I love Darla! I think she's a really interesting character that I love to watch.

Xander and Anya breaking up. Xander and Anya were very symbolic of what Willow and Tara, Buffy and Spike/Angel could be and wanted to be. The symbolism was SHATTERED first when Xander left Anya and then a light of hope and then oh no it was taken away when Anya screwed Spike. and Anya's death. I feel like her death was unnecessary and sort of disrespectful to her character. Like almost every other death in the Buffyverse had meaning: Joyce: I think her death is what made Buffy such a good teacher/mother figure for the potentials and Dawn in season 7. Tara: Bringing out Dark Willow, almost ending the world. Spike: Saving the world. her death was very fitting to her character. But it was a bit disrespectful to the character who was wildly popular for four years and her death scene lasted for less that one second. Also, she didn't have a greiving period. When Andrew told Xander, there were no tears and he just kind of accepted it. That always bothered me. I do understand what you're saying, but that's what happens in big battles. Yes, it's unfair and has no point to it, but it happens, and did happen with Anya. And trust me, I'm more than sure that Xander did grieve for her after. But there was something more epic and bigger happening at the time that he couldn't express his emotions. A bit like when Tara died and Willow went evil. There wasn't any time, at that point, for grief from Buffy, Xander and eventually Dawn. But again, after the bigger event is stopped, there is time for grief, which I'm sure they all had. And I've never been a shipper either barryshaft.

It doesn't bug me because at that age, relationships don't usually last forever and they live with the constant struggle of demons and the like so it's realistic that they end badly. The only relationship to survive the destruction of Sunnydale was Willow and Kennedy's by the way.

The way I think of it is that all the potential slayers of ages 12 -25 were chosen. Others surpassed their time to be called. And in 'Potential' Buffy explains to the potentials that her death will make one of them the next slayer. She probably said this because she didn't want to get into the whole Faith story, because it's complicated for them to grasp, especially with all they've had to take in lately.
Also, I think that when Buffy died in 'The Gift' and then was brought back in 'Bargaining part 1' that the cloak was lifted and The First could identify the potentials whereas before, their identity was hidden or harder to find. It's just my theory on it all.

I'd love one. And it's more a possibilty now that it ever has been before, what with all the movie returns of TV shows like Sex And The City and The X Files. I can see it happening, however won't get my hopes up. And I'd be interested to hear how Alyson feels about it, cause we haven't heard much from her regarding it lately.

I don't know what to expect from this arc, but I can't wait to find out. ;D Part 1 was so good!
And now you've pointed it out erik, I can see Willow and Kennedy splitting in this arc. Maybe Kennedy betrays Buffy, therefore betraying Willow. I mean Kennedy had a go at Buffy in Part 1.

Interesting idea, but very unlikely. Especially as all the dead characters would probably be saved cause he'd know about their deaths.

I cried the first time I saw Buffy die and when Tara left Willow in 'Tabula Rasa'.

I don't want Glory to return, but I'm surprised that she didn't cross my mind before.

Even if Kumiko didn't die from Buffy stabbing her, I'm sure the other slayers took care of her. She was obviously unconscious after that blow, and if you look closely as it happens, it looks like her magic was drained from her, making her vulnerable.

With the season 8 comics, I think that this game could do quite well.

Hands down Drusilla at the moment. And I'm quite looking forward to seeing her again. We haven't seen present day Dru since 'Crush' in Buffy season 5.
I also think that the betrayal that was confirmed in 'Anywhere But Here' will happen in 'Time Of Your Life part 4', judging by the cover for Issue #19.

I actually love both covers. It'll be hard to choose.
