> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by leechbabe \* > \*\*I was re-watching season 2 the nightmares episode and Buffy mentioned her biggest nightmare is being buried alive - of course then she turned into a vamp and that was her biggest nightmare. … \*\* Minor nitpick, being buried alive was Buffy’s biggest fear, her being a vamp was _Giles’s_ biggest fear. There are numerous stories from the early seasons to revisit. Faith is still alive as is Mr. Trick and Dru. If they do “return to year one” as many have said, I will be very dissapointed, as I think the “_adulthood_ is scary” theme they’ve been expolring this past season is not without merit. ---

Minor nitpick of minor nitpick: Buffy’s fear was being buried alive. _Giles_’ fear was that buffy would be killed. Buffy’s _other_ fear was becoming a vampire. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Thea Logica \* > \*\ ***Stoid** > > **elfkin** - Ohhh, no, not the Buffybot!!! Besides, Spike has already had a sordid fling with the Buffybot- that’s why he had Warren build it, remember? (don’t say that, no programs, just be Buffy…) Besides, I think the demon gang (Hell’s Angels on Wheels?) pretty well demolished it. Drawn and quartered with motorcycles. Doubt if it’s fixable this time. \*\* No…the buffybot would find out that \*\* Buffy\*\* is better liked and has had a fling with Spike. I guess I could worded it better or something, but I thought it was clear enough. ---

I’m sorry. You all can make all the predictions you like (and it’s not like I’m being forced to read this thread or reply to it)… I couldn’t care less what they do with Season 7. They’ve killed off one of my favorite characters in one of the lamest ways possible (a _stray bullet?_ Gee, why not a sudden bout of cancer?) and distorted the other character almost beyond recognition by having her “go over the edge with grief”, making her an insane, sadistic murderer who doesn’t care that she’s hurting her friends. Yeah, I’m _so_ looking forward to next season. And to think, this used to be my favorite show… :rolleyes: ---

**CaptMurdock** : I completely sympathize with your point of view, though speaking for myself, I can’t quite bring myself to give up on the show…_yet_. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Devil’s Grandmother \* > **Faith is still alive as is Mr. Trick** No he’s not. Faith dusted him in “Consequences”. ---

Twisted the character beyond recognition? We know she was willing to mess with a god to restore her woman. We also had the build-up of her going a little bonkers from the power to begin with. Add to that achieving such a huge level of power, and I could see it. After all, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Still, Tara’s death should have at least been deliberate on the part of a cast member. Though I doubt that would actually make anyone happy. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Weird\_AL\_Einstein \* > \*\*Oh yes, I meant to directly address the OP. My one prediction for Season 7: We will see more of Jonathan. \*\* He (the actor) is currently in a Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolata comercial, at least in the Boston area. ---

Willow will undergo a trial by more powerful blessed-be’s–or those as powerful as her–and it certainly won’t be an ordinary one. One begets three–ouch. Spike comes back as William, still conflicted as ever. Buffy figured out that she was indeed a switched from a parallel world, as was teased from “Normal Again”. Xander gets off his duff, gets buff, gets his head filled with stuff, and everyone else will have enough. Dawn will become really bigger than Buffy. A little too big. All-around, of course. Anya tries, but can’t make it as a vengeance demon. Jonathan will be back, ironically to add to the coolness factor to the show. But not before tossing that trucker’s salad (I can’t believe Dawn said that.) That’s all I can think of.
