I'm sure many of you have already seen the TV guide insider
proclaiming that 'Buffy' actress Sarah Michelle Gellar will not be
starring as our favorite blonde herione again after season 7 ends
this May, it also says that Joss may reunite our fated lovers Buffy
and Angel in the season finale, which i personally have been waiting
for since Angel left Good old Sunny-D at the end of BTVS season 3 but
i never wanted it to happen like this. Here's my wonderful little
rant about why...
My parents had an exceptionally bad marriage, even though they had
been separated many times in the course of my life it finally ended
in divorce when i was around 12, the same year that Buffy began. When
my 'rents were fighting, when i was being bounced around between both
parents and a multitude of relatives and family friends the one thing
that was a constant in my life was Buffy. Every week no matter where
i was or what was happening 'BTVS' was there. Moving around so much i
didn't have many friends so Buffy, Angel, Xander, and Willow became
friends for me and as crazy as it sounds Giles even became a sort of
father figure to replace my own absent parents. And then you have
Buffy and Angel. I can never remember my parents saying that they
loved each, i can never remember them telling me or my brother that
they loved us so i didn't even know what love was but seeing Buffy
and Angel, so beautifully written, i began to understand, i began to
learn just what love was about, what it meant.
Joss Whedon created a friendly coccoon in which i could hide when the
yelling and screaming and constant moving became too much, he taught
me about life and love and now that safe haven is ending. Perhaps
i've gotten too involved wiht the show but it hurts. This is a
piviotal piece of my childhood, my life, coming to a close.
'BTVS' and later 'Angel' kept me from falling apart several times
over the past years and it will always be very special to me and i'm
so sorry that it looks to be ending. Even though the chances of Joss,
or any of the writers of Buffy reading this, are non-existant i
wanted to thank them. It's been a hell of ride. Thanks for taking us
along.

"Now leaving Sunnydale. Come back soon."
