging around to see what happens and hoping to get justice for their faves. But Audible, with its new series Slayers: A Buffyverse Story, hopes to provide some long-awaited relief for Buffy fans, and maybe even right a couple of wrongs along the way.

And thanks to the prevalence of the multiverse, everyone can get their just deserts — and even be alive again.

Slayers picks up “about a dozen years” after the finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when Buffy and co. managed to give every potential slayer their slayer powers. The person explaining this to us is Spike (played, as all familiar Buffyverse characters are, by the original actor, in this case James Marsters). The first half of the episode is his — mostly about him meeting Indira (Laya DeLeon Hayes), a slayer who only recently got her powers and is stoked to be here. (Like “know the whole history,” ships Buffy and Spike, gets called Slayer at school “in like, a mocking way.”)

[Ed. note: The rest of this post contains some light setup spoilers for the end of the first episode of Slayers.]

Just when it seems the premiere episode is purely setting up another unlikely buddy pairing with Spike and a plucky young girl, she shows up. No, not Buffy — Cordelia Chase.
