Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Officially Over
tstoneman writes "Say it ain't so! Yahoo has an article says how SMG herself confirmed the rumors of the series demise. Even though it is clearly in its twilight, it's still one of the vest best shows on TV. It however points to the fact that a spin-off will emerge, hopefully one that is more successful than Angel."
So, the slayer got slayed?

One man's ceiling is another man's floor.
Perhaps a more '2000' reality based vampire show is in order, where the vampires vote each other off the show :)
Do you need a website upgrade?
Now the public can have what it has been craving for YEARS... a sequel to the original movie :-)
(btw, I AM just joking)
Damn you Sadam!.. now we bomd the crap out of Iraq!!!!
Thank God....
...is that they're making a sequel to the Scooby-Doo movie.
After the picture on the site it's linking to, I might be thinking "vest" too... and other words that end in the sound made by "est"...
Oh, I missed the section of the article where they said that "all the cast will be taken out and ritually shot at the conclusion of filming the last episode". I suppose that's why you'll miss them, since obviously their careers will be over and they'll never do anything else again.
Yes, I couldn't agree more. No show has done more for vest wearing in the past 50 years than Buffy the Vestpire..er, Vampire Slayer.
I love it when personal anecdote trump statistics.
No geeks I know watch it.
Therefore, buffy can't possibly be a geek show.
Never mind the fact that the show's cancellation was posted to Slashdot.

The only reason the show is going to be 'respun' after Sarah leaves is because she's the title character and a Buffyless Buffy has to be called something else.
Sarah's leaving, it doesn't mean the franchise is closing down, though it's hardly surprising that she'd want to spin it that way.
Me, I'm secretly hoping for a crossover spinoff from Buffy and Enterprise, where a new slayer named Gargravarr rises up in The Fray's post-slayer universe, and travels by starship from world to world to (and this part's key) alphabetically insult, and then slay, every demon in the known universe.
Things get interesting in the series's two-hour pilot (which happens to also be it's season finale) when she crosses paths with, and consequently teams up with, Malcolm Reynolds and crew. The finale (aired in week two) centers around a final confrontation with the Big Bad: the mysterious yet ugly Reavers.
If only TiVo made new shows based on the ones I like...

"Buffy was... She was a fantastic celebrity..." You've a bit of a problem with that whole fantasy/reality thing, don't you?
Any time a bad girl got me down and ignored me and played with my heart and wallet, Buffy was an adequate mode to relax by romantically. She was a fantastic celebrity and she will be missed by me and many who are like me.
In the interest of efficiency, I feel you should have refrained from beating around the bush and limited this comment to "I jerk off to Buffy everynight".
Good day to you sir.
The worst thing about recent vampire movies/TV shows, and books (basically since Anne Rice) is that they have this tendancy to turn what used to be undead badass demons into angsty wimps. If I see another angsty vampire, I swear, I'm going to scream.
If not all sentients are human, couldn't it be possible that not all humans are sentient either?

In the 7 years that the show ran, I don't think I ever saw an entire episode.
Some geeks flock to SMG and vampires I guess, others flock to Farscape
Others flock to decent TV.
No, I think you just plain watch too much TV.
buffy has been around for years. there have been, what, about 7 seasons of the thing and now youre complaining its being cancelled? youve only started season 1 so there are plenty of episodes left for your viewing pleasure. as each season goes by you can see buffy getting thinner and thinner, no wonder they had to end it or it would be too late!
I know you are psychotic, but please make an effort.

Still others sell their TV on eBay starting at $1 with no reserve, and buy a life with the proceeds.
Oxymoron if I've ever hear one...
Decent TV???

It should be an interesting season...
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
Why do so many folks watch it? The boobs?
You're new here, aren't you?

75% of the people that I know who are "die hard" Buffy fans are Macintosh users. Mangle that statistic as you please.
75% of Macintosh users dress up as buffy on the weekends.
mmm....mangled.
I love that this got modded informative :)

Another bad joke like that would be a real pain in the neck.

Look out, Sarah Michelle Gellar has been referenced on Slashdot by her initials. This puts her in the same category as RMS and ESR doesn't it? I'm sure this is a great thing for linux, er, um, somehow.
Okay, look, it's early, haven't had my caffeine yet.
