What I really wanted to post though was this:
'Doc is set to return, and be part of the season long big bad, along with .
. . Willow. She will be possessed by 'First Evil' and I have heard that this
could result in a first for BtVS in a Season end cliffhanger! What I heard was
that Buffy will most likely have to seek out the evil and destroy it, or to
kill Willow, and as the season ends we won't be knowing which path she has chosen.'
I got it from my brother in law who works with the show - not sure *exactly*
what he does. This, of course, being how I have been able to see the first 4
eps of the series as well - and I'm pretty impressed so far...
How likely does this sound? I mean, it could quite easily be a fakey sent out
by producers, but at least some of it could fit in with some of the other things
we know about... I shall hassle for more information.
Posted
by Sweetie on Fanforum:
There's a scene where Dawn is lying in bed and Willow opens her door to come
wake her up.
Also, Willow standing in front of a desk with papers, and Willow sitting in
front of a rat cage.
Amy has officially been de-ratted. She's sitting on the bed (almost exactly
like 'Something Blue') looking really scared and frightened.
Spike stuff:
Spike walks out of an alley and looks onto a Sunnydale street (in front of 'Sun
Cinema') and looks at all the people walking through the town... he spots a
girl walking into the alley. She's walking down the alley, and he jumps in front
of her. She kind of walks the other way and he jumps in front of her again.
Very cat-and-mouse like. He paces in front of her, talking to her for a minute
(very Season 2... looks hungry), then lunges in to bite her. He then jumps back
in pain from the chip. She takes the chance to run away.
From episode 9
BUFFY: You're not a man, you're a thing.
SPIKE: I've changed.
Later in the scene.
BUFFY: You're nothing... you're a disgusting thing.
More from the same scene:
We still don't know what episode this is but it sounds like episode 9 where
Buffy ends up in the mental hospital and no one knows what is and isn't real.
I say that because there is a reference to Giles leaving and we know he leaves
in episode 8.
This is scene 8.:
Buffy: Ugh, Ew, gross Spike. He left. I was depressed. Ergo badness[sleeping
with Spike?] and...You have to let it go.
Spike: I've changed. (might be "I'm changing" or "I can change."
Buffy: Please. Let it go.
She walks away. Spike grabs her.
Buffy: Don't touch me
She hits him. He hits her back hard and she falls on the ground. He has a very
delayed chip reaction. She gets up, hits him back and he falls down, which is
when she says "You're nothing but a disgusting thing."
He's on his knees facing the camera, wiping his mouth and she's standing behind
him...looks like more "you're beneath me" imagery here.
That's all of it. Scene 9 is the scene Sweetie posted where Spike tries to bite
a woman. Sweetie speculates that he is testing whether the chip is still working
after having such a delayed reaction, plus he's angry with Buffy.

Here's the scoop from an article on www.testpattern.net:
"Tuesday, October 30, 2001... Okay Buffy fans, pull out your daggers and
thrust away on this latest piece of information we've just received surrounding
the upcoming musical episode entitled "Once More with Feeling". According
to a very credible and reliable source who shall remain nameless, there will
be not one, but two versions of the musical episode. Our anonymous scooper reveals
the first will air on November 6 and clock in somewhere in the running of 57
minutes. Aside from what has already been widely known... "UPN is planning
to rerun the Musical during the next week - most likely on Friday, the 9th,
but it will only run 48 minutes." Our "scoop shifter" also points
out this cut of the episode will be the one that runs from that point forward
in the land of syndication and reuns. What does it all mean? Well, fans of Buffy
may want to set their VCRs as the full cut is airing only once on television
but will be included on DVD when, and if, Fox releases Season 6 into the digital
market."

OK - felt the need to share this.... found on a newsgroup of a friend recently...
quote:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Beck: A couple of things -
Joss came up with lyrics, melodies, the underlying chords/harmony, as well as
general stylistic direction for each of 16 musical numbers (count 'em). The
songs started out as four-track recordings Joss made himself, playing piano
or guitar, singing the male parts, with his wife covering the female parts.
I co-arranged and co-produced the songs with Jesse Tobias of the band Splendid.
Joss was very much involved at every stage of music production, and often surprised
me with the detail and specificity of his ideas, considering his lack of formal
training and comparatively light musical experience - way more thought and creative
vision than a handful of musicians in a room jamming. These songs make the exposition
song in Restless seem like amateur hour.
My score contribution is minimal. There are 35 minutes of Joss-written songs,
another few of instrumental arrangements of the songs, and maybe one or two
minutes of original score by me.
Yes, the cast did all of their own singing. The recording studio in the promos
is my own. If you look closely you can see my reflection in the glass the Xander
promo, I'm standing up on the left side of the screen. That's me laughing hysterically
at the end of Willow's promo as well. (I'm famous!!)
We're doing final mixes on the songs now. There will most likely be a soundtrack
CD commercially available shortly after the episode airs. It should have all
the songs from the episode as well as a surprise or two.
The episode is not for everybody... certainly not everybody on *this*. But I've
seen it, and I happen to think it's a thing of brilliance. I consider it an
honor to have been involved.

tifa_strife asks: Wanda, any info on Buffy and Spike?
Wanda replies: In the musical episode, look for some yummy ac-shun worth singing
about.
drozymandias asks: Wanda, very simple: The Musical: Yea or Nay... please please
please say a huge Yea
Wanda replies: YEA. I must warn you, though, that I'm a huge fan of all things
theatrical and experimental ... and I think Joss deserves BIG props for being
so daring. In my opinion, it's a good episode. And actually, the cast really
CAN sing. Even Xander manages to escape off-key humiliation.
teriberi asks: Wanda will Angel and Cordy ever be a couple? Angel fans want
to know.
Wanda replies: I've heard that he WILL have an "in-house romance"
at some point this season.
Number 10 from Spoiler T or T is TRUE. Dawn falls pretty hard for her new guy
before realizing he’s not exactly prime necking material.
beckygene asks: Will the gang ever learn that Buffy was in Heaven, and Not Hell?
Wanda replies: Yes. In fact, Willow's going to conjure up a spell that's supposed
to make Buffy forget her memories from up above. But unfortunately, it takes
a disastrous turn for the worse. Willow's just getting in deeper and deeper…
rufololb asks: Assuming Willow goes evil (nudge nudge, wink wink) will they
be able to turn her back to good? Willow isn't going to leave the show is she!?
Wanda replies: Alyson Hannigan is NOT going anywhere--Contracts, my dear, contracts.
In fact, her role is "expanding" this season.

I cannot make out what the third line of Spike's song is.
Xander: "See now that was disturbing"
Tara singing in front of a lake. (From what I can tell, she has a nice voice)
though I can't make out the first line of Tara's song.
Dawn dancing with one of the three odd men/creatures things again. Tara singing:
Nothing I can do.
Spike and Buffy in his crypt. Impassioned Spike falling to his knees in front
of Buffy. Buffy looking surprised. Upset? Shocked? Wigging? Tara singing: You

read this please and tell me if this is likey to happen :)
Author Host/IP: spider-ti024.proxy.aol.com / 152.163.194.184
Subject: possible crossover (spoilerish)
okay, i just talked to a friend of mine in LA who works in the industry and
is contracted out to the WB right now, and i begged her for spoilers, and she
was all squirmish b/c of confidentiality clauses and whatnot but she did say
that the word was that at the end of the season a crossover would happen...sort
of...the WB still does not want a crossover event, but they want to do it by
having SMG as a "guest star" on Angel...i'd prefer angel on
buffy but either way i'd be happy... you all know i have been posting here for
a long time and i don't make stuff up. this just got passed along to me and
i am passing it along to you.

Subject: I posted this last night. what my friend said was...
In reply to: jay 's message, "Is this true? someone plese confirm ;) Re:Future
of B&A eps." on 01:26:14 10/31/01 Wed
she said the episode was not written yet which means things are up in the air
(she also said they had to rewrite an Angel episode because it had a building
exploding or falling or something) but that plans were being made, and the WB
sort of recanted their "no crossovers ever" policy. it would not be
a bona fide crossover but just "special guest star sarah michelle gellar"
on angel towards the end of season 6.
Join me in the Crypt of Decryption:
First, the ups: the musical is shaping up to be quite a Spike-centric episode. The promos are confirming that Spike and Buffy confront their feelings for each other. It is unlikely that Buffy would confess to loving Spike at this point, but as evidenced in last week's episode (All the Way), she certainly has some feelings for him. The new promo suggests that Spike confesses (re-confesses?) his feelings for her, is rebuffed, then tells Buffy to leave him alone. Yet Herc has promised viewers a kiss, and some of the scenes from the promos certainly suggest an impending kiss.
Now the downs: Sweetie's Episode 9 spoilers indicate an impending confrontation. The key, though, it that this episode is described as one in which Buffy, and the audience, do not know what is real. Could these scenes be part of this spell/demon infection? At this time we do not know. However, thigns happen that are not easily forgivable--by either party. This confrontation may very well set the stage for angst and conflict for Spike for the remainder of the season.
But
as fellow BAPSters have pointed out, mean behavior on Buffy's part alters the
balance of power between Buffy and Spike. If Buffy does something for which
Spike will have to forgive her, then the two stand on more equal ground. Otherwise,
Spike is in a perpetual state of being "beneath" Buffy on a moral
level.
I do not know what to make of these crossover rumors. Fans want crossovers so
badly that I cannot rule out that these rumors are wishful thinking. I doubt
the writers want crossovers because of the logistical nightmares involved and
because of network pressure.
In the meantime, we have very little spoilage for upcoming episodes. I suspect
that is because plot developments in Episodes 7 and 8 will be explosive, and
to reveal any information is to reveal too much. I hope to compile a summary
of what is known about Episode 9 next week.
