Hi, Penny, and welcome! I have nothing to add to what the others said, I just wanted to welcome you.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Ah I see, thanks Am-Chau. So now I can read them - Jim - yeah, with you totally on your last spoiler. So tell me then- being a devoted buffy watcher (heehee) since day 1 but not exactly up with the buffy news - is this REALLY the last season?

Thanks Nilly. I should be working - shouldn't anyone else be working or are you all free from such drudgery?

The last season of Buffy proper, starring Buffy? It seem likely, as SMG looks set on leaving at the end of it.
The last season set in in the Whedonverse? Unlikely. Angel seems set to carry on, people are talking about a show featuring Dawn, and possibly a British one based around Giles.
That's what I know at the moment.

I have things to do, but I'm also officially not well and allowed to rest. Which is worse, for the most part.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Penny, yeah, it all seems up in the air as to what happens -- interviews with the producers seem to be hinting that they'll pitch a successor series if SMG doesn't decide to re-up.
Seven years is a really long time in the life of an actor to play the same role, even for a really well-written show. It must be hell to be a good actor and buried alive on something like, um, Seventh Heaven (or any long-running but insipid show whose name I can't think of right now).

So there are two things you can do: either cling to the idea that Joss in his heaven will make all right with the Buffyverse, and leave it at that; or hope that your favourite character gets to lead the spin-off.
And pray that 'Ripper' (or possibly 'Watcher', it isn't final yet) does go ahead. A British series starring ASH would be wonderful!

Hi Penny! Good to see another Brit here.
Yeah, Jim is currently the only UnAmerican to have seen episodes from S7/4 and Firefly, so the man has to taunt us by posting spoilery white-fonted stuff which we shouldn't highlight and can't discuss. But next week I will probably join him (hee hee, gloat taunt).

Then you will join the ranks of evil whitefont posters, who must be burned at the stake and stabbed with sharp pointy things. And possibly staked, beheaded, diced and cut up into lots of little finger food sized pieces.

Work? What's that work thing you're talking about? I'm going to have to go to the dictionary to look it up.
