We should also remember that Joss had to get special permission to air OMWF on UPN originally because it was too long.

libradude, of course there are other ways to watch Buffy. I own the DVDs. But there are so many people discovering it on Netflix who have no idea that the OMWF episode is the edited version with scenes missing. I would also like to mention that hulu's version of Buffy is also the HD widescreen remastered episode from season 2 on, except for the musical. The musical episode is the proper length.

Then he tweeted he should investigate the "Blu-ray issue", but that was 2 years ago, and he never said anything else. I do find his silence very puzzling, he's not one to shy away from a big issue. I'm surprised he would be scared of Fox.

Now that is the kind of self-insight and questioning that I love to hear from Joss. I so want a new "Buffy" ... I have every confidence that Joss will find a new in, a new statement, a new rhythm, a new reason to speak ... and we will be wow'ed. More adolescent girls with superpowers please.

New viewers are just as likely to be turned off by the standard version of the show as the HD version (especially young viewers today, who expect widescreen everything).

Okay, but the viewers who get hooked on the show may feel cheated to learn that they are watching a different version. And yes, the changes are significant enough that these are new versions altogether.
I'm not sure why fans are expected to shrug off the botched handling of one of the most beloved TV shows of all time just because there are other versions available, especially with the technology we have today. There's really no excuse for the monstrosity Fox has rushed to produce.
