Monday 15 November 2004, by schmemmm : Obviously there is no sure way to know what is truth and what is fiction because we were not there and we all know the press loves a scandal... but when I read this I immediately thouught back to when the show was ending and Freddie started bad mouthing certian people saying SMG was under appreciated and taken for granted. I remembered that whilst I respected SMG’s decision and Joss’s decision to call it quits after 7 Freddies comments really grated with me. Then recently she has been quoted as saying things on behalf of her fans like the qoute about how they don’t want a cartoon and that really annoyed me too. That SMG may or may not have made these big issue comments is inconsequential, it’s the fact that she contiually has been dissing the show and it hurts to hear it. I myself was waiting with baited breath to hear her admit she had finished with the show but now I find myself wishing she had never opened her mouth about it. I remember a fan wrote an email to Fury during S7 and asked about Faith’s return and if Buffy was being built up by tearing Faith’s character down. The episode had not yet aired but spoilers were all over the net and he admitted it was so, because the show was called ’Buffy’ the Vampire Slayer. Thankfully when the episode aired the tearing down so to speak had lessened and I remember thinking, good, that’s no way to build someone up. That’s what I liken this to, Sarah is trying to break away and stand on her own merit, but she does this by tearing down Buffy the character she played for 7 years and when she does it comes across as resentment for writers and others involved. Lots of people worked hard on this show. She is entitled to her opinion just as fans are but lots of people worked their guts off on this show, not just Sarah and with that in mind I do find her comments mildly hurtful.Wednesday 9 March 2005, by michaelsd : Yes, I was in the "middle" of the Save Star Trek mania. At least we got a box set of feature movies, and how many spin-off TV shows? 4, 5? (ok, STNG, ST-V, ST-DS9, and Enterprise). I guess that’s four (some might count "T.J. Hooker". I guess I’m not so tv web public, to hear of Sarah’s "public" airings. I never hear anything (that can believed to be real). The only Buffy DVD extra I saw her on, was the Once More, With Feeling featurette (and shocked me. Hey! Sarah. She never did comment or anything._ I just miss her. Sarah, tell me, what would Buffy do? Saturday 10 November 2007, by pooper scooper : wow you seem awfully harsh on sarah. i mean i get that you don’t think she should have said anything, but can we all just ignore how awfully buffy was written during the sixth and seventh seasons. i’m not talking her storylines, i’m talking her as a character. it seems as if they had forgotten who these people were, they were just blank slates who said their lines. i agree with SMG on that fact, they got so lost after leaving the wb that they buffy was no longer present in the show, and i don’t think that relaying that to her fans is a no no. if i recall correctly SMG was trying to keep the wb from cancelling buffy, even willing to take a pay cut, but joss was offended in the low budget for the show that he was unwilling to compromise. so don’t blame it all on herThese comments are an anwser to this article : Sarah Michelle Gellar’s ’Grudge’ Against Buffy - Spoilers
