Let's hope that *if* the story Hello magazine are running about DB taking on the Superman deal are true, that also the fact that he *supposedly* said he would still carry on in Angel is true also. I mean SMG managed to do Scooby-Doo as well as Buffy.
Back on topic, I think that Dawn has potential to be killed off, as really she's kind of superfluous really in my opinion. As is Xander, what does he really do afterall? Although I think he may just get badly injured and come close to death than actually dying.
I definitely do no think that Buffy will die, but that somehow Spike will end up sacrificing himself for her, which is when I reckon Buffy will declare some kind of *love* for Spike.
Someone also mentioned the fact that they wouldn't kill Kennedy off because they already did that with Tara - that's one reason why I think they might just do that, because we wouldn't expect them to do it again, it would come as more of a shock to have it happen twice to Willow.
I really hope that as someone else mentioned in the thread, that they do wrap it all up, as I certainly don't want to have to assume what happens next - I hate it when they do that, I like to have everything clear cut and have a neat ending.
They are going to have to leave some fave scoobies alive though, if they are still going to go ahead with a spin-off of some sort, let's just hope that whoever is left are decent enough characters to be able to hold their own in a spin off, even if they are not the central character.
