Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Spoilers Various news sources have reported that SMG has confirmed she will not return for an additional season of Buffy. I put it in the grid at the bottom of this page, thinking that would be enough. I was wrong. A full 75% of my submissions on the Submit-A-Spoiler form over the last few days were writing to tell me that the show is over at the end of this season. Thank you! I know! Please, please, please for the love of Joss PLEASE stop sending this news to me! Thanks!

Will there be an eighth season? 3/11 - Nathan Fillion (Mal on Firefly) has been confirmed as Caleb. Not Sisqo, as was previously reported by some sources. Creator Joss Whedon says: "Nathan Fillion has a leading man’s looks, but he’s actually horribly evil, so he makes Caleb the epic foil for Buffy that he needs to be. Caleb calls himself a preacher, but his habit of murdering girls and his alliance with the darkest evil known to man makes him exactly the sort of guy whose ass Buffy needs to kick."

Episode 7.17: Lies My Parents Told Me Airdate: 3/25/2003

3/11 - The Scoobies’ failure to nullify the First’s hold on Spike inspires Wood to pursue a vendetta as the vampire relives the day his soul was taken away. Anne: Caroline Lagerfelt. Drusilla: Juliet Landau. Young Robin Wood: Damani Roberts. Vamp: Ira Steck. Kennedy: Iyari Limon. Source: TV Guide Online 2/25 - The new title, Lies My Parents Told Me, refers to Nikki (Wood’s Mom), Anna (Spike’s Mom) and Giles (Buffy’s surrogate daddy). As expected, it features a Wood and Spike confrontation. Giles is back and we find out why Giles has been missing — he’d been seeking info on how to detrigger Spike. He has Willow do a spell to try and determine the trigger and hopefully detrigger him. They figure out the origin of the trigger song — it was Spike’s Mom’s favorite — but Spike refuses to supply more details and work through its significance, which is necessary to a successful detriggering. Giles tries to continue to get Spike to cooperate, but Buffy stops him — says the spell didn’t work and she’s releasing Spike. (He’s chained in the basement while they work the spell.) Which means the trigger is still active. Wood and Giles are both very concerned about this... as are the Potentials. Wood approaches Giles and asks him to help Wood kill Spike because he’s a danger. He tells Giles who he is — actually Giles guesses the moment he learns that Wood was raised by a Watcher and which Watcher. Wood says it’s not revenge though — just doing the right thing to keep Buffy safe. Giles agrees — sets Spike up for Wood to kill him by taking Buffy out of the picture for a few hours, while Wood is *looking after* Spike at his (Wood’s) place. PS — Spike had saved Wood’s life in the teaser. Giles takes Buffy away while it’s happening, so he can work on her *training* — tells her all about the greater good; the need to let someone die if necessary in order to save the world. He speaks of Spike as a liability. He says that Angel was wise enough to leave because he knew how harmful the relationship was, but that Spike doesn’t have that kind of sense. Buffy says Spike is there because she wants him there and needs him for the fight. Giles reminds her the First is using Spike. Buffy agrees, but says that Spike is innocent. Giles notes that so was Ben — and the truth comes out about Benjy’s timely death. Buffy realizes that Spike has been set up and runs off in horror to try and save him. Meanwhile, Wood has taken Spike to his garage — nasty place for a vamp, walls lined with crosses. Wood tells him who he is — Inigo Montoya flashbacks, anyone? Anyway, he doesn’t want to kill NiceSpike, so he tries to trigger him with the still active trigger. However, instead of instant EvilSpike, we get confuzzled Spike, slipping in and out of flashbacks revolving around his Mom and his decision to vamp her — and the aftermath. Flashbacks interspersed with ongoing fight with Wood. The Mom stuff is very sad, btw. It’s also striking how very *human* Spike seems, even as a young vampire — still loves his Mom and wants to share this wonderful gift of eternal life and health with her. As a result of this interaction and the flashbacks, Spike resolves his issues — and the trigger is broken. Spike thanks Wood for untriggering him — says he’s his own man now — and he’s going to kill Wood out of free will. He vamps out and bites Wood. Buffy shows up after Spike has finished with Wood, who is still alive. Spike tells Buffy he gave Wood a free pass this time because of his Mom — but if he even looks funny at Spike again, Spike will kill him. Buffy tries to check out his injuries, but he brushes her off and leaves. Buffy tells Wood that there’s no time for vengeance — and ps, he’s seeking vengeance against a man who no longer exists — and Spike is her strongest warrior and she needs him. And that if Wood tries anything again, she’ll let Spike kill him. At the end, Giles says he knows she’s angry, but this was for the greater good. She tells him Wood failed; Spike is still alive. Giles says that doesn’t change the fact that he was right and she still has to learn — Buffy stops him, and tells him she thinks he’s taught her everything she needs to know. And closes the door in his face. Source: Forums4Fans 1/23 - Principal Robin Wood goes vampire hunting, in search of Spike, the vampire who killed his mother. As Wood hunts for Spike, he flashes back to 1977. He remembers a time when he was four years old, hiding behind a park bench in Central Park, watching with wide eyes as his mother fights to a truce against Spike. As the episode progresses, Wood will continue to go back to his childhood and remember his mother. Wood is not the only one doing some reminiscing. The hunted, Spike, also flashes back to an earlier time with his mother, Constance. Seen in 1880, Constance is a frail, sickly woman in her 50s with a kind and gentle spirit, who dotes on her son’s lame poetry and showers him with her loving pride. It is during this time that Drusilla turned Spike into a vampire, although it’s not yet clear if we will see a repeat of this part of his history in this flashback. One of the first actions Spike takes after his transformation is to give his mother eternal life as well, but he only succeeds in transforming her into a monster. Unwilling to lead a vampire’s life, Constance denounces Spike, (swipe to reveal secret message) forcing him to combat. Spike kills his mother, but just before she dies, Constance reverts back to the kind and gentle woman she was - then explodes into dust Source: FilmJerk.com Episode 7.18: Dirty Girls

Caleb is a fallen preacher, quietly convinced he’s on the side of right. He is seductive, sexual and cold as steel. But whose side is Caleb on?

3/16 - Spike and Andrew discover a crypt that only the slayer can enter. Source: TV Tome 3/11 - Opens with Buffy wandering around Sunnydale and running into Clem, who is fleeing town in a new car. They have small talk banter, with Clem acknowledging that the situation is bad, getting worse, and she should get out of town. Of course, Buffy is staying, but Clem drives off..... It is confirmed that Xander has lost an eye (very sad, he is being brave and making pirate jokes but it is obvious how torn up everyone is). Giles is in this episode. Everyone in heavy research mode — Anya has chatted up her remaining demon buddies and has found out that the ubervamps can be staked (although their skin is extra tough) but holy water does nothing. Faith decides to take the depressed SITs dancing at the Bronze. Giles tells Buffy that Spike is off on a mission, which she is not happy about — and then she goes off in search of the SITs. Faith and the SITs are having a great time at the Bronze, when a bunch of police arrive to haul off Faith. It appears that SOMETHING is going on with the Police, as they have ducttaped over their badges and are essentially acting as a hit squad. They haul Faith outside and basically try to kill her — the SITs try to help and then Buffy shows up. However, I don’t think Buffy gets that the police are possessed; instead, she gives Faith a big lecture about keeping the SITs safe and so on. Faith says — why weren’t you concerned about keeping them safe when you took them to the wine cellar? Buffy hits her — Faith just takes it. Back at Casa Summers, Much bickering ensues. Buffy says she is in charge because she is the SLAYER. Someone says - well, isn’t Faith a Slayer too?? Faith is all like — hold on — no — I don’t want to lead anyone. Everyone decides they will follow Faith and not Buffy; Buffy is shocked — she can’t just sit back and watch everything go to hell and she doesn’t think Faith can handle it. Dawn tells Buffy to leave the house if she can’t go along, cause Faith is now in charge. Buffy looks around for support, but no one backs down. Buffy leaves the house. Source: SpoilerSlayer.com 2/9 - Highly Unconfirmed: "In episode 19, the Scoobies discover a spell that will give physical form to the First, allowing it to now be harmed. In the fourth act, a massive assult against the First occurs, it morphing into past big bads to do battle. In the end, the First is wounded and forced to retreat. The final moments of the ep, much like Lessons, end in the school basement, with a realization learned from the fight earlier. It is more than just the physical forms of the dead it takes...it is their complete essence. The concluding shot has the First, in the guise of the Master, walking to Principal Wood’s office, muttering an incantation. The Hellmouth begins to open."

2/16 - James Marsters talked with E! Online about the rest of the season: "The end of the season will be very romantic and that’s all I can say. For my character and for Buffy. The Buffy-Spike thing is going to end very romantically and very dramatically. That doesn’t necessarily mean the characters are going to be together, but it doesn’t preclude that either. We’re talking about something larger than sex, but it doesn’t preclude sex. I don’t want to spill the beans. For the first time, I know something that will happen, and I don’t want to blow it. It’s both the coolest thing and the worst idea I’ve ever heard of. It’s the last thing I ever would have thought about doing, but when you say it, it almost seems inevitable. But we’re going to piss off people—oh my God! But we’re gonna make them love more". Source: E!

With Quentin Travers and so much of the watchers council wiped out (and assuming Giles isn’t really dead) will Buffy’s former mentor be sought to rejoin the council as new head watcher? Dawn will soon discover that she too is a slayer candidate. Willow is expected to update us on Miss Kitty Fantastico sometime in the next episode or two.

There’s no way this could possibly be true.) "At the end of the season a chasm opens in the earth and thousands of baddies emerge. Buffy morphs into some kind of "uber slayer" and fights them. The digital price tag will be huge. Please don’t include my name on this spoiler I dont want to get my animation friend in trouble." Source: SpoilerSluts.com user "Alison" Intresting Speculation from "Dominus": "It turns out that "The Slayer" and "The First Evil" both come from one "SOURCE". Initially the first was able to have its way without too much interference, but then the source, knowing that it could not directly interevene without permanenetly destroying that delicate balance between "good" and "evil", indirectly created a power source (in the form of 3 men) that created the slayer. And so you better understand, the source is not good or evil it simply is, over eons things like early mankind, magical interventions, etc. allowed the creation of the first and the slayer. Also buffy’s constant winning ways have disrupted the balance in the favor of good. In the end they will be stalemated and the first will be in essence defeated and buffy will have to be the last slayer in order to recreate the balance and allow the world to exist as it should. TRUST ME, I SWEAR THIS IS ENTIRLEY TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE POST THIS FOR ALL TO SEE!!!!!!!!!I BEG OF YOU" 12/29 - When Faith comes to Sunnydale she won’t know who Dawn is!!

Will they or won’t they? The future of the Buffyverse has yet to be decided. Here’s what we know. If there’s a season 8 or a spinoff... Interested? Contracted? UPN "There is a whole different attitude at UPN right now, and it’s not the same attitude that first brought ’Buffy’ to the network in the first place. (Les) Moonves wants ratings winners, and nothing else. It is believed around here that if Moonves had been running UPN two years ago, ’Buffy’ never would’ve been there in the first place...(The show) was great, and I don’t think anyone regrets moving it to UPN, but there just isn’t any life to it left on television, and it seems nothing is set in stone over there (at UPN)". The sagging ratings aren’t the only reason though (they’re still one of the network’s best), its combining that with the expense that is causing faces to blanche." -SyFy Portal

The BBC is reporting that Eliza Dushku is going to take over the show after the end of this season. No other source has collaborated this story. -The BBC N/A Joss Whedon "If Sarah doesn’t come back, there won’t be a show called Buffy," he reveals. "However, if Sarah doesn’t come back, there still could be a show. I’m not tired of the universe. There is definitely a way to continue, but whether or not I will, remains to be seen." N/A Marti Noxon "We built this season so that it will work if it is the end it and it will also work if it isn’t the end," says Noxon. "I think that Sarah has not made an official announcement, but I think it’s very unlikely the show will come back as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think if it does come back, it’s going to be a different incarnation." N/A Sarah Michelle Gellar Sarah Michelle Gellar has given Entertainment Weekly an exclusive regarding her departure for its March 7 issue, however sources close to the UPN series confirm to Zap2it.com that the actress will not be part of the cast should "Buffy" return in the fall. No Nicholas Brendon "Hang it up? Yeah, I don’t know. Hey, listen, I’m having a great time," he said. "I haven’t heard that people think that this should be the last year of the show. We are [technically] on year six, because our first year was [as] a midseason replacement. So if people think we should hang it up, well, then, fine, that’s what they think. But I haven’t heard anyone think ... that we should hang it up. We’re having a great time, and it’s still a great show. I would love to [do another season]. ... I think we have some great stuff in it still." -SciFi Wire

Nicholas Brendon’s manager has released an official statement about recent rumours that Xander would move over to the spin-off: "Nick will absolutely not be going over to ’Angel’. The possibility has never been entertained, nor would Nick be interested if it had been mentioned". Unknown Anthony Stewart Head Unknown

Regarding the "Ripper" series- "I talked to Joss," says Head. "He said that instead of getting himself committed to another hour-long detective show like Angel, he’d rather do a two-hour movie. "It would look in depth into the character more. He’s interested in Giles’ character. It could be a one-off, and if anybody liked it, they’d go from there." Unknown Allyson Hannigan "It completely depends on [creator] Joss [Whedon] and his involvement, because if he walks away, then I’m going to beg him to take me with him. I think this is the last year. It feels like the last year." Would she do a spinoff show centered around Willow? "I don’t know," she said. -SciFi Wire Unknown James Marsters "I’m interested in continuing with the show," he said. "Contractually, it depends on if it’s still Buffy or not whether I’m committed to it. That’s the legal sense. But artistically I’m interested in continuing with the writers and producers." -SciFi Wire No Emma Caulfield No. Confirmed in UK Buffy magazine and to ATN Zone No Michelle Trachtenberg Unknown Unknown Eliza Dushku Producers have approached Eliza Dushku about a Faith spinoff, but she’s booked for another pilot which would conflict with a Buffy spinoff. Spinoff Rumors: Rumor #1: The new spin-off will be based on a new school designed to train potential slayers. Kennedy, who comes from a very wealthy background, will open and finance the school.

Rumor #2: A Willow spinoff.

Rumor #3: A Faith Spinoff. This one has already been largely shot down by other sources.
