There's a line that's repeated, almost word for word, by Dream-Tara in Restless, Dracula in season 5 and by Vasuki in issue 15.
Tara:" You think you know ... what's to come ... what you are. You haven't even begun." Dracula:"You think you know what you are, what's to come. You haven't even begun."
Vasuki:"Darling Willow. Did you think I could not find you? Did you think you could hide from what you are? Or what's to come?"
Twice, this quote seemed to be about Buffy, but in issue 15, it's directed at Willow. Is there a important link between these lines or was just Joss or Drew thinking "Hey, it would be fin to re-use this line, see if someone recognizes it"?

And there is talk of doing some animations of the comics, but I'll leave that for a later Q&A

I've just read back through Scott Allie's answers, and the question regarding how many issues will make up Season Eight struck me, does Scott's answer mean that he is hoping Season Eight will be 50 issues instead of the previously determined 40 issues?
That would be great! Even if Season Eight won't finish before 2011!

Dane, you're right! He said that since it's not all written yet nothing's left in stone and he's hoping for 50 issues. Huh, pretty cool. That's the first time that more than 40 issues has been suggested! Cool.

Possible animations of the comics?! That sounds too good to be true!

3. dane5by5: A little while ago Georges Jeanty revealed that there are plans to do a "summer special" for the series after Season Eight ends in 2010, can you reveal any details of this? Like, writers, story or characters? Scott Allie: First I've heard of it ... might be a misread of something Georges said? We did have an idea for something that would sit between Seasons 8 & 9, but now we're backing off that idea. But it was never a summer special. Anyone else feeling blue? Here's the link to the interview with Jeanty where he says; After season 8 wraps there will be a Summer special that if it comes together will be amazing! buffycomics.hellmouthcentral.com/html/interviews/georgesjeanty2.htm

***ATTENTION - TYPO CORRECTION*** Guys, Scott just emailed to let me know the "fifty" was a typo regarding the total number of issues. It actually now reads: "The story will end when it needs to, and I hope it's right at forty." So again, the season will not be extended to fifty issues. Season 8 is forty issues.

But it could be more or less. I'm hoping more.

Let's not get carried away with that though, Sky. I think it's best to assume that Season 8 will be 40 issues right now. Nothing to suggest it will be otherwise.

"It's not all written yet. The story will end when it needs to, and I hope it's right at forty, but there's still some stuff left to be determined."
That suggests something. I'm not going to start betting money on it tough, just sayin' that we shouldn't put all our hopes on 40 issues, in case there'll only be 39 or less.

" And there is talk of doing some animations of the comics, but I'll leave that for a later Q&A. " I guess that one could say that our campaign for Btas wasn't so pointless after all I am really surprised that it has not been more widely reported.

Leo, the animation isn't regarding Buffy: the Animated Series. But rather making animated versions of the issues as I understand it, similar to what Marvel has been doing. Thanks for dropping by.

I didn't mean it that way Emmie, but even that kind of animation could find its way on dvd and huge sales could rise interest in Btas, for example. All this could be connected in the end, one way or another.

I'm not going to start betting money on it tough, just sayin' that we shouldn't put all our hopes on 40 issues, in case there'll only be 39 or less. I think if anything, the series would run longer rather than shorter. There's just so many storylines going on here, and with Jane already slated to bring the series to #30, I don't see Joss trying the close the season in less than ten issues. There's been so much setup, when the payoff comes, it will be epic. Not really surprised about the typo, it was likely more wishful thinking on our part combined with the typo. It's nice he sent you an email to correct it.
