So you win the first part. Now... how about that second part? That one of Buffy's new powers is the ability to regenerate from death, like Jenny did?

So add super-speed to Buffy's list of powers.
Well, Buffy was already super fast (Not speed sound level), and dodging bullets. But that is incredibly of superheros Good previews

I wouldn't know the answer... don't watch Dr. Who. *sheepish grin* ETA: Looked her up on Wiki, and this caught my eye That it? Jenny was sort of a "test tube baby" created unwillingly from the Doctor's DNA. At the end of the episode she was killed, and mourned by the Doctor, but afterwards she got up fully healed and rushed off into the wild blue yonder (or black yonder). So apparently she is able to regenerate back even from death. TimeLords (of which the Doctor is one) can regenerate when they're fatally injured, but they get a new body when they do, which Jenny didn't. It may be that Buffy has a Wolverine-like healing factor and can regenerate back from death, although obviously she won't find that out until she's killed. If so, it has interesting ramifications for the Slayer line... what happens if you get an unkillable Slayer? Makes me wonder... in Fray we're told that Slayers continued to be empowered but none were "called" to take up the role of Slayer until Melaka. Maybe new Potentials continued to get automatically Slayerized, as they do now, but no new Slayer was called because Buffy is still alive until the 23rd century? Probably not, though. I don't think Georges would give us a spoiler like that.

So if Buffy is unkillable, perhaps Future dark willow is Buffy with a transformation spell (stay with me) Or there are other reasons, perhaps Willow takes this power from Buffy at some point before the end of season 8. Making Willow the one who is unkillable.
My reason for thinking this is Ripples. Fray being called may be a ripple from the death of Buffy's "unkillable" slayer power being killed while within Willow. This would link why it had to be Buffy with the Scythe that killed Willow.

May have nothing at all to do with being unkillable, or being able to regenerate from death.

Are you ready for this. I figured many people would have figured this, but I'm the only one I see so here I am with my only post probably. Twilight is BUFFY. From the future. She knows all her moves. Knows her weaknesses. Resents her emotions, and now has the same superpowers Twilight has. It has also been mentioned previously that the betrayal would come...from the closet kind. Well, it obviously wont be Willow, cause we've done that, and plus the fray Arc puts that out as a possibility. Buffy has obviously had some cataclysmic disaster that will force her to go back and try to stop herself from bring doom upon the world she was supposed to protect. Plus it seems like Twilight has a bit of foreknowledge...a little too much.
Many people figure its spike cause of one cover with Blond hair, but that would fit into this seasons arc at all, and would only amount to a cheap fan-boy service anyway. Twilight could be female. She wears enough clothing to cover every part of her body, but we can't rule out glamours either. Padding even. I'm pretty sure thats armour in front of twilight.
Of course I wonder why buffy would take such a destructive path towards setting things right. Well, (And from here on its all heresay) I imagine her humanity has been almost ripped from her by the demon that is the source of her power. And that Twilight as is her/his mission to remove magic from reality wants to peel away the magic that bonded the power of the demon to the soul of a women.
Thats my guess. Theres no real clues as to the motivation of Twilight yet. But they'res just one to many vauge hints about how buffy herself is getting darker and detatched from her original moral standing, and not a lot of resolving. More like putting it off. So my guess is Buffy for Twilight.

Two things: 1. Hit the "Edit post" function instead of double-posting. 2. Twilight is NOT Buffy. If you haven't been spoiled yet, you're lucky, and you can choose to stay that way. Just stay out of the threads discussing Issues 34 and 35 (possibly #33) as well. Or any thread that's clearly marked "Spoiler". Well, 3 things actually. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks! And damn. Thought it was a good guess. But I will stay out of the forums for now until I have #33 in my hands and have read it real good. Geez I wonder who it is then...

It's not an isolated guess. We have a thread here for the speculation of Twilight's identity, and Future Buffy was quite a popular guess. I'd advise staying away from that thread now... since the Twilight reveal came out, it's no longer safe for people who want to stay spoiler-free.

I find it interesting in the preview pages that Andrew is apparently back, but Faith and Giles aren't.
Twilight must have let Andrew go or sent him back for some reason, without him knowing that the others are prisoners.

I'm fairly sure that's the confusion spell at work.

I'm fairly sure that's the confusion spell at work. Well, Satsu has specific information on what Andrew has recently been doing... "painting a magic lasso for Buffy" is a Wonder Woman reference, which means the last time Satsu saw Andrew he was aware that Buffy had superpowers. It would have to be a lot more than a confusion spell to create an intelligent interactive delusion of Andrew. Seems to me it operates more subtly than that, like it did on Xander... making him decide against sending out a search party.

Or, it means that the confusion spell uses something Satsu knows about Buffy ("she has superpowers now!") and something she knows about Andrew ("he's a geek!") and creates a plausible situation. That, to me, seems more believable than Twilight randomly letting Andrew go between issues but keeping Faith and Giles.

That, to me, seems more believable than Twilight randomly letting Andrew go between issues but keeping Faith and Giles. Or he may have had devious reasons of his own for sending him back to Buffy. Satsu says she saw Andrew just recently... I doubt the spell would go so far as to cause actual hallucinations. Twilight said it was only a temporary thing, presumably to buy him some time before Buffy came looking for her missing friends. And Buffy knows Giles and Faith are unaccounted for now, so the spell is wearing off. I guess this means that Giles, Faith and Andrew are all off the hook as far as being the mole.

If Satsu is the mole, why did Twilight have to use the vampy cats to get the location of the Scotland base from her mind?
