but she also said some stuff about Gellar not having friends onset, which Brendon said she needed to stop saying because it wasn't true

Did he? I hadn't heard that - or that statement from her but whatever. Relating to co-workers is like any relationship, IMO, (but a tv show is probably esp intense), with the initial "honeymoon" phase that can strengthen with time or sunder; and the cast may not have been literally teenagers, ED & MT being exceptions, but Aly and Sarah were about five years older than their characters? So still at the age where we're forming our identities.

sarcasm doesn't translate to text well

Alas. That's why reading Joss' statements in print can often be head-scratchy. (And even live - I've seen the video on YouTube of AH "apologizing" to Ellen DeGeneres and I don't know the context and don't watch the show, but I have no idea if she's being straight or sarcastic.)

Fox produced Buffy (and Angel). WB paid them the rights to air it for 1-5 (which Fox was actually losing money on). After S5, WB didn't want to pay the higher fee, so UPN took over.

Understand now, thanks!

Yup.

Crap.
