But being a Slayer was never one of them. I don't think we necessarily got to explore all the aspects of Dawn's character that I would have liked to have, because she kind of got swept up in the larger story.
No, I don't think Dawn was meant to be a Slayer - both mythologically and emotionally. TVGO: Given Eliza's decision, do you regret not making Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) a Slayer? There's a certain element where the loss becomes unacceptable for a happy ending, and the idea that she's been the primary Slayer behind Buffy, it felt like she should be in that mix. TVGO: Had you known that Eliza Dushku was going to pass on the spinoff, would you have killed off Faith? I had a lot to wrap up, so I let Xander ( Nicholas Brendon) have a moment of closure about her, just enough to get him to the point where he could rejoin the group for a moment of, well, "We won." You have to get yourself to a good place if you want the show to go out on an uplifting moment, which I did. TVGO: No one seemed to be too broken up about it. And it's very weird to play your death and go, "Okay, I'm done." The last shot before we wrapped her was that shot where she gets sliced. She had a good time making the show, I think. I think things with Fox weren't great and she felt ill-used - not by the show. And Emma had made it clear that she really was not interested in coming back. I wanted a death that was a real middle-of-the-battle death - the opposite of the Spike death, perfect, noble. I wanted to kill somebody, and I wanted to do it brutally and suddenly and never really pay it off. Nothing's definite, but it's as sure a shot as one could hope for. I don't know if necessarily it will be November, but she has stated time and again that she's perfectly willing to come on and make an appearance, assuming schedules work out. But if she instantly went off and attached herself to Angel, she'd be throwing away everything she'd just been given, which is her freedom. And then if true love fits into that, that would be the best thing ever. Her internal search isn't for a boyfriend, it's for herself. That was the point of the whole cookie dough speech. She wants to go and find herself - spend some time becoming a grown-up and finding out who she is, and then she can stop to find out who fits with that. She said very specifically she doesn't want to go and find a boyfriend.

TVGO: Now that Buffy is free to do whatever she likes, how will you explain why she doesn't make a beeline for Angel? it wasn't like he's cured of loving Buffy any more than Angel is. I think he feels that he was ready to sacrifice himself for her, and it was a beautiful thing, but. " I don't think he feels a sense of resolve or resolution about the relationship. I don't think he's the kind of guy that would be like, "Well, that was a fun time with Buffy.

I'm still trying to figure out how to bring him back to life. TVGO: Will you pair him with a new special someone? Like Buffy returning from the dead, it's going to be something that we're going to have to earn and play the ramifications of, possibly without making it so depressing. If it's just, "Hey, I'm back!" then that whole moment at the end of Buffy is kind of lame now. The trick is how to bring him back without losing the integrity of what he did. But that's an interpretation, and ultimately could become the interpretation if we decide to go that way. It's not quite that simple, although a lot of people have been making reference to that. TVGO: There's always Shanshu (the ancient prophecy introduced during Angel's first season that says once a soulful vampire fulfills his destiny, he becomes human). That's a conversation I'm going to be having with the Angel writers very soon. TVGO: So, how do you plan to resurrect Spike? They have a shiny blond thing to show people, and they're gonna do it. But couldn't the WB hold off on announcing it? When I spoke to you, a) it was true that we didn't know his status, and b) he was about to die on Buffy, so the less about him being on Angel in the press beforehand, the better. It wasn't until the last minute that it was actually decided that he was going to be a regular on the show. Then, days later, the WB announced that, well, Spike would be making his way to Angel next season.

TV Guide Online: I have a bone to pick with you: When last we spoke, you claimed that "no decision" had been made about bringing Spike over to Angel next season.
For example, why of all the Scoobies did Anya ( Emma Caulfield) have to die? And what's the deal with Spike ( James Marsters), who bit the dust just days after making a date with Angel this fall? For answers to those questions and more, read on.
But darnit if the show's creator, Joss Whedon, didn't leave us wanting more. We laughed, we cried, we hurled large objects at the TV in utter despair.

As far as series finales go, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's was a doozy.
