I grew up watching shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Charmed and many many more in the Scifi/ Fantasy/ Horror generas and I adored every episode. The fact that Sarah impacted so many lives with her dedication, is beyond anything I can thank her for. I think people admire Sarah because she committed to her character's journey through ***so many*** REAL LIFE topics that were not tackled or shown/advocated (on screen at the time). Thank you Sarah, and to all of Buffy's cast and crew. 💖 👑

Our children were in college when ‘Buffy’ was on and they just couldn’t believe how much I really liked the series. Sarah is so very talented. The cast had wonderful chemistry and James Marsters as Spike was superb. It’s still one of my very favorite TV series. Of course, Giles (Anthony Stewart Head was my favorite male character (I’ve liked him since he did those coffee commercials) and also really like his singing voice too.

[@wonderwalledit]

Yeah, Anthony has a great singing voice! :-)💓.

That makes me so happy to Sarah here. She was my childhood and is an inspiration for many people. I hope she'll get more roles in the future. We missed her.

[@alexperaza9475]

Graham: "You lived" Michelle: "No actually I didn't. I died MANY times on that show" This is so true 😂

[@thejason347]

Depends, wether you consider twice to be many. I guess it is, compared to normal people.

[@blackdogbrown]

@TheJason I always counted it 3 times (although they say twice) because she gets drowned again when she's in the tunnel with Faith fighting off vamps. She's dead for a good 30 seconds to a minute, and *SOMEHOW* she comes back to life, and she says, "I hate it when they drown me." Til this day, I don't know *WHY* that was never addressed. But I personally count that as her 2nd time dying and her season 5 death is the 3rd time. BUT in this instance she may be also thinking about season 3's The Wish. And her neck gets snapped by the Master. So with all that said, *TECHNICALLY* she did die "many times" even if the show only said "twice".

[@spaceidiot200]

still has nothing on Supernatural

[@thejason347]

Haha, but I don't think she actually died there. Since there was no reanimation. I assume she just played dead so the vampire would let go. The line is just funny that way. But you're certainly right about The Wish. Sarah would count that one, even if Buffy wouldn't.

[@heathernks8]

@@blackdogbrown She flatlined at the end of season six, too. After Dark Willow enters the operating room, we hear the equipment flatline after the doctors clear out, so she died at least 3 times and as many as 6 if we count these times, too!

It's so, so good to see her on TV again and doing well. I was only 6 when Buffy aired, and every single morning before school from 2nd grade to 9th, I'd wake up at 5a.m. to watch reruns while I ate breakfast and got ready. Buffy/SMG really helped shape who I became as a person. I was that weird, shy, horror-loving little girl, and having a female main character that was THE badass of the show yet still had warmth and compassion made me feel like I could be a badass too. She was the hero, not the helpless. That exposure at such a tender, impressionable age was everything, and NO ONE else could have played that role as perfectly and with such complexity.

I used to date a guy that lived next door to her in nyc. He told me never to talk to her, and so for two months whenever I saw her or Freddie in the hallways I wouldn’t speak. Finally one day I was on an elevator with her and I said ‘I’m sure you probably hate this, but Buffy changed my life’ and she said ‘why would I hate that? And how come you never say hello? We go to the same coffee place every morning’ lmaooo she schooled the hell out of me. Point is, she seems super into being Buffy and is well aware what it means to people.
