I haven't heard anything. I don't watch/listen to talk shows. There are tons of rumors about what SMG wants or plans, but you know what they're worth. I just don't believe she'd want to do this one part forever. There's gonna come a time when she's run out of ways to play the role. Or it just stops being fun. After six years, I'd think that this time would be sooner rather than later.

Besides, she's going to have to move on eventually. Which is going to be really painful. She's going to have to prove that she can play other roles. (Well duh! We all know she's better than that. But if you look at the movies she's been in, you'll see that nobody in Hollywood thinks she has the depth of pancake.) That's gonna be hard, and she's better off doing it while she's young.

If this was directed toward me... I thought I backed up my evidence pretty clearly... I only cited an article (from Joss), an interview (with SMG), and a convention article (from Nic Brendon) which can be found on the news section of this site. AND, with my last paragraph, I believe I agreed with your point.

And just because SMG's fiance wants her to stop doing Buffy doesn't mean she will. Last time I checked, Sarah and Freddie are not connected at the hip. What does mean something is that she may be getting bored with Buffy... but I haven't heard her say anything about that in *any* interview she's done. All I've ever heard from Sarah is glowing praise for her role.

Cool down, Furyfire

... just because I may have a different opinion than you do does not mean your opinion is wrong, so don't get so defensive! Especially when I was (mostly) agreeing with your post and simply offering a different stance on Sarah Michelle Gellar's place on Buffy in the future.

Another thing... you say that "you'd like to know where I heard that." What exactly are you refering to in that statement? I'd be glad to further explain any of my statements

If this wasn't directed toward me, well, then... forget I said anything

It does indeed... this quote also adds to the jibe-age:

Select to view spoiler:
"But next year Buffy will be much less peripheral to the climax. The climax will be the biggest thing we've ever done."

My speculation is sounding more and more relevant, or maybe I'm just reading too much into things... again.

Actually, I think you're reading too much into things. Here's why:

Select to view spoiler:

Within the FRAY section of the Buffyverse, the portal that took away the Slayer in the past also removed all demons from the world as well. At least that's what it was supposed to have done.

This leads me to believe that it wasn't Buffy who accomplished this. Because if it were, and it occurred next season, what would happen to ANGEL, both the character and the series? The fact that it also seems to have removed the magicks of the world would prove particularly trying on the sister show.

Unless a) Joss deems ANGEL and BUFFY seperate realities at this point and wouldn't have the one affect the other, or b) Melaka's demon trainer in FRAY was wrong regarding the exact purpose of the portal opened in the past and it did nothing of the sort.

What are your thoughts on this bit of information? Is there a likely way around it, or ways that stretch too thin?

Uhm, I don't think anything in the second Fray comic counts as a spoiler. They have to be assuming every Buffy fan is gonna read it.

Select to view spoiler:

But it's your thread, so I'll play by your rules. I don't see any conflict here. Remember, Buffy remains a Slayer for the rest of her life. So unless she encounters she gets killed yet again (would that be the third time or the fourth?), and irreversibly this time, she could be The Slayer That Ends Magic, ten, twenty, thirty years from now.

Of course, she can't do it before Angel and whatever other spinoffs they come up with (Spike and Dru, Vampire Bounty Hunters!) have run their course. So that just means they can't use this story to end Buffy -- unless they end all the spinoffs first, or at the same time.

Which is actually why this story will probably never make it to TV at all. Remember, Whedon doesn't own any of his TV characters -- the studio does. So they get that last word on what stories he can do. I haven't heard that they've tried to limit what kind of stories he does, but I think they'd draw the line at letting him put on a story that means no more Slayer, Vampires, or magic.
