I think Buffy as a role model works on one level, because it's a strong female character to look up to, but at the end of the day, she's still special and the rest of us aren't, which I think kind of dampens the message. That's why Xander's lot in life feels more like what we face in the real world.
And this is why you need all the characters... each one of them has some aspect that's important. :)
I'd be amazed if the verse continued once Dollhouse is up and running.
He's already talking about bowing out of the arc he'd intended to write (the final arc of season 8). Since he's the "executive producer" it could easily continue with other writers with his blessing, the way he's handed off Angel to Brian Lynch, which may actually be better for all of us...
