I would have laughed had it not been so sad.

I think after 7 years of playing the same character, and after the final season where Buffy turned into a kind of whining harpy, she's entitled to her need to distance herself from the character. It's too bad she did it in such an offhanded, rude way, however. She can kiss any Joss invites to be in anything else goodbye.
That's in stark contrast to someone like James Marsters, who emphatically said on the Rove Live show (in Australia) that he would more than welcome a chance to revisit the character of Spike.
I have to think to myself, did she really hate Buffy that much?

here is what sarah said-
In the latest Big Issue, Sarah Michelle Gellar discusses why she didn't want to carry on making Buffy.
"You think about it ever year for eight years (sic): when is the right time? But all the signs pointed to the eighth year. I was emotionally and physically exhausted. I wasn't being challenged in the way that I needed any more.
"I really didn't have any [input]. Maybe I should have, 'cause then we wouldn't have got so lost. It took me a while to work up the nerve to say something.
"It didn't feel like Buffyå But it's easy to be vocal now, because Joss isn't going to be yelling at me tomorrow."
okay,now here is my interpretataion of what she said-
"blah blah blah blah buffy made me famous blah blah blah blah whine whine whine blah blah blah
i will be reduced to a b movie actress in 5 years blah blah blah blah freddie prinze jr tarnished his fathers legacy blah blah blah david caruso.
"Hamsters is nice."

Joss has said many times that he would have been leaving Buffy after 7 years even if the network had given Sarah a ton of money to stay....
He had covered the stories he had to tell on the show and was ready to end the show
Select to view spoiler:
once he had buried Sunnydale in a hole and
spread Buffy's power to thousands of previously
'potential' slayers, he had really ended an arc
So personal?
I would take Joss creating a show w/out Sarah
before I would take a show with Sarah created by someone else.... JMPO
Of course Joss has also said many times that he was not done w/Angel, and had more stories to tell
and that he has many stories for many of the characters in the Buffyverse...
but regardless I think Joss was ready for BtVS to end when it did
so I cannot blame Sarah for leaving when he was going to anyway

What opportunities for fun and games Whedon missed by not calling the Firefly/Serenity opus The Malcolm Reynolds Show 
Of course, Purplebelly looks forward to the day that the good ship gets a respectable company

Does she ever stop whinning?
On another related note. I've been watching the Buffy series one per night for some time and will complete the sixth season in a few days. But, I noticed something.
All the character have evolved. Xander, Willow, etc and even the newer ones. Things happened to them and the character changed. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. That is, all but one. That one being Buffy.
If you look throughout the series things happened to Buffy, but when she came out of the end of that tunnel, she was the same character as before. Nothing really changed. The character in the first episodes is pretty much the same character in the ones I'm watching now. She is the same spoiled little brat that she's always been. But, if anything changed it's that the character, it's that she's devolved. She became more of a brat.
Quit frankly I see this as Sarah's fault. Every time I saw Joss do something to the character that would have changed her, it seemed as though Sarah wasn't able to pull it off. And from what I've seen of her in other things, this isn't far from the truth. In fact, IMHO, I would say it's dead on.
Let her whin and stomp about. People will see it for what it really is, then her career will be over and all of us will be saved from having to listen to this drivel.

Every time I read an interview with Sarah, it seems like she just never really appreciated what Joss did for her career.
She seems very ungrateful and rather negative about the whole experience. A lot of actors may want to move on to new things, I understand that, but she wouldn't have anything to move on to if it wasn't for Joss.

Any of you ignorant clowns ever stop to think what Joss Whedon would have done WITHOUT Sarah? Don't you realize what SHE did for him? If Buffy had flopped because of inept acting on the part of the main character, none of you would know who Joss Whedon is today.
Sarah's acting on the show was so good that it is constantly being overlooked by so-called movie editors in these forums. But if you mentally block out her character from ANY episode, you get NOTHING left. They just don't make sense without her subtle input. That is the mark of great acting. You don't notice it, but without it the show would have been a great zero.
Sarah seems to be a wonderful person who -- not even slightly whining -- declared it was time for her to move on. Why can't you all understand that, and the fact that the story has two sides?
