General Season 6 Spoilers - Part 6 - The Bermuda Triangle

[Dr.G]

Shanie?! Did you tell your aunt that next time she should tell you *the moment* she spies anything close to a Buffy shoot? Now of course there will probably never be a next time, and oh I'll bet Aly and Amber were there as well.

[Shaniezak]

Yes, I believe that point has been suitably emphasized, Garfield.

But oh, the timing . . . fantastically horrible as always with me.

[Nouvelle]

I did what I said I was gonna do and went to Walden-Books and copied down the exact story on Buffy, here goes:

How can Buffy possibly top last years battle with the God Glory or the years outstanding musical episode? According to executive porduce Marti Noxen, topping past efforts is'nt the plan. "I think some of the fun is making it feel fresh. Were not going to be able to kill Buffy anymore (laughs). We're definetly moving to an exiting season finale but it's going to be different than last year. We're having a fun season. What is coming up is fallout from Buffy and Spike. Things will continue to go as they have, but there will be some continuing problems them. Xander and Anya 's wedding is coming up and Willow and Tara are going to try to work things out. You hav'nt seen the last of Tara. Things with the trioka are going to come to a head".

This is in the April 2002 issue of Sci-Fi magazine. So there ya go.

[xita]

ok yeah that's different so w/t are going to try to work things out! They have my blessing! Work it girls! PLEASE!

PS~ THANKS NOUVELLE!

Am I being stupidly optimistic when I say that this idea of Willow and Tara working things out fits in with my expectation of the show?

I'm kind of in denial about their split, I think. You see, I just can't picture them functioning properly without one another. When you break up a relationship like theirs, where they truly love one another, they seem displaced...oh pig. PIG!

I have to stop this bloody transference. Bah.

Thanks for that Nouvelly.
I am a bit amused by the fun season comment, maybe she means it is fun to make the show this season, but it is damned hard to watch at times (not saying it is never fun or that it is bad, I'm not trying to start another discussion about the merits of this season ).
More importantly, *again* she states we have not seen the last of Tara. I wonder what this could mean? I get the feeling she is subtly trying to tell us something, hmmmm...

[the literary exterminator]

The best part is that this is from the April issue, so you know Tara's going to be around at least until then.

You see, Sci-Fi magazine is SO sci-fi that the editors are actually able to time warp their magazines two months into the past so that they can carry not only the latest sci-fi news, but the latest sci-fi news of the future. That's why you get the April mag now, at the beginning of Feburary.

Time Warner has had this technology in a primitive form for years, warping Time Magazine back a week or more in order to be able to cover the latest news without having to worry about production and shipping delays.

Experts are still uncertain as to the method used by auto manufacturers to release automobile models up to a year in advance.

[ShaggyKat]

A little transferrence won't kill you tommo (ruth right?)

And I think they will try to work things out too. There is the whole six months theory I was told when my heart was broken. If you both can't move on in six months then you both better fix things.

[Willowlicious]

I, too, have had an "expectation" that W/T will get back together. When other couples have split in the past, I had no such expectation. And it's not just because I'm a W/T shipper and I wasn't a shipper of any of the other BtVS relationships. When Angel, Oz and Riley left, it was pretty clear that the relationships could not work out for various reasons. Plus the actors had other commitments.

With Willow and Tara, the writers have made it very clear that they still love each other, plus Amber has not left the show (and I just don't believe she will). This season is supposed to be about growing up. Working through a tough patch in a relationship, learning to forgive and accept forgiveness, and coming to a new understanding is much more adult than just giving up and moving on. BtVS hasn't done a true reconciliation storyline. B/A briefly got back together, but the relationship was less than it was before. I think W/T have every possibility of being much stronger than before. There is so much to explore in their relationship. If I was a BtVS writer, I wouldn't want to pass that opportunity by. I just hope that they keep them together after they reconcile. It won't be easy, but real relationships aren't easy.

EDITED TO ADD a word about Amber's future: I'm not trying to break any rules about "that which should not be mentioned," but I'm not sure where else I could post this without spoiling people. If Amber was going to be written out of the show (I think she would know by now!), would she be terribly eager to invest her time writing a couple more W/T comics? Not that she'd be bitter or anything. It's just, wouldn't she be scurrying around finding more acting roles and starting to move on instead of becoming more and more involved in the wacky Buffyverse? It just doesn't seem like it would be terribly productive to sit around writing comics about your "former" character. It just seems like something you would do if you were comfortable and happy and secure. To me, the article posted this weekend about Amber writing more comics is yet another sign that she's not going anywhere. Maybe it's just me.

Just kinda weird calling you ruth when I don't really know you. And your tagname is tommo. by the way why tommo? But everyone seems to refer to you as ruth. In fact you seem to be the infamous Ruth. hmm how did that one go i heard, oh yeah, the kitty smutqueen. lol

ps where do you stories get archived? cause I have only read the in DP now.

[tommo]

Shaggykat, I emailed you to save a lot of hooing and haahing on the board. Did I spell that right? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

This is EXCELLENT news! Even though we all knew they'd know that Willow & Tara'd work it out its nice to hear that!I'm still going to keep my fingers crosssed tho just in case!

------------------
Willow ;I had too much nog.

Tara ;Oh, baby, want me to rub your tummy?She likes it when i......stop explaining things.

[Wiccagrrl]

Well, I'm all with the Woo and the Hoo! I just love hearing all this positive W/T stuff. Let the rumor mill spread all the doom and gloom they want. The people that matter are saying some very good things for our girls.

Tracy

Hear that Baby? You're my always.

[Kendahl897]

Just curious. Do you think that Willow fully understands that once she is given a second chance with Tara, that she had better not blow it? I mean, do you think she realizes that she has to earn Tara's trust, and that means no magic?

[BBOvenGuy]

Excuse me, but can we get some clarification on when we can and can't talk about the thing we can't talk about? Because I would have thought something new from Wanda was eligible to be posted and commented on.

I'm confused now.

[Kilopto]

Who and the what and the where now, BBOvenGuy?

I am confuzzled by what you just said

[xita]

Bob we can speculate what she is talking about but there is no reason to defend what someone on another board thinks is the answer to her riddle. There is 0 evidence that she is talking about Tara. Wanda said about the scoobie death:

4th time's the charm.

I think Dawn may have drank from 4 cups. It's so dumb to speculate about this, especially because we were down a road of debunking someone's opinion about the spoiler. Tara almost dying 3 times they say, we all know that's not true. How many times has her life been in peril, Hush, NMR, Superstar, Tough Love, Bargaining. Is there a point to discussing this?
It's so beyond silly Bob and there is no new information. If you read the first post in the thread, we had decided not to discuss Tara dies spoilers that weren't new, legitimage spoilers. I didn't feel like this was.

If you want to discuss that spoiler be my guest, but don't bring in the assumption from another board that Wanda thinks it's Tara.

[This message has been edited by xita (edited February 04, 2002).]

[BBOvenGuy]

Okay, I've got it now. I was merely responding to what was there. I do that sometimes.

Someone asked Wanda about who the Big Scooby Death would be, and her reply was "Fourth time's the charm."

Which, as Xita said (and I said too, but it got deleted), could mean absolutely anything.

My guess, though, is that whatever it means, the meaning will be obvious in retrospect. In other words, you don't have to do any arcane feats like counting up the numbers on the shirts in "Bargaining" and then dividing by Joss's birthday.

Thank u Bob...i had just posted the thing from Wanda and i saw that it was deleted...i didnt mean to start a controversy...i wasnt aware that we werent allowed to post that...i wasnt saying that the person at the Cross and Stake was right...i was simply asking what everyone here thought...i like tara as much as anyone here and i am simply concerned about her place in the show...i dont want to start a "Tara dies" rumor....all i'm saying is that we do not know either way

[Kendahl897]

Plot wise, it makes no sense. There would be nothing to keep Willow from spiralling down and then she'd have to spend next season alone, or having TPTB try to find someone out there with whom she has half the chemistry she does with Tara. I think they have big things in store for Tara, but I don't think death is one of them. Besides, that description pretty much applies to anyone on the show....Pleae no more negative thoughts folks, Joss has already said that he has no plans to send Tara/ Amber anywhere....

I understand what your saying...i also think that the character or Tara has too much potential to go anywhere and willow would be completely lost if anything happened to Tara....but I also dont expect Joss to come out and say "oh by the way, this season i'm going to kill Tara off"....again i did not mean to start any type of argument....and i dont take what Wanda says half seriously most of the time

quote:

[BBOvenGuy]

Just for the record, I did not think for one second that Wanda was referring to Tara.

[yaya]

Bob i agree with u....i dont think Wanda even knows who its gonna be...i was just trying to give all of the info that i know

[Wiccagrrl]

Sheesh. Vague much, Wanda? Honestly, it really could be stretched to apply to anyone. I think the assumptions people will jump to based on this say far more about their preferences/biases than what it actually means. Oh, btw, any idea how long till we might start getting some spoilers for ep 17?

------------------
Tracy

Hear that Baby? You're my always.

[Kendahl897]

AMEN.....I believe they started filming it this week ,so hopefully soon. I just hope the rumor that Willow and Tara get back together by the end of this episode is true....with snugglies.

[Dr.G]

Oh yeah Wanda, I can just picture her sitting there with her crystal ball.

"Wanda do you know what will happen to me?"

"You will meet a stranger, somewhere in the future, who will affect your life"

Now unless I get hit by a truck the next day, those odds are rather good, and if I do get hit by a truck tomorrow, I can't complain about her being wrong anyway, or should I be lucky enough to survive said truck, Wanda can always claim she was right, because she did say I would meet a stranger who would affect my life, unless I know the truckdriver, then it would not be a stranger, but I am sure one of the doctors or nurses helping me heal would be, so she was right after all.

This is my very longwinded way of saying I think she is full of it, whatever it is.

And I too am ready for ep 17 spoilers. Move along people, nothing to see here...

[Epicurus]

MY GOD! I've figured it out!
Herc and Wanda are the same person! Think about it...
look at me I know who the BSD is but I ain't tellin', Oz returns... oops retract! both post similar vague/general spoilers.
Lest we forget the sound of certain puckered lips smacking certain nether regions.

It all makes sense now. For a minute there I thought the world had opened up and swallowed me whole.

[Coma]

Just for fact checking-sake here is the proper Wanda post... From leigharliss: Buffy spoilers, please! (Preferably ones that will make us shippers happy!!
How about a hint on the big death? Fourth one's a charm.
