I try to stay away from spoilers, But I inadvertently stumbled upon a Marti Noxon interview where she hinted at what's to come next season...

SPOILER WARNING: semi-vague for season 7 though I'd stay away if I were you

In an interview with TV weekly, which I'll paraphrase, she says: lighter tone, more stand-alones; Buffy and Dawn's origins will be explored; by the end of the season, Buffy will be a "true vampire slayer"; Willow will get a new love interest, saying "you won't believe who it is,"; Spike with a soul won't be a retread of Angel, big plans; Anya/Xander rift will be dealt with, Anya will have to make a choice.

I'm confused too. Maybe he's being turned human again? Personally I don't want two vamps with a soul. We've already got Angel and it'd be pretty stupid (well, maybe not stupid but I can't think of a better word) to have two of 'em. Unless Joss has something up his sleeve, which wouldn't surprise me. There's always a catch.

I hope they make him human, that would come off so much better than another vamp with a soul. I know they said that it wouldn't be the same as Angel, that it would be dealt with differently, but another vamp with a soul is recycling ideas, kind of like what American pie 2 was to American Pie, an entire recycle of gags, but done differently.

I wonder who Willow will end up with? I'd like to think Xanser, I think Willow is better matched to him than Anya, a bit more understanding of how they each work, and both having the strong attachment to Buffy (the fast forward in Hells Bells, Anya and Xander grew apart because of his withdrawal over Buffy's death), and when Buffy goes, maybe they would cope better together?? But Xander and Willow would mean Willow not being a lesbian, and Joss has been reinforcing that thwy still have a lesbian on the shpw, after all the backlash of him being anti lesbian after killing Tara off. I read somewhere else through one of the spoiler rooms (can't remember which one), that it would be Tara, only Tara wouldn't be the same as she was before her death. I don't know what that means, i'll have to find the post that I found that info on, maybe someone else could decipher better than I did.

Again, with who will Willow end up with, maybe Giles? Dawn? Buffy? Anya? I doubt any of those though, no real plausible explanation for why they would be together. Maybe OZ? Seth Green isn't ever coming back to Buffy though, i'm pretty sure. Enough with my rambling.

...who will Willow end up with, maybe Giles? Dawn? Buffy? Anya? ...

Let me just say: Willow/Dawn? No

way!

Actually, I'd like to see the Mutant Enemy folks avoid the whole who's-zoomin'-whom thing with Buffy. There were times in Angel this past season where it was starting to get to be too much like "Vampire's Creek."

Wishlist: The team reassembles to kick much Big Bad booty, with quips. Dawn becomes spin-kickin', vamp-stakin' teenage mutant ninja bitch-ette. Spike turns human -- no vamp powers -- and uses his long familiarity with the underworld to go completely evil

Oh, and while we're at it. Willow hooks up with Harmony, Darla, and Amy in an all-night girl-pile.

So Spike as a human and not a vamp with a chip with a soul? Hmmm.. Can we expect more bloody awful poetry? ..watching Angel re-runs I've been wondering again whether the prophecy of the vampire with the soul refers to someone other than Angel (they've begun to speculate as such on the show)... maybe it really will be Spike! In any case, more chances to see Marsters (the toplesser the better! ) makes Abby a happy critta.

And while we're talking about things that make me grin fiendishly... I like the Willow girl-pile idea... think i can get in on that? I've been waiting for the return of Amy tho - she's got the mojo to be formidable, even if not in a naked Willow tangle.

why do i always have to be the foot-putting-downer??

ok i found the site that had the spoiler about Tara, it's at

[url] http://www.spoilerslayer.com/index.php [/url]

right at the bottom of the page, but this is what it says, along with a couple of others,

Select to view spoiler:

Spoiler; Source; Ranking;

Tara might return in some form; Boards; Possible

Giles might return for a while; Fraz; Likely

Britney Spears will appear in a recurring role; Misc. Source; Highly Unlikely

Spike is still chipped; Writer Comments; Nearly Confirmed

Spike returns to Sunnydale; Fraz; Likely

i'm pulling for the whole Tara coming back, i'm not so sure I want to see Willow in on a girl pile, it's not her. but then again, being gay didn't seem like her either, and we all know how that turned out.

Never trust anything that Marti says! Often times, she tries to mislead the audience... which is very often funny

Though, if these spoilers are true, we're in for some amazing Buffy next year!

My guess for Will's love interest? Marcy, the invisible girl from season 1. Or maybe there'll be a cross-over and Fred an Willow will fall for eachother! Now *that* would be unexpected

(We know for sure that it'll be a girl... all of the writers say that Willow is a full-fledged lesbian forever.)

What the hell does being a "true vampire slayer" mean? Sounds interesting if this ends up being true... hmm... maybe there's never actually *been* a true vamp. slayer? Maybe one has never lived long enough to become one? I can't wait!

Anya's choice: To destroy or not to destroy her power center.

Who wants to start a bet? The person who guesses the most correct events for season 7 gets a fabulous prize (or... maybe nothing... it'll be a prize-less bet!)

SO... I can't wait!

Speculation

Willow finds someone new?
I'll throw my bet in the pot now

It's either Buffy or Anya

I know ewwwwwww on the Buffy speculation

I think it's a possibility for her to
have a *crush* on Buffy.

But I would probably bet more on Anya
Anya is so annoyed with Xander and men
I can see her and Willow hooking up

A Vengence Demon and A Witch?
Sounds like mad bliss to me...hehehehe

more season 7 spoilers from E!'s Watch with Wanda, just more elaboration on we already know.

Select to view spoiler:

Will Tara Return?
It's not clear whether actress Amber Benson will be back, but my source tells me a version of Tara will reappear, adding, "We will see more of the Willow/Tara warm fuzzies."

Will Spike Come Back as a Human?
No, but he will come back with a soul. And according to a source close to the set, we haven't seen the end of the Buffy-Spike (aka Spuffy) fireworks--although this time, they'll undoubtedly be a little more Angel-ic.

As for the rumor that Britney Spears will appear on the show this year, although the entire "Grrr...Argh" camp is currently taking a much deserved break, I'd bet my beloved TiVo that Buffy boss Joss Whedon would give a response similar to his comment on last year's rumor that Shannen Doherty would guest star, "I only work with serious actors."

season 7 is starting out to look like a pretty good season, and hopefully, it will be.

Generally speaking, my expectations for season seven are as they always are: excellent storytelling that takes me by surprise at least twice during the season.

Specifically speaking, my concerns are as follows
(in which I include possible spoilers and wild speculation):

Select to view spoiler:

Tara coming back? Maybe in an episode or two to make peace or the like, but I would be sorely disappointed if they brought yet another person back from the dead. As many times as it's happened, it's been forgiven, because somehow they've managed to keep it from cheapening the deaths. However, bringing Tara back for anything more than closure for Willow might be pushing it (unless there's some kind of bizarre Tara vampire story in the works, in which case I don't even know what my reaction would be).

Willow/Xander pairing? Well, ok, technically, Willow could be classified as a bisexual given her romantic and sexual relationships with both Oz and Tara... however, I do think that politically speaking, they need to keep Willow playing for the team she's on now. Let's not confuse the audience too much. I'm all for nekkid Willow girl piles, though...

As for Willow/Buffy, Willow/Anya, Willow/Dawn (eeeuuugh, that's just gross), or any of that, I'm not seeing it. They can't turn it into a total lesbionic lovefest (although I am very much in favor of the Willow/Fred crossover romperoo, complete with Indigo Girls and Ani DiFranco soundtrack...

).

In regard to Buffy and Spike: I trust Joss implicitly. If six years of precedent means anything, it'll be fine.

And that's all I have to say about that.
