General Season 6 Spoilers - Part 6 - The Bermuda Triangle

[xita]

Interesting, so it looks like this is a one shot that was postponed, though I imagine that the arc relative stuff was changed.

Though I am glad that some people won't have the AU excuse to claim they were right with certain spoilers.

[The Partyman]

The mental hospital idea would certainly fit with the reliable spoilage.

Spoilage of an "altered reality" would definitely cover insanity.

I guess its easy to take "altered" and assume its an AU episode, but Tensai's latest fits for me.

Seems legit to me, too, but I would note that they list Anthony Stewart Head and Amber Benson as starring in ``As You Were''. Of course, tvguide.com does too, and the incorrect cast listing for one episode doesn't mean that the other info TVNow provides isn't correct.

Also, instead of the SMG page, you can look at Amber's page which is not cluttered with as many rerun listings.

Hmmm despite valiant attempts to get beyond the subject of those dresses, I'm heading straight on back.

Yes they are hideous. They look uncomfortable, difficult to walk in, too frilly and way too green.

I myself favour a Coco Channel style little black number with a low scoop front, and no back. Black slingbacks and a pearl choker to complete the ensamble, no frilly bits, no pin on wotsits. Simple but stylish. But I'm afraid my beard tends to spoil the effect tho

It just occurred to me after reading more carefully that the scene that Dark Sheep Mysterioso posted back on page 14 with the two talking outside the school takes place in ACT 1. Oooh AND the fact the DSM said that there are “EVEN better part/ parts of this ep”, that can only mean great things to come later in the episode BUT we begin the episode with Willow/Tara goodness. This could end up being one of the best episodes for collective W/T scenes yet.
Did anyone discuss when this epi might air?

[Robin]

Well, actually I don't like that part from JW's answer: "...much with the tears...".

[Dr.G]

I asked earlier when ep 18 would air, I still have no idea, and I really like to know. I will be a bit more of my usual mess until it airs.

[tommo]

I think everyone's speculating on April, Garfield. Which suits me. It's my birthday in April and I expect lots of vicarious smooching as a present.

And the comments on the dresses just cracked me up. I remember the bridesmaid dress I had to wear at my sister's wedding. Two words. NEVER. AGAIN.

------------------
Sweetie...I'm a fag.

[Dr.G]

April? Ack. I do not think I can last that long. But anyway, do not worry Ruth, come your birthday I will cyberslobber you like there is not tomorrow.

Or did you mean vicarious W/T smoochies?

Ah yes and did you notice this, "And on a personal note, you will very much like the way this episode ends "

And DSM knows what the kitties love, I am guessing we're going to have a very nice ending in this ep, unlike some of the speculation out there.

I can't wait till April! Though, I am looking forward to next ep, to hear Willow be all giddy about Tara.. sigh.

Garfield, with you slobbering over me, why on earth would I want W/T smoochies? Heh heh.

Look, all I'm sayin' is that seeing those two together has a strange effect on me. Lock up yer women.

I'm surprised they're having 2 eps in March since they never have before. Per buffweekends, they had 1 in March twice & none in March twice. Will they let the only ep for April get lost among the March & April repeats, or save it for the end of April so they can do 5 in a row w/ the May sweeps eps?

[xita]

They pushed Hell's Bells into March because of the olympics preempted Buffy last week. Usually there would have been 4 new eps in February.

Okay, can someone dig up the original spoilers for "Asylum?" Because I don't remember it sounding quite like this. I mean, yes it was about Buffy not being able to tell the difference between reality and illusion, but the circumstances surrounding it sound different. Or am I just misremembering?

If the plot really is close enough for people to claim that it's the same episode postponed, then we should probably brace ourselves for another round of death rumors. We've already seen Wendy trying to start it.

Its possible that this was never meant to be episode 8, but rather the memo herc got simply mentioned it as an upcoming idea..

------------------
Willow was actually there, in Tara's room, and Tara was so very happy. Her face was warm and she was too shy to tell the pretty redhead that she prayed to the goddess for her dear new friend to come to her. And magickally, wonderfully here she was.

Now, as Tara made a symbol on the floor with salt and black sand, Willow placed a single red rose in the center of the symbol. She looked shy and eager...rather the way Tara felt at this moment. "I am glad you wanted to get together." Willow said warmly. "I know it's late." I...Thanks," Tara managed without stammering. "I was happy you called." Actually, I was ecstatic. I hurried to place an apple for the goddess in the woods by the bike path.

Buffy 6.8 (Nov. 20)
When a demon invades Buffy, making it impossible for her to determine what is and isn’t real, she winds up in a mental hospital.

As far as resurecting the death spoilers, no one had better try...

The original plan for Asylum had buffy getting invaded by a demon, not being poisoned. It sounds just like an episode of charmed where The Source hijacked Piper's mind to make her think she was crazy and delusional and that she had just imagined being a witch and that she was in an asylum.

The title makes so much sense. In Buffy's delusions, she's not the slayer, she can be the Buffy she used to be, she's Normal Again.

Although I'm still waiting for independent confirmation (and I am curious about the airdate), I feel that this is reliable information. I also think that the plot has been changed a bit, perhaps with the Troika being the instigators rather than a demon. Also, since it's been pointed out that a very similar episode of Charmed aired around the time this episode should have aired, we might have the reason for it being shifted to later in the season.

Normally I would be suspicious of similar storylines in different episodes, but it seems to be turning into a trend. We've had the 'Invisible Girl' episode on both Smallville and Buffy, Glory Days is pulling some Buffy-like plots into the mix, the Insanity plot is certainly nothing new either.

If true, I doubt anyone could link it to the BSD rumor. There's just no way it could be linked into this false-universe.

What I was referring to is that we might see an attempt to say, "Well gee, they postponed the episode about Buffy going insane, so maybe they postponed the Big Scooby Death (tm) as well. Maybe it's still coming!" As I said, there's at least one person we all know and love already suggesting just that.

As for shows coming up with similar themes, did anybody else notice when Roswell and Charmed did homages to Bewitched in the same week?

Well at least one good thing could come out of a dress like that, after the wedding, rip off the frills at the bottom, (on Buffy's) take off the extra bit of frill on the sholders then place it in a sink and dye it black and it actually would be a decent going out dress. Useful for Buffy who is broke in case she needs a new dress for her wardrobe.

Besides even this dress is better than what they put her in for her coffin. At least this one wouldn't be going to the enternal rest with you.

[Kendahl897]

I just read on the spoiler slayer site that there's going to be a new episode on March 12th. If I'm not mistaken, this should be episode 17, where Willow's neck gets hurt........Don't know how accurate this is........

[Wiccagrrl]

Humm...actually hoping that's *not* the case. Cause, after the March 5th ep, there are only six more left this season, and it's pretty much assured that at least four of those will be in May. So, I'm hoping the three new eps we have for all of March and April will be spread out a bit.

[Dr.G]

Well I want to watch ep 18 as soon as possible, I think I can wait for a few months for the rest, just give me ep 18. Like *now*.

*whine* *whine*

Ah and Bob, we really are not surprised at that are we? Surely this means Oz will return for next year's Halloween ep and all the scoobies will die in the show's finale, just like Hamlet. Remember folks, you heard it here first.

Willow's neck gets hurt? Is this like a sprain or something, or is it more familiar neck rupture? Hmm. Anyone got any info on this?

I heard that Buffy goes a little mad (Crazy, mad...not angry mad)...and starts choking Willow. Slayer strength and all. Tara comes to her rescue and realizes how much she still loves Willow. Just what I heard.

Willowfan, where did you hear that?

[Mr_A24]

In regards to the dresses, did anyone notice the big green flowers. I just wonder if Xanders tuxedo is going to have a green buttoneer (sp?) to make him, as Oscar Wilde would say, "An ideal husband"?

[Tara Lover]

Referring to the 'Fourth one's a charm' scooby death rumour I have had some ideas:
-Dawn: Charm = key
-Anya: Wore a vengeance charm
-Buffy: Fourth death (remember she was made a vampire in a nightmare episode in series 1)
-This would be fourth scooby death other than Buffy after Jenny, Kendra and Joyce

I have no idea why, but when I read that I actually thought he meant, you know, happy tears. Like I said I have no idea why, I mean this is Joss we're talking about.

Maybe I've been poisoned and I'm starting to believe that all of the horrible things that have happened to the Scoobies in the past aren't real.

Bridesmaid dresses: ungodly ugly.
Me: extremely happy that Tara is a bridesmaid, if not MoH. Would gladly wear one myself in gratitude.

Maybe not gladly.

I'm just the messenger, don't shoot!

Wanda said this in her ongoing chat...

vze asks : Sounds like "4th one's the charm" means Tara is going to die. Amber (gem or "charm") Benson plays Tara, who has four letters in her name.

Wanda replies : Hmmm...... You're not far off.

It's open to delibarations, once again...

Won't they ever let go?
