Aw, I thought this was going to be a really good scare, not a satire. Meh... oh well, I'm sure it'll be entertaining at least.

Stalkers are nuts and they ruin it for the rest of us. The internet's been fun but it truly gets creepy out there if you dig far enough.

Feeebruaryyy? Meh.
Well, maybe it'll give me something exciting to look forward to while I'm buried up to my eyeballs in school in the Fall.

His face and body language doesn't say sorry. It says restless, anxious, uncomfortable about having to make a stupid prepared statement and stick it on the interwebs.

I'm not sure Joss has the heart to permanently kill Buffy, Willow, Xander, or Faith. Torture them til they're nearly dead, or wish they were, sure - the man has no glee until there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I think anyone else might be fair game for the chopping block, though.
Wow, can you imagine the long-term fandom implosions if any of the Core kicked it? Much less if all of them did?

I always thought Kennedy grounded Willow at precisely the moment she needed it. I don't think Kennedy had any inkling that she needed to be more of a grounding force than she thought she was, though.
I feel cranky at Kennedy because of the 'tude towards Buffy in S7. Guess that's old news, now, though. I'm mostly over it, but I still find that I'm not sure about Kennedy and Willow as a couple (Killow? Willowy?), still. Not sure why that is. Maybe it's because they're such an odd couple - but that might exactly be why Joss thinks they could stay together for so long. This is the longest relationship Willow's ever had. Maybe even the longest for Kennedy. I'd definitely say they're committed.
As for Kennedy personally, she's still possessive and jealous, but I can tell she's matured some, and she's apparently grown into a good leader and a good Slayer. In fact, if Buffy were gone I can only think of 2 who might be suitable to lead in her stead - Faith (first) or Kennedy. (I feel confident in Satsu's ability because Buffy's confident in her ability, but I haven't been persuaded that she's cut out to lead an army. Lead a squad, yes. Army, not sure.)

Well if Future Dark Willow was telling the truth about only having enough magic to show Fray a vision in TOYL, present day Willow is stronger. Why do i think she went dark again? Buffy pissed her off or caused her to go dark in some way, I think that was pretty clear. That was my initial reasoning, too. But now I think it's more complex and has a lot less to do with being pissed off, and probably a lot more to do with the actual act of magick being drained from the world. My pet theory is that at the time it happened, Willow was going to die. She did some mondo spell which preserved magicks inside her; the side effect was perma-DarkWillow and immortality, which she then had a few hundred years to sit around and think about, before vampires, demons, and Slayers were mysteriously back in action. Sometimes it's hard to stop trying to figure this out! It's like one of those gigantic jigsaw puzzles I occasional dig in to. I'll get a lot of the outside pieces, and then I'll stay up all night trying to figure out the big part in the middle, for which I'm having a hard time making any pieces fit. But I feel like I'm sooo close to a solution, if I just keep poking at it a little more...

Sound like a plan to me! Although I would really like to live in Buffy's house. I love that house. It'd be pretty awesome if Sunnydale were an actual place. It'd probably have a thriving Buffy tourist business. I know the house they used for external shots is real, but I'd feel really creepy going to see it and feeling all fansquee over it. I guess they tore down the lot they used to film the downtown scenes (the cinema, coffee shop, wedding dress store)? If I had the money I'd buy it and turn it into a holy site for pilgrimages or something. Btw - thanks buffyfan21 for confirming Sunny-D's population. I totally knew it felt about that small. While it is still close enough to Santa Barbara and LA to share traffic and business. One Starbucks, though? I know they've got 43 churches and 12 cemeteries...

I find myself wondering what kind of betrayal this is going to end up as.
Is it betrayal as in: I betrayed my feelings so that I could order my friends to go into battle.
Is it betrayal as in: I've secretly been telling Twilight all our plans! mwehehehe!
Is it betrayal as in: I'm betraying my calling as a Slayer by becoming a Tibetan yak farmer.
Or something else?
Re: my previous post about a fifth column. Does anyone think there's anyone that would sell Buffy out to Twilight?
I also feel like the consequences of Buffy's actions at some point will be that magic is banished. But I also think that she will know it. I don't think it'll come as a surprise to her. I also don't think that Willow can live without magic. I think after S6, she is so connected that she can no longer disconnect. I know that Buffy knows this.
Do you think she could possibly sacrifice Willow, and the Slayer line, to stop Twilight, by banishing magic from the world forever? I think she could. In TOYL, think that FutureWillow thought that she could stop something detrimental from happening in the past, if she killed PastBuffy.

My newest-newest theory now is that there is a fifth column inside the army, and that the betrayer is someone close to either Willow or Buffy. When the big reveal happens, someone will try and take revenge on the betrayer, which will mean fisticuffs if one of the two (Will or Buffy) still wants to protect or redeem the betrayer.

It was a (failed), tongue-in-cheek joke.

Awesome! I am glad she verified it on her blog so we aren't sitting around wondering if it is her. Totally. I hate impersonators with a fiery passion. There was a kerfuffle yesterday on Twitter (someone pretending to be Amy Acker, but had taken part of Julie Benz' photo) and Julie decided to try and verify her account because of it, but apparently they need you to jump through a few hoops first. I can understand that, but apparently if you don't have an official website, you can't be verified, and she didn't have a website. Sooo... I don't know what she was going to do about that, but the point being is that it's so freaking irritating and really creepy when people get on Twitter and start impersonating people. I mean, c'mon. Anyway, the fake Amy Acker deleted her acct., or it was deleted for him/her, within a few minutes after the kerfuffle, probably because of the mini-mob of Whedonites that called him/her out on the fakeyness. Yay go us.

I was wondering that as well! That would be really pretty neat if she's in on the action. I kind of assumed that if Felicia could, she would, but I knew next to nothing about Emma. After spending some time on her MySpace today though (mostly listening to her music selections - she has great taste), I've learned she is one cool chick. So yeah, if she's contributing, I'm excited to see what she's bringing to the table.

Why are you guys dissing Nicholas? Come up with a conterargument instead. Of course, I don't understand exactly what he meant by the last sentence, so maybe the sarcasm and the face-palming is well deserved, even though it's not exactly constructive. It was my attempt to show that I don't know what to say, so I'm gonna formally lodge my intial confused response, and slip away quietly without causing too much of a scene. Or try to.

It's kind of a joke about Dawn not knowing who Oz is. Oz and Cordy are the only ones of the original core group who weren't around when Dawn poofed into being and got retconned. I know the retcon means that Oz knows Dawn/Dawn knows Oz. But, yeah, so... not too funny the way I tell it. lol
But... I don't know, Oz has always operated on a whole different level when it comes to intuition and perception, it'd be interesting if he could sense that she doesn't actually belong in the timeline. I don't think it'll come up, though.
