Well, in my opinion as the great guru himself has said this, then I take it as gospel myself, I don't think they would be able to quote Joss Whedon or Sarah Michelle Gellar as having said these things unless they actually had.

UPN Polishes Off 'Buffy'

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - She saved the world ... a lot. And now she's done.

Making official what has been pretty much a foregone conclusion, UPN announced Thursday (Feb. 27) that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" will end its seven-season run on Tuesday, May 20. Creator Joss Whedon will write and direct the final episode.

Earlier this week, Zap2it.com and other news outlets reported that star Sarah Michelle Gellar would leave the show at the end of the season. And while UPN, Whedon and 20th Century Fox, which produces the show, are talking about a spin-off, "Buffy" as we know it will end with Gellar's departure.

"I'm just glad I can say we did our best on every single episode. We didn't always succeed, but we never slacked, and I'm immensely proud of my writers, actors and crew for that," Whedon says.

Of course, the voluble and sometimes goofy Whedon has more. He jokingly adds, "I'm proud of what this show means (except for that whole weird 'Feminist' thing people attached to it. What was that all about? Girls are stupid.) I truly believe that in years to come, people will look back and say 'That was a show that was on TV.' Yessir. I truly do."

"Buffy" premiered in March 1997 on The WB, re-inventing and greatly deepening the character Whedon first wrote for a 1992 feature film. It moved to UPN last season.

Over the course of what will be 144 episodes, the show became the definition of a cult hit, developing an intensely loyal audience and having an impact on pop culture larger than its usually small viewership. Although it was usually overlooked by awards voters, it did earn a handful of Emmy nominations, winning twice in 1998 for makeup and music composition. Whedon was nominated for writing the 1999 episode "Hush."

The show is scheduled to be in repeats for the next several weeks. The final original episodes will show Buffy and Co. battling the ultimate evil known as The First.

Beyond that, no one is saying anything definite. "We're still in discussions [with Whedon], and they've ranged in many different places, many different directions," UPN Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff says of spin-off discussions. "But we're not prepared to announce anything yet."

The most prevalent rumor has concerned a new show built around rogue slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku), who will appear in the final "Buffy" episodes. Dushku, however, has signed to star in the drama pilot "Heroine" for FOX that could quash the idea.

I think that this is really true... and it makes me sad.

You can get the Entertainment Weekly magazine with the interview with Sarah... it came out today.

Boo-hoo. 🙁
 
hi guys i am new to the boards,i think they mean it will rap up witha five part story means it will take five episodes to tell the story.i agree do not kill buffy,it will hurt way to much,i can not believe it has been seven years i remeber when i saw the first episode i just got home from football practice and saw it,i was hooked from the beginning,and helped through the death of my father now i will see her through.in an articule joss said that he would if she liked let her make pop up appearnces with the spin off.so maybe that is a sign to tell us she will not die,heck even she does not know how it will all end.but thanks for all buffy
 
Buffy

I have enjoyed watching Buffy throughout the years, even though I haven't been able to see the newer episodes it will be sad when it's over. But thankfully there are dvds and reruns on tv. Sarah needed a much deserved break. Good luck to her!!!
 
The End of Buffy

I don't think I've ever felt a more double-edged sword in my life. On the one hand, I'm really going to miss watching the show. Even though I've watched for awhile, I've only been a truly obsessed fan for about a year now, so I wish I had got to experience more of it. So much of my life is revolved around Buffy, I don't know what I'll do with myself next year (maybe I'll try homework, lol). I'll miss the characters the most I think. Thank god for the DVDs, but I'll miss being able to see them continue to change and develop. However, I'd much rather have the show go out on top with a bang than drag on for years and get really boring (IMO Charmed should have ended after season 3, when it was still legit!). So while I'm really sad about the end of it all, at least there's a bright side! I also really hope that the incredible Buffy fandom will still be active, because you guys totally rock. We can keep Buffy alive through our memories! ...Okay, someone stop me, I'm getting all campy now lol.
 
Ok i think I am sad, but not because of Buffy ending, I knew that would be happening soon, not many shows last as long as this one has or at least shouldn't. I am sad because it seems that Faith will not be taking over as the news articles and rumours appeared to be suggesting. No not suggesting, confirming. I guess i should have known better than to actually believe.
 
Buffy has had a really good run!!!! I'm still gonna miss watching the show, but there is always the DVDS. I guess it's good for it to go now than to stay longer and get boring. Good luck to all the cast with whatever they do in the future!!!!
