Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, told SCI FI Wire that he definitely plans to revisit the "Buffyverse" in a future, unspecified TV project. "I think it's realistic," Whedon said in an interview while promoting his upcoming SF movie, Serenity. "I like my chances. But it is absolutely still too amorphous for me to make any kind of announcement about it. I'm out there trying, and there's other people trying, to put it together. But until something falls in place, I really can't say."

Whedon is especially keen on doing a movie centering on the vampire character of Spike (James Marsters). "Let's say it's a good jumping-off point," he said. As for Marsters' reported comments that he is growing too old to play the eternally youthful former bloodsucker, Whedon said: "Well, we're working. We're trying. I know. ... James is in very good shape. Keep working out, James."

Well, it's nothing official...but Woo Hoo! Buffyverse may live on!

Which can be chalked up to anything dealing with Angel. Last I heard Sarah said she did not want to play Buffy again.

No big loss. I thought she did an excellent job as Buffy throughout the series, but she was definitely getting tired of it by the end. There are plenty of characters--many of whom are more interesting--Joss could explore.

Let Sarah focus on her fabulous movie career.

In fact, while I'm a huge Spike fan and would love to see more of him, I wouldn't mind if Joss took some time to explore some of the secondary characters. I think Faith has potential, now that she's trying to reform. (Never liked her as a villain, but she's a cool ex-villain.) And frankly, I really though the character of Robin Wood had some real story potential as well. A series involving the two of them wouldn't go amiss in this household.

Just please, Joss... I beg of you, man. No more Andrew!!

I happen to enjoy her movies.

Yeah. It was totally worth bailing on Buffy to do those Scooby Doo movies. How many Oscars did those win? I lost count.

How many Emmys did Buffy win?

How many Emmys did Buffy win?

Not nearly enough . I consider the Emmys to be one notch above the Grammys in terms of credibility, which is the low end of the scale for me. OTOH, I find the Oscars pretty accurate in terms of awarding quality. They don't always get it right, but at least the Oscars give an award to someone other than Doris Roberts every once in a while.

But that's a rant for another day.

I paid she got a nice paycheck. And its not like Buffy ended becasue she was leaving.
