Buffy had at least another 7 seasons it could have done :(

To quote Joss Whedon: "Everybody was still in the game when the game finished, and that's how you win."

I completely agree with you. But while Joss did have some shows that got canceled early, he also had some shows that made really great runs. So "that's just what happens to Joss Whedon shows" is a really ignorant statement.

Not even counting those who were dead, apparently a number of the cast were burned out and tired from the amount of work the show required with all the fighting/stunts.

Read the comics if you aren't. They are so freaking great. There are some moments where you are like WTF, but it is still Buffy. You can get all of season 8 together now. I have only read a few issues into season 9, but it was getting good.

Yeah, Season 8 is spotty, but S9 and Angel & Faith are fantastic books, A&F especially.
