I think it's great that xander's running the show, as someone else pointed out he's been a foreman for a while, the modern workplace is all about transferable skills, and we always knew he was smarter than he gave himself credit for

I have no theories on amy's boyfriend but it's quite exciting wondering and reading other people's ideas that I never would have thought of, actually

Select to view spoiler:

my thought was jonathan, because his death was linked to seal, but that was shut down, so it's unlikely

.

who knows? but it's just so great to have something to puzzle about again

Still thinking about the Lindsey issue...since this is supposed to take place at some point after "The Girl in Question", why was Amy unable to get out of the Sunnydale pit, but Linsey was...several months before? I would think that Amy would be stronger magically than Lindsey, since she's had several years over Lindsey with the magics. Lindsey had a couple of years, Amy had three years pre-rat (assuming she started immediately after her mother 'disappeared' and we only found out about it in Season 2) and two after.

Amy claimed to have a crush on Big Gay Larry. Maybe she resurrected him to keep her company? Okay, that's lame. Unless that's what it is. Then it's great because it's Joss.

I always just figured Lindsey had some kind of homing spell on the amulet, where he could speak a certain word and it would show up on his coffeetable, something like that. I just couldn't imagine him going there and actually digging thru rubble in the crater--talk about a needle in a haystack!

Which isn't to say that he didn't--that's just always been my assumption, based on zero evidence for either option...

Not to mention the fact that Lindsey was a lot more likely to have someone else do his dirty work. Very rarely was he a "hands-on" type of guy.

I always kind of assumed he went down into the pit himself, then used magic to find the amulet.

Seriously doubt Amy's 'boyfriend' is Caleb. Woman-hating preacher, remember?

re: larry, that was my first thought too

about lindsey, like groosalug, I never thought he actually went and got it, I don't think I did really think about how he got his hands on it but the coffee table thing's probably closest to what I would have thought...

caleb would be cool, and not just to see nathan in print again, sure he's a woman hater but amy doesn't seem to have the highest self esteem so I could see her latching on to him...

She might latch onto him, but would he tolerate it?

Then again, he likely be weakened (being, you know, split), so he might not have much power over her. That also could be why she'd think he'd need weapons to fight Buffy.

I don't think it's Larry, or Adam (seen him mentioned as a possibility elsewhere), for the simple reason that they were dead and decomposing for 2-3 years while Amy was still a rat. I suppose she could bring them back, ala "Bargaining, pt. 1", but remember how involved that spell was, dependent on astral alignments and very rare props. Plus, I don't think Amy is nearly as powerful as Willow, unless she's beefed up recently.

For the record, my guess is that it's Rack. Either Evil Willow didn't 'completely' kill him, or she did, but Amy got to him in time, very soon afterward, to bring him back to life.

I'm thinking the boyfriend isn't even human, based on one line from the scientist-type guy the general is speaking to. Don't have my issue handy (already lent it out) but after the "boyfriend" comment is made the conversation is something like "Boyfriend? How..." "Best not to picture it.", which I took to mean sex. Which a zombie-type person it's certainly ick, but I could picture it. So I'm guessing demon or the like, probably something we haven't even seen yet.

I think that's a decent bet--that it's a demon rather than a human/zombie. But I think I'd be disappointed if it weren't someone we're already familiar with, so I'm gonna say 65/35 that it'll be someone we know, as opposed to a whole new character.

The fact that Amy wanted a weapons lab for whoever (or whatever) is an interesting clue. You could certainly picture Adam wanting one of those, which I think is why someone else guessed it could be him. It doesn't seem like something Caleb or Larry would have much use for, tho. Rack might, if we're talking about magic-based weaponry.

Speaking of which, the government seems to have gotten up to speed on the mystical/magickal side of the demon realm since the days of the Initiative, huh? Quite a turnaround from their strictly-scientific viewpoint of, what, just 4 or 5 years earlier?
