Maybe that'll pass muster in a Steven Seagal film or a bad community theater production, but to act well, you need to know a hell of a lot more.

Hmm...here's my take on things. First of all, I can't imagine anyone else as Buffy. SMG played the part brilliantly. Yeah maybe Joss could have found someone better for the part, and maybe I'd have still watched not knowing any better, but I refuse to believe it would have been as good. Close maybe, but not quite.

Funny to say, cause I never really liked the character of Buffy, but she was center of the show. I didn't like Buffy, but I did like her interactions with Xander, Willow, Giles, and the rest. Without that center, the show could never have worked.

As for her opinion that the show got lost. Her right, but I do disagree with her. Without Sixth season you lose so much. All that darkness leading to the understanding at the end of the season--that yeah, there are bad things in this world and sometimes it's hard to live here, but that you have to try all the same because there are also good things and that those things are worth living for. That theme in my opinion builds brilliantly on the season 5 theme of sacrifice--because it says that there is more to life than sacrifice. And there is if you ask me. So season six--super important in my mind. Season seven I enjoyed, in the sense that it built on the mythology of the show. But I think there are too many plot holes in the over arching show for me to ever truly love it. That said, I did still enjoy it--and imo it's still better than season four. I know a lot of people disagree with me on these last two seasons (including SMG apparantly), but all the same I think they did hold value.

As for her comments on Joss. I'd just like to say I can't hear her tone of voice in this snippet. Maybe she's being flip, and joking around. Or maybe her and Joss really did get into disagreements. Why not? These things happen. I don't hold it against either of them, you work that long on something you're passionate about and there are going to be disagreements with those working with you. I doubt the two of them hate one another, and I doubt in the long run that there will be all that much animosity between them.

Lastly(because in my usual style I'm rambling on long after I should have stopped ) I think that SMG is a talanted actress. I loved her in Cruel Intentions, and I thought she was nothing short of brilliant on Buffy. She left the show when she thought it had run its course, and Joss agreed with her--so I don't have any real feeling of illwill towards her.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who loved season six (and not just because of "Once More With Feeling and those sexy Spike scenes.) Yes, it got dark, but I think it showed that even heros go through tough times but do get through it, and back on track.

And who can forget Buffy's nemesises(ssss), the nerds? They were so funny!

Season seven was not a favorite (plot holes the size of craters) but it did wrap things up for a grand finale.

What can I say? It was a great show. Joss, come back, we love you Joss....
