Sarah Michelle Gellar says Hulu’s “Buffy” reboot was axed by an executive who had no love for the original show. It turns out the “Buffy” reboot was fighting its own metaphorical monster: an executive who was outspoken about his lack of love for the original series. Despite the enthusiasm around the project, which would have introduced Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new slayer alongside Gellar’s Buffy, Gellar pointed to at least one very vocal detractor. “That’s very hard when you’re taking a property that is as beloved as ‘Buffy’ not just to the world, but to me and Chloé,” she added. “[T]he fans, they were the only reason we were doing this show in the first place,” Gellar said.

Kent said that Israel “pressured” the United States into the Iran war. It’s a dynamic we haven’t really seen before — arguably not even with the Jeffrey Epstein files (where the criticism was more of Trump’s administration than him personally). Whatever you think of Kent or his rationale, the administration has struggled mightily to explain why Iran posed an “imminent” threat.
