Buffy ,'Lessons'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I don't get it. The author seems to say that it would have lasted a lot longer [nine or ten seasons] but no one would have cared [disappeared without a trace]? And I think that the word "only" should not preface "nine or ten excellent, groundbreaking seasons".

Depending on your definition of the words.
He's being sarcastic.

To be fair Frank, since Allyson's (and Kristen's) knowledge about the show comes directly from Tim it's probably more complete and accurate than that possessed by anyone outside the production itself.
