Ok let's not be annoying now and say both. Cause that's too easy. I want to know what fellow SG fans think about her roles and what she should do in the near future.

I find that I don't really enjoy her movies so much. Her acting is great. I am not attacking or anything. Everyone here knows that I love SG, more than I should maybe, but anyways....

I think I would love to see her go back to TV. I think she could possibly be lucky enough to get another smash hit show. I realize that it takes a Jem to make it these days but I think it's very possible.

Many movie stars have turned to television and have made even bigger names for themselves. Heck I hear more about tv stars than I do about my SG.

I know we would like to have it all and have her do both. But she is doing both and as far as I can see, not succeeding that well in the movies.

Her new films are either going to dvd or are taking forever to come out. And I don't want to see that for SG. I think Buffy was a huge success and she was very lucky to be apart of a show that made her famous. During Buffy, after Buffy etc, she had many roles that were pretty big. But the last while, nothing that screams WOW!

I want her back on my tv every week, I want to see SG on a hit show. One hour long preferably, not a sitcom.

I would pretty much say that she does better on TV than on movies.

Some new dramedy I think would suit her. I do think she's a fairly good actor but her movies tend to not really explore what she can do with a character (or goes through it so quickly that it seems forced).

So my vote is for TV which would give her a chance to really grow into another great character.

I would like to see Sarah on TV. I think she was absolutely admirable as Buffy Summers and I think she would do television much more justice than in the movies. I just hope if it does happen in the future it is a role she can really bring life to. Well, this is Sarah we are talking about, a talented actor. She can do that no matter what I guess.

Sadly, I don't think Sarah's movie career has taken off anywhere nearly as quickly or with the degree of success that she had hoped that it would. I wouldn't be surprised to see her back on a weekly tv show within the next few years. The transition from small screen to big screen is very difficult. There are a lot more William Shatners than Clint Eastwoods, and being a woman makes it even more difficult. Add to that, Sarah is at the transitional age (around 30) where female roles are harder to find. Simply put, she just walked away from Buffy at the wrong time in both her life and her career. In addition, I read somewhere that she and Freddie take turns acting, so that they aren't both working at the same time. If true, that is another limitation to her career. On top of all of that, for better or worse, the image of Buffy still follows her around, and that sort of typecasting can hurt an actor's career, sometimes for decades (look at Sean Connery and James Bond). Given all of that, if Sarah really wants a movie career, her work is truly cut out for her. I wish her luck, but in the real world...
