So what now, eh?

[chosen_one]

So what will Joss and the gang come up with now to keep the series going. I mean it can't still be Buffy the Vampire Slayer if she stays dead can it?

They are going to have to think up a great way to bring her back to keep the fans interested. There are a few possibilities that i can think of but they may not be very good.

1) The PTB bring her back coz she plays a major role in the final battle between good and evil. I know they did this with Angel but no one ever said what side he'd be on...so a completely evil Buffy could be on the cards.

2) Them monks who created the key could be hugely greateful for Buffy's selfless act and bring her back.

3) Some god somewhere could be hugely grateful for her selfless act and bring her back.

4) Spike, not being able to live with the fact that Buffy has gone, somehow manages to turn her into a vampire. (Dunno how it would work but it's a possibilty.)

And finally (Worst case scenario here),

5) They could decide that they've had enough of making Buffy episodes and decide not to bother with a sixth series.

It's gonna be tricky for them to come up with any good ideas about the next series, and if anyone knows anything else, TELL ME!!!!

1) Buffy is back as a vampire slayer nextseason/firstepisode
2) She will be brought back/ressurected
3) Joss says it won't be cheezy
4) Her ressurection will probably not involve Angel/inter- dimetional travel/or me

heres what me reckons

Buffy says to Dawn: "Live......for me."

Dawn created from Buffy.

Buffy and Dawn essentially one and the same person.

Buffy can be created from Dawn.

Buffy worked this out and threw herself off the tower thingy

Buffy will come back.

[Celchu]

Unless dawn turns into buffy? meaning the sixth series could start some years down the line during the final battle between good and evil

[RichC]

that would mean no more michelle trachtenberg

uproar

not good for story really....nah now dawns in they will have to pull something amazing to get her out

seeing as she didnt die the other night

[marinelv]

I'm telling you all i bet it is the Dream scenario.

It might be she fell asleep for awhile and they go to fight Glory REALLY this time and stop everything from occuring.

Or like the oracles in Angel, Buffy gets told she can have the whole fight back and can change her fate by stopping everything earlier.

Might be cheezy but so thats the best i can think of.

[Champ]

I reckon Joss Whedon doesn't know yet either, and he's just gonna keep an eye on the speculation occurring on the major buffy forums (not this one, obviously ) and then pick the one he likes best.

[Foxy]

Her body died but didnt mean her soul/spirit did?

Thought it had been stated in an interview that it wouldnt be a cheesey thing like a dream or an alternate universe Buffy.

[Ironheart]

Does anyone else remember one of the things Buffy said to Dawn?

"Tell Giles I've figured it out."

Not sure what it means...but it must mean something.

[Jackel]

she ment that shed figured out what "death is your gift" ment
and that her blood could seal the portal as well as dawns

[t_rexaur]

Is everyone forgetting the whole thing Angel did to try and give Darla her second chance. Couldn't they do that?

[Turbo_Nutter]

But as Angel and Buffy are now on two different networks, would this give xover epps a major hurdle to overcome? if at all possible

[liam cox]

joss said that the wouldn't be any cross overs next season, but saying that there wasn't really any cross overs in this season... (there probably was it's just i can't remember)

[chosen_one]

There were the odd cross overs. Namely when Harmony showed up and Willow phoned Cordelia to warn her and Cordy thought that Harmony was a lesbo, then willow tells her that she is a lesbo. And at the end of 'There's no place like Plrrtz Glrrb' or whatever it's called.

Who would do the challenges though? Xander?

[OllyB]

Well perhaps someone very rich and used to huge phone bills would like to phone that Scfi news number thats on sky one teletext seeing as they seem to know all the answers.

[Mama|D'MenTo]

Troo Troo.. St00pid Sky 1 Faks.

[The_Allmighty_Mr_T]

Or as ive explained before, they could have a new slayer played by the hot lisa kudrow, much better than the pathetic sarah michelle gellar

[Foxy]

Actully Lisa turns up as a grown up Buffy next season
