The report is correct. As to the how? We have No. Fucking. Clue. It could be anything—I hate not knowing!

I google’d the actor’s name and he’s still alive with no current projects showing. It would be kinda creepy for Buffy if The First used him to manifest. I’m still curious why The First has not used Buffy’s image to mind-fuck the Scoobies.

I’m going to repeat my prediction from another thread: the nature of the Slayer phenomenon will change, such that there will no longer be a single “Chosen” Slayer. Buffy and Faith, assuming they’re still alive at the end, will both still be Slayers, but so will all the Potential Slayers as well. There will be dozens or scores of Slayers.

I base this on nothing outside my own thoughts. In other words, this isn’t a spoiler.

Hey, I’m watching _Pleasantville_ right now, and Jonathan’s in it! He’s a black and white guy, no lines so far, but a couple of close-ups. Neat!

Minor spoiler for the last episode, in fact the only spoiler I have. Not a spoiler about the plot or any character:

The final episode is called “Chosen.”

Pepper: Heh. See what you missed from not watching “Angel” the first few seasons.

I’ll give you 20 to 1 odds he comes back on “Angel” the same way Darla did.

Weird Al

Either he comes back the way Darla did, or he shanshus. Or he’s just in flashbacks. Or Joss pulls something out of his ass. I heard that James really played hardball during the negotiations and got a pretty decent sum out of the deal.
