It sounded more to me like they they were on different continents to recreate the Watchers Council, and train all the new Slayers.

Don't shoot me, I'm just the new guy.

Oh gack! I hope that Buffy doesn't show up on Angel. HATE that character. Bring us somebody else, anybody else from BTVS but her. If it does happen (doesn't look like it will though) I would hope that they would make it have little to no bearing on the plot (like Angel's appearance at the end of Buffy did). Buffy had its swan song. Let Angel have its own.

Wow, we haven't seen this kind of rebellion since Amber Benson said no to her appearance in S7. I never did understand that one.

Is it lack of gratitude? Is it pure artistic belief that the character has run its course? I could go either way, because I miss Giles and Willow way more than Buffy. Strangely, Buffy was never the star of the show for me. It was always the writing and the ensemble. That character was probably the most interchangeable and could have been replaced at the right moment, but which of us could say goodbye to Spike or Giles and not miss them more?

But I have to respectfully disagree with some comments that she didn't do a good job. She may not have the depth of say, yer average Anthony Head or Alexis Denisof, but she walked into a very weird show and made it work as a supposedly empty-headed shallow teenager, who grew up and saved the world.

I {am} sorry to see her floundering in schlock like "Scooby Doo 2". She's better than that. It just illustrates what the non-Whedon entertainment world consists of. It scares me.

Hmmm..To me SMG IS Buffy Summers. I thought she was amazing and perfect as Buffy. When I see her picture in a magazine or on E! I think 'hey look...its Buffy!' Not only would I enjoy seeing Buffy on Angel but I think it is very important for the buffyverse mythology. As I watched my Buffy and Angel DVD's I couldnt say that she was my favorite charecter because for me that kept changing from Giles to Angel to Willow to Wesly to Cordy to Xander and so on, but when I look at the mass of work I think that Buffy makes you believe. Buffy pulls it all together. Buffy is the reason.

My 2 cents

i have to agree with you. sarah michelle gellar did an amazing job with buffy, and i challenge anyone to tell me she cant act. she turned what kirsty swanson ruined into a multi dimensional living breathing super hero. a woman who will forever live on within the media and tv cult groups and thats the way it should be!

I believe Amber chose not to return because they only wanted her for 'Conversations with Dead People', as FirstEvilTara, and she felt that having the character return just to be evil wasn't something she wanted to be involved in. Fair enough.

Further, I gather Joss retaliated with a (presumably tongue-in-cheek) claim that he'd planned for a big Willow/Tara happy-ever-after reunion.

I also read that at least part of the reason she didn't do a guest appearance was that she went to film 'The Grudge' in Japan. She offered to do the finale of Angel, but Joss felt having Buffy would detract from Angel being its own show.
