You have a really good point there. I'm honestly not sure what to think 
anymore regarding the series going past the 7 year mark. It pretty much all 
ride's on Sarah at this point. But honestly I think you're right about 
Scooby Doo. I have this feeling it's going to tank. And if it does that 
might be good for Buffy fans if Sarah's movie career isn't going over as 
well. So who knows. Everyone has been saying that UPN is disappointed 
with the way Buffy has been doing in the ratings. But I was under the 
impression that it's doing just as well as it was on WB, and UPN is in fewer 
households. Besides, didn't UPN have the best quarter ever because of Buffy 
and Enterprise? I'm really not that in the know about this stuff, but it 
seems to me that wouldn't be a cause for disappointment. And if the ratings 
hold up next year I'm sure UPN would still want to hang on to the show.

As for the going out in a blaze of publicity. Well you're right. If they 
did do the B/W pairing it would certainly generate buzz. And I'm sure the 
ratings would be spiked by curious viewers who just might be hooked by what 
they see. I honestly can't see it being a terribly bad thing. Joss 
experimented with it with Willow and Tara and the reception was pretty good. 
So would it be that alienating to have Buffy be with Willow instead of Tara? 
I just can't see that happening. Although I have a feeling it would piss off 
alot of B/S ships. 

Besides, UPN is known for their testosterone filled programming, what with 
Smackdown and all. I'm sure UPN would be up for some girl/girl action, 
especially when the two girls are Aly and Sarah LOL
