Well, not me, certainly. I just can't resist those little black spaces of nothingness, just sitting there and being all alluring-like. Spoilers are the bane of my life - I want to have the willpower not to look, but it's hard. So very hard...

Cheers,

hey, there's a big difference between speculation and spoilers. I for one didn't highlight the spoiler text. I am a recovering spoiler-aholic and I am doing really good this year at staying away from them. But don't worry, I did already know about the Angelus one. I've known that since like the summer.
Warrick: You didn't have to wound that man.
Mal: Yeah, I know. It was just funny.

I posted this on one of the other threads, but I really like this so here goes:
I've been thinking about this as Season 7 has unfolded and I came up with an idea -- a fairly big one, at that. But I had one huge problem with this theory and that was the continuing existance of the Angel series.
And then I read that the Angel series contract expires after this season so, if that's the case my idea COULD work, if it's not renewed.
Let me outline this for you.
Our apparent Big Bad (on Buffy) this season is The First, the source of all evil in the world. We have an Apocalypse on Angel. There are more than a few hints that these storylines might be related.
The head of the WB has said that if SMG is not coming back, he would OK a crossover with his UPN rival, which also helps this story.We already know Faith is gonna be on 3 Angels and 5 Buffys.
So, OK, Buffy & the Scoobs, assisted by the SITs and Faith go up against The First -- AND WIN!!!
When they win, any vampire or demon not currently possessing a soul disappears, vanishes, *POOF* -- eliminating the need for slayers. Additionally, any of these non-humans owning a soul when this happens become human.
Buffy and Angel ride off into the sunset and live a long and happy life.
Or Joss just kills 'em all off in a worldwide scenario of death and devastation and turns the earth into in The Road Warrior, which is why we have to leave and create the world of Firefly.
Hey, it could happen!

Like another post said, speculation does not equal spoiler. I *love* to speculate. Until very very recently, I *loved* to read every spoiler I could get my hands on.
Then I read something that changed my mind... The author's words were on the mark, and here's my own personalized story, which so equates his:
I started watching Buffy during the first part of season five... I think my first episode was the one where we first saw Ben change into Glory while talking to Dawn. Anyway, I quickly got all caught up on all previous seasons, chronologically, thanks to a good friend (Mattro, aka Hjermstead on this site) and his amazing video-collecting skills. I knew, at that time, nothing at all about the web community for Buffy, and had absolutely no exposure to anything Buffy-related other than those video tapes. I was spoiler-free.
When I finally got caught up, and watched "The Body", I cried my eyes out for probably another hour after the episode ran.
Beginning during the summer after season five, I became a buffy-web-whore. I read everything I could get my hands on related to Buffy-verse. I read every spoiler. I relished in the spoilers. I rubbed them all over my body until I felt naughty. Get the point?
Spring, 2002: Nerd of Doom 'Warren' kills Tara. BFD, I knew about it months ago. Sure, I was sad. Sure, it meant Willow was gonna go all evil. But I knew already, so... it didn't really affect me the same way.
Just two weeks ago, I read the article I mentioned that pointed out the author's similar feelings, and decided to quit reading the wildfeed transcripts that dominated my every Monday morning for Buffy, Friday morning for Angel (probably now Monday too), etc. I still haven't decided about Herc's (at AICN) pseudo-spoilery reviews.
There are still spoilers I read a few weeks ago that have yet to happen. For Angel, I had previously read spoilers that take us past Spring Sweeps...
Oh well. Select to view spoiler:
Like last week's Angel, I spent the entire episode wondering if Lilah was gonna die yet, since I already know she will soon...
So, the point of my diatribe...
Some of us are waiting to see it through our own eyes, just as the ME folks wanted it.
In the meantime, let's *speculate*!!!

The life-changing article that PosterNB is referring to is called "Spoiler Free is the Way to Be" and can be found here:

I've been doing my best to go spoiler-free as well. Though I am totally stoked that

OK, a quick update, based on information from The Spoiler Slayer and rendered in inviso-text for those of you who don't want to know:
Select to view spoiler:
" Okay, I am such a spoilerho I can't stop myself: Buffy goes back "in time" (I guess) and meets the three wizard types who created the first slayer. They chain her up and subject her to the same ritual that created the first slayer -- nasty painful. Try to merge her with a demon in a way. They tell Buffy she is the last slayer. She doesn't get it and they repeat - LAST."
If this is the case, if Buffy IS the LAST SLAYER, and what an ultimate pay-off that would be, then my scenario above is lookin' better and better all the time...
Just in case you were curious...

The info in Selnyc's inviso-text message is consistent with Whedon's futuristic slayer storyline in Fray, published by Dark Horse Comics.

i dont agree w/u, mr! i think that season six was terrible UNTIL the season finale (well, actually, once more with feeling was very well done). it was the ultimate battle with buffy and her six-year sidekick. i admit the whole "im gonna kill the world" was a bit corny, i think it was well written.
newho, that had nuthing to do with ur theory, but it bothered me.
by the by, i think ur right bout season 7
?_+

Alright,
Bottom line is Buffy is a tragic story...Joss has never done warm, fuzzy endings and the series finale will be NO different. He's gonna shake things up, people are GOING to die and it will be a tragic ending, just like the rest of the series finales (that I've seen).
So, knowing this, and knowing that he can't just kill her (he's done it twice already and established that she can just be brought back...it's just not a solid enough ending) he's going to have to do something even more tragic.
So, my theory at this point is this: what is the biggest sacrifice a VAMPIRE slayer could make? She's going to need more power to save the world, let herself be turned into a vamp, defeat the First, and then Willow, Xander and Angel will have to stake her.
The End

speaking of characters crossing over to angel next season, anybody wondering about the Willow / Fred thing. I wonder if that was intentional ( likely ) and if our favorite witch is headed to L.A. next season.
