General Season 6 Spoilers - Part 7 - The Voyage Home

Postby xita » Wed Feb 27, 2002 1:02 am

It's the Spoiler Thread

continued from Thread #6


Ok, brand new start to the spoiler thread. Let's keep it confined to spoilers this time. If you want to go off in tangets, may I suggest the daily thread

Also, this is very important for those of us in the know, there are very disturbing spoilers floating out there. However, we have all heard them and debated them to death. THERE ARE NO LEGITIMATE SPOILERS that indicate a Tara death or Willow as the BSD. So I will asks posters, unless there are new, substantial, and legitimate spoilers regarding a possible big scoobie death as it relates to Willow and Tara or Willow the big bad, do not post about it. If you have any questions about our policy read our old spoiler threads, read all the way back to November to get the full picture.. We know, we are worried, we take them seriously but we can't spend all our time talking about them. You will be promptly edited or deleted.

Esteemed established kitties, do not be tempted to reply to trolls. If there are people who insist on bringing this negativity to our spoiler thread, clearly state our policy and notify any of the mods! Do not engage in a flame war with them.

Now on to actual spoilers!!

From AngelX when she made her gracious visit to our board:

quote:

I've notified all of my sources and have them hunting for information. All I know right now is that none of them have heard anything about her death. Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean anything one way or another, but it's better than direct info that says she will die.

-Michelle


now from gift of amber:

quote:
TARA IS IN EPISODE 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tara finds herself pulled into a fight with a hairy demon.

I'm going to go through and find more stuff, but I wanted to let everyone know

---Tara tells Anya that she doesn't think it's a good idea to include "sex poodle" in her vows.
I'm trying to figure out if she survives the "fight", but I'm not sure I have stuff for that far. I will let you know when I know.

--Buffy, Willow, and Dawn talk about Xander walking out on the wedding.
--Xander checks into a crappy motel.
The fight is described as "fists and tentacles flying", so there is nothing to lead me to believe a death is involved, plus the talking about Xander is after the fight, and they wouldn't be talking about Xander if Tara had just been killed.
--The girl Spike was with, he can't remember her name when asked, so he asks her, and she says her name is "Tarantula".
--Anya is practising her vows, "I promise to have sex with you whenever...I want", and doesn't want to use the word cherish.

I don't know about the maid of honor thing...it's possible...we don't know for sure who it is.
--Warty Demon offers to help with the coffee maker, but can't fix it, and Xander then fixes it.
--"Hymeneal Salutations"....D'Hoffryn says to Dawn.
--Uncle Rory picks up a GIRL caterer in front of Dawn.
--Dawn is talking to a demon teen about who has a worse family. The teen offers her a Shirley Temple.
--Buffy acts out charades on stage at the lodge.


From Autumn:

quote:

A whole bunch of revisions were just released today. I'm going through them now. So far my favorite Tara line is to Anya "Uh, I'm not sure you should say 'sex poodle' in your vows

OK, there is no indication in the sides that Tara is harmed in any way. The notation of her being "pulled into the fray" means getting in the middle of a big Harris Family/Demon argument.
Also, there are two partial scenes where Tara is helping Anya with her vows.

Edited to add:
Looks like Lia and I have the same info at the same time. My *impression* based on reading this is that Tara may very well be the maid of honor as she is alone with Tara in working through and going over her vows. However nothing I read states that for sure.

Autumn


And Rane, the maid of honor thing was just an impression based on the fact that twice Tara and Anya were working on vows.

Also, a lot of rewites from the last set that went out. For instance Xander no longer asks if the magical orb is from Willow, etc. So this one give the impression very much of a script still in progress. Just FYI. Could be more changes.

The reason for my in progress comments were because there were SO many updates today with new characters, etc as well as rewrites to a lot of the scenes that came before. That usually indicates it is undergoing a lot of massaging. The other sides I've seen this season did not have nearly the amount of revisions as these did.

Also, looks like Halfrek is also a bridesmaid.

Might be tough Bob. A lot of it is interiors. And most of it take place it what was first an Elks lodge and has now migrated into a Bison's lodge during rewrites.


From the spoilerzone

quote:
There's a lull momentarily, then Mr. Harris says something insulting about the demons, and the fight starts again. Willow rescues Tara from the brawl, while Anya makes everyone sit down and be quiet. But Xander and Anya step away for a minute, and Xander tells Anya he can't get married to her. He admits he has had fears for a long time. He doesn't want to make a mistake that will last forever. She walks away from him, stunned. Then he walks in the other direction. Anya returns to the guests. She looks absolutely heartbroken. The guests start fighting again.

General spoilers from the cross and stake

quote:

General Season 6


Crossovers with Angel are unlikely. If they are necessary, they will happen.


No new Slayer. Joss says no. When Faith dies, a new Slayer will be called, but otherwise, no.


Anthony Stewart Head is contracted as a recurring star for the 6th season.

Episode 16


Ep: 16. Writer: Rebecca Rand Kirshner.


Xander and Anya's wedding!


from GiftofAmber

quote:

Episode 17 "Normal Again"
Written by Diego Gutierrez
Directed by Rick Rosenthal

Tara is in the episode. The nerds are in the episode. Joyce is in the episode. It is an altered reality episode.


From my same anonymous RAMS source regarding episode 17:
Tara saves Willow during the Buffy fight then Willow saves Tara without using magic


From Dark Sheep Mysterioso Ep 18 Entropy:

quote:

All right. I give this as a gift to those who so see it fit as one. I'm not gonna give you all of the stuff I have BUT, I will give you a very good part of it. But there is an EVEN better part/ parts of this ep. Anyway:
ACT ONE
Int. Uc Sunnydale Campus- Day
As students stream out of class, we see WILLOW, books in hand, leaning up against the wall of the building. Kinda focred casual. TARA comes out of class. Willow sees her, brightens, walks to her.
T: Hey
W: Look at you. All coming-out-of-class and everything.
T: (smiling) I do that sometimes. Usually at the end part of the class.
W: Right [ for some reason the script says Warren, I guess they need a reader. Ruth you might want to apply! But Willow does say this line]
They walk together. Slowly. Not rushing anywhere.
T: (pointing awkawardly at Willow's neck) How's your...you know, after the basement deal?
Willow swivels her head, testing her neck.
W: It's between a hitch and a kink. With a side of twinge. It's okay.
T: And Buffy's okay too? Enjoying the refreshing sanity and so forth?
W: (overdoing) Ha! Yes! Refreshing san--that's funny! (compensating soberly) She's okay. A little...freaked. I'm glad she didn't hurt you.
T: You too.
A beat of silence, then:
T (cont'd): So this is becoming kind of a regular thing. You and me after class.
W: Uh, I didn't...
T: only this time you stuck around.
W: Oh, um...various sounds of hesitation [again I believe this should have been in parentheticals]
T: She was just a friend.
Willow's caught a little off guard. But relieved.
W: Friends are nice!
T: You rushed off before I could, you know, explain.
W: Officially, of course, I have to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.
T: Unofficially?
Willow just grins a big grin. They walk in silence for a moment. Willow, still nervous, takes a deep breath, then:
W: We should get coffee some time. Maybe some day this week after class.
T: I am free tomorrow. [{I know we're all cheering right now.}]
W: You could, you could bring your friend.
Tara's actually a little thrown by this.
T: I wasn't gonna--I mean, if you have a friend-- [uh oh! But alas:]
W: No! I'm, oh, I'm friendless.
T: Yeah, yeah. No friends--I mean, I have friends...[sadly I wasn't her friend ]
W: Many dear friends, yeah, but--
T: Coffee.
W: With us. Who are...just friends.
Eventually later they go to the Expesso Pump and Anya shows up and ruins their Coffee date so to speak. I have more info, but I think this is good enough for now. I'm sure someone else will have the info that I am NOT going to post at this time. Too much of a good thing can kill you!
For I am Dark Sheep Mysterioso. May all lesser sheep bow before me. And on a personal note, you will very much like the way this episode ends


------------------
"Everthing's just turning out so dark..."
"No, it's okay. Lost is good. Willow and I always know how to find each other!"

Thank you for the new thread Xita.

BTW I got an e-mail from Tensai/Spoiler Slayer stating he *is* giving Herc the credit for Asylum (now Normal Again). Personally I love the site but I hate the rankings - I mean you could have a paragraph of information from one source and then one from another, and it just depends how many spoilers you chop it into that gives it a different ranking.

Oh and I sooooo hope D-Sheep-M meant the ending to Episode 18 was related to W/T! Come back sheepy and tell us more *flutters eyelids* pleassssssssssse!

Thanks tyche. See, I'm still intrigued by this idea that Buffy saw her mother, or something resembling her mother when she was dead, and I'd sure like to know more about it.

So briefly.

Tara is in Episodes 16, 17 and 18.
Still unknown about 19, 20 and 21.

Cool.

I *think* Tara is in episode 19. I recall seeing something about her being on the set.
Of course if she isn't and is in a later episode I'll just say they postponed her appearance and I was never wrong so I still remain 100% accurate.

I REALLY think Tara will be in more episodes than her original 16. Tara is too important to leave out of the final four. I am also sure The Scoobies will need Tara's magickal expertise at one point or another.

------------------
Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Tara: Nobody messes with my girl!

I personally see her being in 16-19, and 21-22. See, MN is writing 21 and she mentioned wanting to do a W/T make-up scene. So I put her in 21 so we can have a make-up game of shiver me timberless. And I just want her to be in the season finale. That would also make 18 eps, the same as last season, when she also had a 16-ep contract.

------------------
Willow: Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?

Tara: Horsies!
Willow: Don't hit the horsies!
Buffy: We won't! (to giles) Aim for the horsies.

I too think that Tara will be in the final four episodes of this season. I'm looking forward to the wedding and the Tara/Willow moments in ep.18. Does anyone have anymore info about ep.18? How does it end with Willow/Tara? What are Buffy, Dawn, and Xanya doing in this episode? I hope these questions will soon be answered because I'm too eager to know the details.

Can anyone tell me if there will be a new ep airing in the US on March 19th? I don't remember hearing that there would be, but I could be entirely wrong. (Being in the UK, I don't tend to take that much notice of these things.) It's just that my fiance will be in the UK with me from 10-23rd March, and he wants to sort out his taping in advance.
Cheers.

I really doubt it. I suspect the next new episode will land sometime in April for them to have enough all new Buffy for May sweeps.

Where did Marti Noxon say that she wanted to write Willow and Tara's make-up scene? I must have missed that one.

Marti didn't say she wanted to write the reunion scene--there was a post in the last spoiler thread where someone quoted Marti as saying she wanted to write a romantic W/T scene that didn't involve magick or singing. If that's true...well, it's really great, isn't it?

Personally I think the reunion will come in Ep 19. Ep 19 is always a big W/T ep. In S4 it was NMR and despite the angst it ended with the best thing ever--W/T becoming a real couple. In S5 it was TL which was just horrible, with the fight and the brain-suck. So I think in S6 it will be a good one again.

I realize that no actual logic is involved in this theory. But I'm sticking with it anyway.

From the Cross & Stake Spoiler Board - NOTE that I said the Spoiler Board and not the website. These didn't come from AnGeL X. They are at this point unconfirmed... well, except for the one we already knew about from Dark Sheep Mysterioso.

quote:
here are some things on 6.18:

- Written by Drew Greenberg
- Xander and Anya have their first post-wedding run-in and things end up where Xander can't marry her so he tells her that they should break up
- After this conversation, Anya and Halfrek try to curse Xander, but fail because Anya doesn't mean it
- D'Hoffryn and Halfrek try to convince Anya to go vengeance demon
- Willow and Tara go for coffee where it deals with Willow's neck injury (6.17) and other Buffy related problems
- Buffy avoids Spike by putting spells on all of the places she loves not letting Spike in (5.14)
- The Troika concoct another scheme to kill the slayer, but this scheme may kill of one of the Troika prooving the real evil in the evil group.
- Xander goes through a break down not knowing if he can ever fall in love again and so does Anya
- Buffy tells the group about her and Spike and they get pretty mad (Dawn isn't involved in the conversation, but overhears at the stairs and pretends that she doesn't know!!)


Some of these things sound legit. Others sound kind of iffy. Personally, I think there's going to be more W/T in this episode than what is said here, but that's just me.

Jen/Jennpurr,

The quote is from the W/T comic "Wanna Blessed Be" written in large part by Amber Benson herself.

------------------
Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Tara: Nobody messes with my girl!

Xander tells Anya he can't get married to her. He admits he has had fears for a long time. He doesn't want to make a mistake that will last forever. She walks away from him, stunned. Then he walks in the other direction. Anya returns to the guests. She looks absolutely heartbroken.

Well, since this eppy is finally coming up this week, I thought I might discuss it a bit. I'm really curious as to what the writers ultimately intend to do with Xander and Anya's relationship. Another spoiler (unconfirmed) said they break up completely after the wedding debacle. I haven't spent much time deeply analyzing X/A's relationship. I've never completely understood their attraction to one another. It always seemed to me that Anya just latched onto Xander and he, being bored and horny and single, went along for the, uh, ride. Does their relationship have any great "meaning" to anyone?

That said, I'm dreading seeing Anya literally left at the altar. When Anya discovered that Dawn was stealing from her in OAFA, I was surprised at how much her hurt expression moved me. I think that seeing her crushed on her wedding day is going to leave me devastated. Poor Anya. The good thing about this is that the criminally underused Emma Caulfield will have an opportunity to shine. I've become so impressed with her lately. She's terrific!

I'm glad we'll have lots of Willow and Tara goodness coming up to balance out the pain. (Not that X/A breaking up even slightly compares to W/T! I'm just a big softie and hate to see anyone in pain.)

I wonder if Anya will have a Cordelia-like reaction to all the Scoobies and blame them for Xander's faults. I mean, Willow and Buffy never really seemed to accepted her anyway. I never thought the Xander/Anya wedding would go through, but it's terrible that Xander leaves her at the alter. That's just so mean.

That "spoiler" that says Xander is wondering if he can ever love again rings false in my ears. Why would Xander even be thinking about falling in love again after such a heartbreaking situation? It seems kind of shallow.

"Oh, I just broke the heart of the one person who ever loved me and left her at the alter. Can I ever love again?"

It just doesn't seem like something Xander would say. He'd probably think he doesn't *deserve* the love of anyone again. Or he'd probably not even want to think of the possiblity of loving again.

I always thought they came together because it was convient, but then it developed into something more. In Hush, Xander beats up Spike because he thinks he bit Anya. In Into the Woods, he has that whole speech that he gives to Anya.

quote:

Xander: I've gotta say something, 'cause I don't think I've made it clear. I'm in love with you. Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do, the way you think, the way you move... I get excited every time I'm about to see you. You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life. Like a man. I just thought you might wanna know.

And he is the one that proposes to her in The Gift.

I just think he proposed to her because he was paniced about the world ending again and while he was scared, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Not that he didn't love her, but fear made him take that step just a bit too quickly.

I have a question regarding recent spoilers. Since some of you seem to know quite a bit more about television production than I do, I thought I might ask it here.

I was reading an article recently about Jane Kaczmarek being unable to work for a couple of weeks, and how that would not affect her appearance in episodes because Malcolm films out of sequence. What I am wondering is if this ``out of sequence'' filming could apply to Buffy, specifically to Giles' return. The preliminary ``mini-spoilers'' list ASH as being in the next two eps, but other info seems to indicate otherwise, such as timing info (this article coupled with this post) and the fact that no one noticed he was in town. I was wondering if they could have filmed the Giles scenes at a later date for the two episodes, perhaps while 18 was filming.

Just curious.

Thank you for the new thread Xita.

BTW I got an e-mail from Tensai/Spoiler Slayer stating he *is* giving Herc the credit for Asylum (now Normal Again). Personally I love the site but I hate the rankings - I mean you could have a paragraph of information from one source and then one from another, and it just depends how many spoilers you chop it into that gives it a different ranking.

Oh and I sooooo hope D-Sheep-M meant the ending to Episode 18 was related to W/T! Come back sheepy and tell us more *flutters eyelids* pleassssssssssse!

Ooh, a shiny new spoiler thread.
I just found some new spoilers at the Cross & Stake - no idea as to their provenance, but I thought I'd share:
http://www.voy.com/13746/81272.html

------------------
MAYHEM CAUSED. Monsters certainly not involved, officials say. - Headline on Xander's newspaper in 'OMWF'
TARA: Oh mah god, cuss it all t' tarnation. ah's cured! Fry mah hide! ah's hankerin' th' fellas! - Tara in 'speaks redneck' revelation.

Thanks tyche. See, I'm still intrigued by this idea that Buffy saw her mother, or something resembling her mother when she was dead, and I'd sure like to know more about it.

So briefly.

Tara is in Episodes 16, 17 and 18.
Still unknown about 19, 20 and 21.

Cool.

I *think* Tara is in episode 19. I recall seeing something about her being on the set.
Of course if she isn't and is in a later episode I'll just say they postponed her appearance and I was never wrong so I still remain 100% accurate.

I REALLY think Tara will be in more episodes than her original 16. Tara is too important to leave out of the final four. I am also sure The Scoobies will need Tara's magickal expertise at one point or another.

------------------
Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Tara: Nobody messes with my girl!

I personally see her being in 16-19, and 21-22. See, MN is writing 21 and she mentioned wanting to do a W/T make-up scene. So I put her in 21 so we can have a make-up game of shiver me timberless. And I just want her to be in the season finale. That would also make 18 eps, the same as last season, when she also had a 16-ep contract.

------------------
Willow: Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?

Tara: Horsies!
Willow: Don't hit the horsies!
Buffy: We won't! (to giles) Aim for the horsies.

I too think that Tara will be in the final four episodes of this season. I'm looking forward to the wedding and the Tara/Willow moments in ep.18. Does anyone have anymore info about ep.18? How does it end with Willow/Tara? What are Buffy, Dawn, and Xanya doing in this episode? I hope these questions will soon be answered because I'm too eager to know the details.

Can anyone tell me if there will be a new ep airing in the US on March 19th? I don't remember hearing that there would be, but I could be entirely wrong. (Being in the UK, I don't tend to take that much notice of these things.) It's just that my fiance will be in the UK with me from 10-23rd March, and he wants to sort out his taping in advance.
Cheers.

I really doubt it. I suspect the next new episode will land sometime in April for them to have enough all new Buffy for May sweeps.

Marti didn't say she wanted to write the reunion scene--there was a post in the last spoiler thread where someone quoted Marti as saying she wanted to write a romantic W/T scene that didn't involve magick or singing. If that's true...well, it's really great, isn't it?

Personally I think the reunion will come in Ep 19. Ep 19 is always a big W/T ep. In S4 it was NMR and despite the angst it ended with the best thing ever--W/T becoming a real couple. In S5 it was TL which was just horrible, with the fight and the brain-suck. So I think in S6 it will be a good one again.

I realize that no actual logic is involved in this theory. But I'm sticking with it anyway.

From the Cross & Stake Spoiler Board - NOTE that I said the Spoiler Board and not the website. These didn't come from AnGeL X. They are at this point unconfirmed... well, except for the one we already knew about from Dark Sheep Mysterioso.

quote:
here are some things on 6.18:

- Written by Drew Greenberg
- Xander and Anya have their first post-wedding run-in and things end up where Xander can't marry her so he tells her that they should break up
- After this conversation, Anya and Halfrek try to curse Xander, but fail because Anya doesn't mean it
- D'Hoffryn and Halfrek try to convince Anya to go vengeance demon
- Willow and Tara go for coffee where it deals with Willow's neck injury (6.17) and other Buffy related problems
- Buffy avoids Spike by putting spells on all of the places she loves not letting Spike in (5.14)
- The Troika concoct another scheme to kill the slayer, but this scheme may kill of one of the Troika prooving the real evil in the evil group.
- Xander goes through a break down not knowing if he can ever fall in love again and so does Anya
- Buffy tells the group about her and Spike and they get pretty mad (Dawn isn't involved in the conversation, but overhears at the stairs and pretends that she doesn't know!!)


Some of these things sound legit. Others sound kind of iffy. Personally, I think there's going to be more W/T in this episode than what is said here, but that's just me.

Xander tells Anya he can't get married to her. He admits he has had fears for a long time. He doesn't want to make a mistake that will last forever. She walks away from him, stunned. Then he walks in the other direction. Anya returns to the guests. She looks absolutely heartbroken.

Well, since this eppy is finally coming up this week, I thought I might discuss it a bit. I'm really curious as to what the writers ultimately intend to do with Xander and Anya's relationship. Another spoiler (unconfirmed) said they break up completely after the wedding debacle. I haven't spent much time deeply analyzing X/A's relationship. I've never completely understood their attraction to one another. It always seemed to me that Anya just latched onto Xander and he, being bored and horny and single, went along for the, uh, ride. Does their relationship have any great "meaning" to anyone?

That said, I'm dreading seeing Anya literally left at the altar. When Anya discovered that Dawn was stealing from her in OAFA, I was surprised at how much her hurt expression moved me. I think that seeing her crushed on her wedding day is going to leave me devastated. Poor Anya. The good thing about this is that the criminally underused Emma Caulfield will have an opportunity to shine. I've become so impressed with her lately. She's terrific!

I'm glad we'll have lots of Willow and Tara goodness coming up to balance out the pain. (Not that X/A breaking up even slightly compares to W/T! I'm just a big softie and hate to see anyone in pain.)

I wonder if Anya will have a Cordelia-like reaction to all the Scoobies and blame them for Xander's faults. I mean, Willow and Buffy never really seemed to accepted her anyway. I never thought the Xander/Anya wedding would go through, but it's terrible that Xander leaves her at the alter. That's just so mean.

That "spoiler" that says Xander is wondering if he can ever love again rings false in my ears. Why would Xander even be thinking about falling in love again after such a heartbreaking situation? It seems kind of shallow.

"Oh, I just broke the heart of the one person who ever loved me and left her at the alter. Can I ever love again?"

It just doesn't seem like something Xander would say. He'd probably think he doesn't *deserve* the love of anyone again. Or he'd probably not even want to think of the possiblity of loving again.

I always thought they came together because it was convient, but then it developed into something more. In Hush, Xander beats up Spike because he thinks he bit Anya. In Into the Woods, he has that whole speech that he gives to Anya.

quote:

Xander: I've gotta say something, 'cause I don't think I've made it clear. I'm in love with you. Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do, the way you think, the way you move... I get excited every time I'm about to see you. You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life. Like a man. I just thought you might wanna know.

And he is the one that proposes to her in The Gift.

I just think he proposed to her because he was paniced about the world ending again and while he was scared, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Not that he didn't love her, but fear made him take that step just a bit too quickly.

Xander: I've gotta say something, 'cause I don't think I've made it clear. I'm in love with you. Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do, the way you think, the way you move... I get excited every time I'm about to see you. You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life. Like a man. I just thought you might wanna know.

And he is the one that proposes to her in The Gift.

I just think he proposed to her because he was paniced about the world ending again and while he was scared, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Not that he didn't love her, but fear made him take that step just a bit too quickly.

I have a question regarding recent spoilers. Since some of you seem to know quite a bit more about television production than I do, I thought I might ask it here.

I was reading an article recently about Jane Kaczmarek being unable to work for a couple of weeks, and how that would not affect her appearance in episodes because Malcolm films out of sequence. What I am wondering is if this ``out of sequence'' filming could apply to Buffy, specifically to Giles' return. The preliminary ``mini-spoilers'' list ASH as being in the next two eps, but other info seems to indicate otherwise, such as timing info (this article coupled with this post) and the fact that no one noticed he was in town. I was wondering if they could have filmed the Giles scenes at a later date for the two episodes, perhaps while 18 was filming.

Just curious.

Thank you for the new thread Xita.

BTW I got an e-mail from Tensai/Spoiler Slayer stating he *is* giving Herc the credit for Asylum (now Normal Again). Personally I love the site but I hate the rankings - I mean you could have a paragraph of information from one source and then one from another, and it just depends how many spoilers you chop it into that gives it a different ranking.

Oh and I sooooo hope D-Sheep-M meant the ending to Episode 18 was related to W/T! Come back sheepy and tell us more *flutters eyelids* pleassssssssssse!

I *think* Tara is in episode 19. I recall seeing something about her being on the set.
Of course if she isn't and is in a later episode I'll just say they postponed her appearance and I was never wrong so I still remain 100% accurate.

I personally see her being in 16-19, and 21-22. See, MN is writing 21 and she mentioned wanting to do a W/T make-up scene. So I put her in 21 so we can have a make-up game of shiver me timberless. And I just want her to be in the season finale. That would also make 18 eps, the same as last season, when she also had a 16-ep contract.

Willow: Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?

How does it end with Willow/Tara? What are Buffy, Dawn, and Xanya doing in this episode? I hope these questions will soon be answered because I'm too eager to know the details.

Can anyone tell me if there will be a new ep airing in the US on March 19th? I don't remember hearing that there would be, but I could be entirely wrong. (Being in the UK, I don't tend to take that much notice of these things.) It's just that my fiance will be in the UK with me from 10-23rd March, and he wants to sort out his taping in advance.

Marti didn't say she wanted to write the reunion scene--there was a post in the last spoiler thread where someone quoted Marti as saying she wanted to write a romantic W/T scene that didn't involve magick or singing. If that's true...well, it's really great, isn't it?

Personally I think the reunion will come in Ep 19. Ep 19 is always a big W/T ep. In S4 it was NMR and despite the angst it ended with the best thing ever--W/T becoming a real couple. In S5 it was TL which was just horrible, with the fight and the brain-suck. So I think in S6 it will be a good one again.

I realize that no actual logic is involved in this theory. But I'm sticking with it anyway.

From the Cross & Stake Spoiler Board - NOTE that I said the Spoiler Board and not the website. These didn't come from AnGeL X. They are at this point unconfirmed... well, except for the one we already knew about from Dark Sheep Mysterioso.

quote:
here are some things on 6.18:

- Written by Drew Greenberg
- Xander and Anya have their first post-wedding run-in and things end up where Xander can't marry her so he tells her that they should break up
- After this conversation, Anya and Halfrek try to curse Xander, but fail because Anya doesn't mean it
- D'Hoffryn and Halfrek try to convince Anya to go vengeance demon
- Willow and Tara go for coffee where it deals with Willow's neck injury (6.17) and other Buffy related problems
- Buffy avoids Spike by putting spells on all of the places she loves not letting Spike in (5.14)
- The Troika concoct another scheme to kill the slayer, but this scheme may kill of one of the Troika prooving the real evil in the evil group.
- Xander goes through a break down not knowing if he can ever fall in love again and so does Anya
- Buffy tells the group about her and Spike and they get pretty mad (Dawn isn't involved in the conversation, but overhears at the stairs and pretends that she doesn't know!!)


Some of these things sound legit. Others sound kind of iffy. Personally, I think there's going to be more W/T in this episode than what is said here, but that's just me.

quote:
Xander tells Anya he can't get married to her. He admits he has had fears for a long time. He doesn't want to make a mistake that will last forever. She walks away from him, stunned. Then he walks in the other direction. Anya returns to the guests. She looks absolutely heartbroken.

Well, since this eppy is finally coming up this week, I thought I might discuss it a bit. I'm really curious as to what the writers ultimately intend to do with Xander and Anya's relationship. Another spoiler (unconfirmed) said they break up completely after the wedding debacle. I haven't spent much time deeply analyzing X/A's relationship. I've never completely understood their attraction to one another. It always seemed to me that Anya just latched onto Xander and he, being bored and horny and single, went along for the, uh, ride. Does their relationship have any great "meaning" to anyone?

That said, I'm dreading seeing Anya literally left at the altar. When Anya discovered that Dawn was stealing from her in OAFA, I was surprised at how much her hurt expression moved me. I think that seeing her crushed on her wedding day is going to leave me devastated. Poor Anya. The good thing about this is that the criminally underused Emma Caulfield will have an opportunity to shine. I've become so impressed with her lately. She's terrific!

I'm glad we'll have lots of Willow and Tara goodness coming up to balance out the pain. (Not that X/A breaking up even slightly compares to W/T! I'm just a big softie and hate to see anyone in pain.)

I wonder if Anya will have a Cordelia-like reaction to all the Scoobies and blame them for Xander's faults. I mean, Willow and Buffy never really seemed to accepted her anyway. I never thought the Xander/Anya wedding would go through, but it's terrible that Xander leaves her at the alter. That's just so mean.

That "spoiler" that says Xander is wondering if he can ever love again rings false in my ears. Why would Xander even be thinking about falling in love again after such a heartbreaking situation? It seems kind of shallow.

"Oh, I just broke the heart of the one person who ever loved me and left her at the alter. Can I ever love again?"

It just doesn't seem like something Xander would say. He'd probably think he doesn't *deserve* the love of anyone again. Or he'd probably not even want to think of the possiblity of loving again.

Not a spoiler here, but a thought, which I don't know if anyone else has mentioned in the past. As we all know Glory 'sucked out' Tara's brain-essence at the end of S5, only for Willow to retrieve it ultimately. So I was wondering if there could be a storyline waiting to come where either or both of our girls discover they have inherited latent god-like powers from the involvement each of them had with Glory - especially Tara, the only victim ever to escape from that hell.

Subject: A few CERTAIN spoilers-no I'm NOT saying where I got them from!!

I'm really excited by this news, so I can't reveal where I got it from-it's nothing that drastic, but I'm extremely lucky to have obtained it.
In Episode 20, Amy reveals she is finding life impossible since coming back, since she has missed out on growing up. She wants to be in her early teens again so she has a few years left of freedom-Willow is tricked into sending her back though, and takes the whole scooby gang with her. Amazingly, this is when Tara and Willow get back together!! The episode is supposed to show how much the scoobies have grown up, and how they secretly enjoy having responsibility. When they come back though, a disaster is facing them, which leads on to ep 21+22. The working title is "The Perfect World". It sounds crap.

This is the first spoiler for EP 20 I have ever seen. I have seen tidbits for 19, 21 and 22. But never 20. Why would that be?

Well, all the tidbits for 21 and 22 are really dubious right now. I'm guessing they're completely false (except for the writers, who we now know). Thus, we've *really* only heard up through 19 so far, and not hearing about 20 until now makes sense.

That said, I'm doubting these are true. Ah well.

Because there is a post on the same board complaining about the lack of info at all for episode 20. In the post a few fans were worried that this means that in episode 20 there will be something huge happening because of the secrecy. So low and behold a bit later this Glorious person posts this fake info. To rile up the fans or to have a joke. These rumors sound ridiculous and completely made up like fanfiction from a fan who misses the Scoobies being teens. I don't think Amy will be back on the show this season. This spoiler is complete rubish.

Actually, I'm fairly sure Amy will be back on the show this season. If anything, she has at least one ep left in her contract, and her plot is not fully resolved yet.

That said, once again I'm seriously doubting if these 'spoilers' are true.

In regards to the last spoiler that was just posted... I don't think Willow would use magic again... especially right after her and Tara get back together. If you watch the episodes after Tabula Rasa, Will is really trying and she is succeeding. She knows that using magic again, would make her lose Tara again. I think our girl is smarter than that. Plus, I agree... it's sounds like crap, anyway.

Answering the query about filming & timing:

By this point in the season a few eps overlap in their production & development; post-production on one, filming another, pre-production and story breaking for future eps, all happening at the same time.

Scenes are rarely filmed in chronological sequence for lots of scheduling reasons; many technical about location availability and such, and sometimes about actors. For example last year SMG had to shuttle between Australia and LA while filming the Scooby-Doo movie and BTVS. OMWF was shot while other eps were also filming because of Joss' schedule. Most recently, the last scene of OAFA was re-shot with James' double leaving the Summer's home as James was presumably unavailable.

So, it is certainly possible that ASH came in and shot his scenes and went home to the UK, but we have no info confirming or denying his presence.

After all, Anya wouldn't want anyone else showing HER up at her wedding, now would she?

Believe it or not, I can actually see Anya honestly loving the dresses. Somehow it all fits, in a terrible terrible way.

Oh yes, I believe she genuinely loves them. We can hear her squealing how gorgeous Willow and Buffy look in the promo. Hee hee. I don't think she is intentionally making them wear those horrible things so she herself will look better. She wants the perfect wedding, so she would want to have the bridesmaids look good as well right? Of course these ladies would look good in anything, including those dresses. And it is a brilliant idea to invite all Xander's relatives and Anya's demon friends as part of the perfect wedding.
It makes total sense to me.

It's the "developed into something more" part that I get lost on. I just don't see it. I just don't feel it. Speeches and proposals quite frankly don't mean s**t. What counts is the way Xander demonstrates his feelings toward Anya, and the sad fact is he consistently treats her as an embarrassment.

Regarding the new spoilers for Ep 18 that list Drew Greenberg as the writer: does this jibe with what we heard previously about who was writing what for the remainder of the season? I'm just surprised because that would mean 3 eps for Drew his freshman season.

Don't know if this counts, but my brother called me in the other day, because there was an interview with Tony Head about his new TV role here in Britain, and apparently he said something quite offhand about having to fly back to the States to film the last few eps of the season. Like I say, I didn't see it in person (it was only when he talked poss spoilers for Buffy I was called), it was on one of those late night chat things, and he could have meant any of the later eps I guess. But at least it means that he will be in later eps like we've guessed.

Just a quick question-do cast regulars *have* to make themselves available for all possible shooting days? Or do they get a schedule, plan the rest of their lives around it, and if they are needed unexpectedly can say-" Sorry, I am unavailable"?
It's just that JM being "unavailable" to reshoot a scene at the end of January for OaFA seems weird to me. Unless he planned on having a chunk of time off around then. They would have been shooting, what, ep 17 or so?

Exactly my feelings. Xander has always acted embarrassed by his relationship with Anya. From the beginning, it seems that he has had to make little or no effort to maintain his relationship with her. She threw herself at him, he made a weak effort to shew her away, but then he gave in to the freely offered sex.

Xander has been a bit of a lost soul since high school having to commit to nothing really, including Anya. His big "you make me feel like a man" speech in "Into the Woods" was nothing but words spoken behind closed doors. Publicly, he still treated her as if she was just some wacky chick who followed him around. When Xander proposed, Anya slapped him and said it was because he was afraid they were all going to die. Sadly, it appears she was right. He didn't want to tell anyone about it all summer and, after they did announce their engagement, he STILL treated her as an embarrassment. Now, when it comes right down to the big wedding day, what is Xander going to do? Leave Anya standing at the altar. To the very end, he could NEVER embrace her publicly.

Say what you want about Anya's odd quirks and blatant materialism, but she has always been publicly loyal, committed and supportive to Xander. She has always gone out of her way to let everyone know how attractive she found him, how good he was in bed, that no one else could have him because he was "mine." What did she ever do to deserve the mild disdain that Xander has always treated her with?

I am so interested to see what the writers do with Anya now. After Halfrek first appeared, it seemed to dawn on Anya that Xander treated her poorly in some areas. Now he's going to dump her on their wedding day. What future do they have together? I mean REALLY? I just don't see that they have some deep abiding love (ala W/T) to get them through. I think single Anya will be fascinating and I hope the show explores her character away from Xander, regardless of their ultimate plans for the couple.

My feelings about Xander and Anya are that they are two people who want very much to be in love with each other.

I've always equated their feelings, and especially Xander's, with the way Buffy felt about Riley. She cared about him and everything, but the deeper passion just wasn't there. That's why Xander's big speech to Anya at the end of Into the Woods was so significant. Because he knew it too. He knew that he'd been doing to Anya exactly what Buffy had been doing to Riley, so he decided to take his own advice and do his very best appreciate and love her.

But can you just decide you're going to love someone? I don't think so. No matter how much you might wish you could.

Certainly their relationship has often been portrayed as a contrast to Will and Tara's, as in The Body and Tabula Rasa.

Sure you can. It all depends on how much money they have, heh heh.

I think I personally have always cringed at Xander and Anya. True, she's not the easiest person to get close to, but he has always been so ashamed of her in front of the other Scoobies. And that always bothered me, you know? I always thought that no matter how a person acts, in front of other people your first loyalty is always to them. I dunno. Perhaps my thinking is screwed. *shrugs*

Ok fact Buffy's interior and the porch are part of the stages. So whenever we see the street Buffy lives on they have to go to Cotta. SO we see James leave Buffy's house from the inside, then at a whole new location we see his double's back of the head because they prob. said hey James you have no lines really when we leave the house so you don't have to come on location. Now as for *have* to be avail. YES, the contracts in most cases are pay or play. So they get paid whether they are in it or not. This maybe not be the case on BVS, anyway the only one's that don't have to be avail are people like Johnathan and Amy, they asked for Amy a lot in the past but she was doing that show in Ozzie land. Basically, not everytime you see a cast member is the actual member. H-wood has stand ins has photo doubles etc. I tried to explain this the best I could.

Yeah, it's always noticable how he sort of looks ashamed whenever she says or does something he considers inappropriate. I guess my perception of being in love means that you find even the quirks endearing in their own way, and I don't think he ever really has. Halfrek certainly had some valid points. I keep going back to Tabula Rasa, like the way she was wondering about the harp and everything and it was Tara instead of Xander that understood and appreciated what Anya was thinking about.

I think OAFA is really one of the first times I've ever seen him just automatically take her side in something, and geez, what a moment to pick for that little revelation.

Like I said, I think Xander's a good guy who really wants to be in love. He's just not.

I always kind of wondered if a good part of Willow's problem with Anya, aside from being worried about her vengeful tendencies, was that she knows Xander well enough to realize that he's probably not in love with her. That's why I figured she had the kind of 'stunned and not necessarily in a good way' reaction when she found out they were getting married.

I also remember back in The Replacement how she asked him why it took him so long to think about Anya's safety when he knew he had a double out there. Since she knows what it's like to really be completely in love with someone, she recognizes that he doesn't necessarily have those kinds of feelings about Anya.

Am I the only one who wonders why Xander invited his family esp. his father to his wedding? I mean from the way he talks about them over the years - calling them monsters - and from what we know from his home live, like sleeping outside at X-mas (in Sunnydale!!)or what we've seen in Restless ... it's sounds to me pretty abusive ... kinda like Tara family if you think about it ...

Do you believe Tara would invite them to her future wedding too Willow (*crosses fingers that will see it*)?

Not a spoiler here, but a thought, which I don't know if anyone else has mentioned in the past. As we all know Glory 'sucked out' Tara's brain-essence at the end of S5, only for Willow to retrieve it ultimately. So I was wondering if there could be a storyline waiting to come where either or both of our girls discover they have inherited latent god-like powers from the involvement each of them had with Glory - especially Tara, the only victim ever to escape from that hell.

I'm really excited by this news, so I can't reveal where I got it from-it's nothing that drastic, but I'm extremely lucky to have obtained it.
In Episode 20, Amy reveals she is finding life impossible since coming back, since she has missed out on growing up. She wants to be in her early teens again so she has a few years left of freedom-Willow is tricked into sending her back though, and takes the whole scooby gang with her. Amazingly, this is when Tara and Willow get back together!! The episode is supposed to show how much the scoobies have grown up, and how they secretly enjoy having responsibility. When they come back though, a disaster is facing them, which leads on to ep 21+22. The working title is "The Perfect World". It sounds crap.

Hmmm.

Sounds interesting. But this points something out to me that kinda bugged me.

This is the first spoiler for EP 20 I have ever seen. I have seen tidbits for 19, 21 and 22. But never 20. Why would that be?

Well, all the tidbits for 21 and 22 are really dubious right now. I'm guessing they're completely false (except for the writers, who we now know). Thus, we've *really* only heard up through 19 so far, and not hearing about 20 until now makes sense.

That said, I'm doubting these are true. Ah well.

Because there is a post on the same board complaining about the lack of info at all for episode 20. In the post a few fans were worried that this means that in episode 20 there will be something huge happening because of the secrecy. So low and behold a bit later this Glorious person posts this fake info. To rile up the fans or to have a joke. These rumors sound ridiculous and completely made up like fanfiction from a fan who misses the Scoobies being teens. I don't think Amy will be back on the show this season. This spoiler is complete rubish.

Actually, I'm fairly sure Amy will be back on the show this season. If anything, she has at least one ep left in her contract, and her plot is not fully resolved yet.

That said, once again I'm seriously doubting if these 'spoilers' are true.

In regards to the last spoiler that was just posted... I don't think Willow would use magic again... especially right after her and Tara get back together. If you watch the episodes after Tabula Rasa, Will is really trying and she is succeeding. She knows that using magic again, would make her lose Tara again. I think our girl is smarter than that. Plus, I agree... it's sounds like crap, anyway.

Answering the query about filming & timing:

By this point in the season a few eps overlap in their production & development; post-production on one, filming another, pre-production and story breaking for future eps, all happening at the same time.

Scenes are rarely filmed in chronological sequence for lots of scheduling reasons; many technical about location availability and such, and sometimes about actors. For example last year SMG had to shuttle between Australia and LA while filming the Scooby-Doo movie and BTVS. OMWF was shot while other eps were also filming because of Joss' schedule. Most recently, the last scene of OAFA was re-shot with James' double leaving the Summer's home as James was presumably unavailable.

So, it is certainly possible that ASH came in and shot his scenes and went home to the UK, but we have no info confirming or denying his presence.

After all, Anya wouldn't want anyone else showing HER up at her wedding, now would she?

What counts is the way Xander demonstrates his feelings toward Anya, and the sad fact is he consistently treats her as an embarrassment.

Regarding the new spoilers for Ep 18 that list Drew Greenberg as the writer: does this jibe with what we heard previously about who was writing what for the remainder of the season? I'm just surprised because that would mean 3 eps for Drew his freshman season.

Don't know if this counts, but my brother called me in the other day, because there was an interview with Tony Head about his new TV role here in Britain, and apparently he said something quite offhand about having to fly back to the States to film the last few eps of the season. Like I say, I didn't see it in person (it was only when he talked poss spoilers for Buffy I was called), it was on one of those late night chat things, and he could have meant any of the later eps I guess. But at least it means that he will be in later eps like we've guessed.

Just a quick question-do cast regulars *have* to make themselves available for all possible shooting days? Or do they get a schedule, plan the rest of their lives around it, and if they are needed unexpectedly can say-" Sorry, I am unavailable"?
It's just that JM being "unavailable" to reshoot a scene at the end of January for OaFA seems weird to me. Unless he planned on having a chunk of time off around then. They would have been shooting, what, ep 17 or so?

Exactly my feelings. Xander has always acted embarrassed by his relationship with Anya. From the beginning, it seems that he has had to make little or no effort to maintain his relationship with her. She threw herself at him, he made a weak effort to shew her away, but then he gave in to the freely offered sex.

Xander has been a bit of a lost soul since high school having to commit to nothing really, including Anya. His big "you make me feel like a man" speech in "Into the Woods" was nothing but words spoken behind closed doors. Publicly, he still treated her as if she was just some wacky chick who followed him around. When Xander proposed, Anya slapped him and said it was because he was afraid they were all going to die. Sadly, it appears she was right. He didn't want to tell anyone about it all summer and, after they did announce their engagement, he STILL treated her as an embarrassment. Now, when it comes right down to the big wedding day, what is Xander going to do? Leave Anya standing at the altar. To the very end, he could NEVER embrace her publicly.

Say what you want about Anya's odd quirks and blatant materialism, but she has always been publicly loyal, committed and supportive to Xander. She has always gone out of her way to let everyone know how attractive she found him, how good he was in bed, that no one else could have him because he was "mine." What did she ever do to deserve the mild disdain that Xander has always treated her with?

I am so interested to see what the writers do with Anya now. After Halfrek first appeared, it seemed to dawn on Anya that Xander treated her poorly in some areas. Now he's going to dump her on their wedding day. What future do they have together? I mean REALLY? I just don't see that they have some deep abiding love (ala W/T) to get them through. I think single Anya will be fascinating and I hope the show explores her character away from Xander, regardless of their ultimate plans for the couple.

My feelings about Xander and Anya are that they are two people who want very much to be in love with each other.

I've always equated their feelings, and especially Xander's, with the way Buffy felt about Riley. She cared about him and everything, but the deeper passion just wasn't there. That's why Xander's big speech to Anya at the end of Into the Woods was so significant. Because he knew it too. He knew that he'd been doing to Anya exactly what Buffy had been doing to Riley, so he decided to take his own advice and do his very best appreciate and love her.

But can you just decide you're going to love someone? I don't think so. No matter how much you might wish you could.

Certainly their relationship has often been portrayed as a contrast to Will and Tara's, as in The Body and Tabula Rasa.

Sure you can. It all depends on how much money they have, heh heh.

I think I personally have always cringed at Xander and Anya. True, she's not the easiest person to get close to, but he has always been so ashamed of her in front of the other Scoobies. And that always bothered me, you know? I always thought that no matter how a person acts, in front of other people your first loyalty is always to them. I dunno. Perhaps my thinking is screwed. *shrugs*

Ok fact Buffy's interior and the porch are part of the stages. So whenever we see the street Buffy lives on they have to go to Cotta. SO we see James leave Buffy's house from the inside, then at a whole new location we see his double's back of the head because they prob. said hey James you have no lines really when we leave the house so you don't have to come on location. Now as for *have* to be avail. YES, the contracts in most cases are pay or play. So they get paid whether they are in it or not. This maybe not be the case on BVS, anyway the only one's that don't have to be avail are people like Johnathan and Amy, they asked for Amy a lot in the past but she was doing that show in Ozzie land. Basically, not everytime you see a cast member is the actual member. H-wood has stand ins has photo doubles etc. I tried to explain this the best I could.

Yeah, it's always noticable how he sort of looks ashamed whenever she says or does something he considers inappropriate. I guess my perception of being in love means that you find even the quirks endearing in their own way, and I don't think he ever really has. Halfrek certainly had some valid points. I keep going back to Tabula Rasa, like the way she was wondering about the harp and everything and it was Tara instead of Xander that understood and appreciated what Anya was thinking about.

I think OAFA is really one of the first times I've ever seen him just automatically take her side in something, and geez, what a moment to pick for that little revelation.

Like I said, I think Xander's a good guy who really wants to be in love. He's just not.

I always kind of wondered if a good part of Willow's problem with Anya, aside from being worried about her vengeful tendencies, was that she knows Xander well enough to realize that he's probably not in love with her. That's why I figured she had the kind of 'stunned and not necessarily in a good way' reaction when she found out they were getting married.

I also remember back in The Replacement how she asked him why it took him so long to think about Anya's safety when he knew he had a double out there. Since she knows what it's like to really be completely in love with someone, she recognizes that he doesn't necessarily have those kinds of feelings about Anya.

Am I the only one who wonders why Xander invited his family esp. his father to his wedding? I mean from the way he talks about them over the years - calling them monsters - and from what we know from his home live, like sleeping outside at X-mas (in Sunnydale!!)or what we've seen in Restless ... it's sounds to me pretty abusive ... kinda like Tara family if you think about it ...

Do you believe Tara would invite them to her future wedding too Willow (*crosses fingers that will see it*)?

General Season 6 Spoilers - Part 7 - The Voyage Home

Postby willowtarasandwich » Thu Feb 28, 2002 2:49 am

Not a spoiler here, but a thought, which I don't know if anyone else has mentioned in the past. As we all know Glory 'sucked out' Tara's brain-essence at the end of S5, only for Willow to retrieve it ultimately. So I was wondering if there could be a storyline waiting to come where either or both of our girls discover they have inherited latent god-like powers from the involvement each of them had with Glory - especially Tara, the only victim ever to escape from that hell.

*bsd Tara edit.

General Season 6 Spoilers - Part 7 - The Voyage Home

Postby spikeme » Thu Feb 28, 2002 10:52 am

Someone named Glorious just posted this over at BC&S, because it's W/T focused, I thought I would share, I don't know if they are true or not, like all posted at BC&S. Just an FYI.


Date Posted: 12:43:09 02/28/02 Thu
Author: Glorious
Author Host/IP: webprox1.livjm.ac.uk / 150.204.254.140
Subject: A few CERTAIN spoilers-no I'm NOT saying where I got them from!!

I'm really excited by this news, so I can't reveal where I got it from-it's nothing that drastic, but I'm extremely lucky to have obtained it.
In Episode 20, Amy reveals she is finding life impossible since coming back, since she has missed out on growing up. She wants to be in her early teens again so she has a few years left of freedom-Willow is tricked into sending her back though, and takes the whole scooby gang with her. Amazingly, this is when Tara and Willow get back together!! The episode is supposed to show how much the scoobies have grown up, and how they secretly enjoy having responsibility. When they come back though, a disaster is facing them, which leads on to ep 21+22. The working title is "The Perfect World". It sounds crap.
