here is a news from BBC cult:

Network executives have been speculating about Buffy's future, following continued hints that Sarah Michelle Gellar will not renew her contract at the end of Season Seven.

Speaking at the Television Critics winter press tour, CBS President Leslie Moonves (who also oversees Buffy's current US home, UPN) told reporters that he's been having talks with the show's producer, Twentieth Century Television:

"One possibility is [that Sarah] comes back, one possibility is she comes back a couple of times, one possibility is we do a spin-off," he said. "Another possibility is that we have a brand new show on Tuesday at 8 o'clock."

"We've been in discussions with Joss Whedon and 20th Century Fox, and we're talking about a wide range of different possibilities," added Dawn Ostroff, UPN president of entertainment. "We don't have anything to announce yet, but we're talking about a lot of different things."

Some UK news sources have taken this to mean that the show is definitely cancelled, which it isn't. We rang our Buffy contacts at Twentieth Century Fox in Los Angeles, who were unaware of any firm decision to axe the show.

Look's like the ball is firmly in Sarah Michelle Gellar's court on this one.

I mean can you imagine a KTVS (kennedy the vampire slayer)or even worse Dawn TVS. that definitly sucks!

but still I'll miss it pretty much!

but I kinda have that naive hope that maybe they won't stop it like that...

Alright... I'm very against Dawn the vampire slayer. I'd watch Kennedy the vampire slayer and I'd fight the First itself to get a Faith the vampire slayer series. I think Faith is so cool. I think she has "promising new series" wrote all over her. Although if this crap about "Heroine", FOX's supposedly new drama are true then Ms Dushku is gonna be a bit too busy to be slaying vampires all the way over on UPN. I know some people think Buffy should just end and not do a spin-off... I say to them ARE YOU INSANE? Now Star Trek can end any time! Haven't seen a single episode of any series, yet it seems to keep on trekin'. It's like an annoying energizer bunny of epic proportions. No offense to any Trekkers cause without a doubt you outnumber me. On other spin-off news, anyone else hear about Angel possibly ending too? I don't see much truth in it, but the WB does have a twitchy finger when it comes to dark, dramatic television that involves murder, death, and destruction. Either way you take away both shows and don't give me something back...I'm sure to have gross emotional issues that will probably only go away once I locate an AK-47 and a clocktower. So in conclusion KEEP ANGEL AND BRING ON THE SPIN-OFF...cept not DAWN

No, don't think it will be Dawn. I think it's going to be Faith...as long as Eliza has no problems with that.

Oh...I was not aware of that about Eliza. Well, that just has a high suck value! Than, I'd go with you, I'd like to see Willow with a show. But do you think Allyson would do it? She's really starting to get into a movie career.

I don't agree with You I think the only slayer to deal with evil and demons should be faith. she's the only one who could akeit interesting to me. she has a dark past and would have to deal with her issues. but I think kennedy the vampire slayer will be boring like hell. it will only be a repeating of buffy. and I think joss wouldn't be interesting in doin' that. he sais if SMG leaves the show, BTVS would go with her. so a centric kennedy spinnof or a slayer centric spinnof is dead when eliza refused it. I really have the feeling it's gonna be willow. I mean she's the most powerful caracter, has huge issues with her destroying the world thing. the only caracter that would also be interesting would have been spike. but we already got another vampire with a soul. James marsters said in a interview that spike and buffy will be together at the end. but he said that it won't be hat we expect. so I can't figure now if he's gonna even be in a spinnof. but I sooooo hope so.

what I think about the potential is that Joss has bigger plan for them than just beeing an rmy ready to die for the cause. if not I don't understand why the first is wanting to kill the so much. I think they're really important in the plan, but i can't understand yet. I'll let you know when I find out.

hey and talking about alyson's movie career, do you think that a small part in american crap pie 3 is really what can be called a movie career...?

I agree with you about willow and kennedy, except if kennedy dies in the final, she'll have to be in a willow spin-off. but maybe the willow spin of won't be about saving the world...because of a mission, but in memory of her friend buffy. and maybe because that's the only thing she can do... I mean she's been doin'it for 7 years... so I don't think that if buffy's gone she'll stop. but a kennedy spin-off would sucks!

there's one thing about the potential that I don't get. remember what the guys told buffy when she went back in time in get it done. they said she was the last slayer. that leads me to 2 questions: what about faith? and if buffy is the last one, what's the point with the potentials, they'll never be activated if we believe in their theory. so once again why is the first wanting to kill them so much. if the oracle (remember he spoke to anya and giles) and the creators of the slayer said right, the first don't have to be afraid of them. they can do nothing against the first. maybe I'm torturing my mind about them too much...but I really can't wait to see what's gonna happen to them.

I've been rewatching "get it done to make sure"...and you're right they just spoke of the hellmouth. and the oracle in showtime didn't say anything about it... I think I made my own fantasy...oops

but the oracle said somethin important .the first is here because of buffy. I mean because she's leaving. well he didn't say it exactly but that was what giles understood in it.

and he also says that the first can not be killed. so that he'll have to get back in the hellmouth and someone will have to keep it shut.

but I think we haven't thought about everything could happen. what if the first wins at the end...so the opening of the helmouth wouldn't be the big issue. that could lead to a very interesting spinn-of. ok it's not the greatest end of all, but what a big surprise! i don't think this will happen, but that would have been cool.

I agree with what you say about willow, she doesn't look like a leader now, but I'm sure they'll find a way to make her be. and maybe she'll show some skills till the end of the series. let's forget about willow fighting evil in memory of her friend. that sounds bullshit! I think she'll be doin'it 'cause that became her life...

that's funny you talk about joss interviews because I've been thinking that he may be playin' with us. well I can't wait to find out!

Í love it too! but I don't think that's what gonna happen.'cause this would mean buffy has to die not to be in the spin-off and I don't think joss want to do that or he will have to find a huge excuse fo her to quit. have you heard that the title of the last episode (ever :-( )is "chosen"? I think that faith is goin' to die so a SIT will be chosen...but I really wouldn't like to have another slayer centric series. I mean BTVS is so perfect that I don't want to be desapointed in kennedy the vampire slayer. please joss choose willow.I've read an interview of alyson saying that she would be interested in a spin-off as long as joss is involved in it. and joss really seams to be doin'a spin-off...soooooo I really think it's gonna be willow. and i think spike will be in it. he has to be ! I mean he's the most interesting character of the show.

groupwave

haven't you read the spoilers...? ok if you don't wanna know don't read what's following...
