Some felt the list owners should lighten up, and sent a note to the entire list saying such. First off, this was off-topic and should have been sent only to the list owners. Second, they're the list owners, which means they have the right to enforce any rule that they feel benefits the list. And I happen to agree with them on a lot, if not all, of them. You see, with out the list owners, there would be any list. Maybe I'm being overly serious here. But, as anyone on BBETA knows, I take list rules very seriously. They are meant to benefit us, the list users. If you don't agree with the rules sent forth by the list owners, you should quietly bow out, and go find another list that fits your tastes better.

Actually, I was thinking that Buffy ought to start developing a phobia about school dances. There was the dance from the movie...then the dance from OOS, OOM, then the Spring Fling, the dance for the exchange students in IMG...all resulting in various forms of disaster for our slayer.

Here's what I'm thinkin'. It's going to be Jenny - it's the only plot line that I've explored, but it all makes sense, with the previous rumors we've heard about her being a gypsy queen, taking Angel's soul back, etc., etc. It just all falls into place. And anyways, I don't think Buffy has complete trust in Angel, still to this day. I mean, what he did to Dru was a little unsettling, I'm sure. (even tho she probably deserved getting thrown into insanity). Plus, Angel turning on the Slayer would be too predictable. And we all know Joss - he's sure as heck NOT predictable.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS Okay, back to where I left off. Angel is the one doing the turning. HE gets his soul back and turns on her. We do know Drusilla gets strong, probally to be see even in Bad Eggs. Spike, may still be in rehab. Anyone know how Buffy was thrown off the pier??? It looked like someone threw her, someone like Drusilla, they would have to be really strong since she did a complete flip before going over the railing. Then Angel saves her, and he tells her he loves her. I can't figure out how it all works out. I think that something comes to Angel in a dream and he wakes up, Somehow, they end up either at the bronze or at the Wherehouse...I couldn't tell. Then Angel is used as bait for something. However, we don't know if he had switched over or not. Wouldn't it be sad if Angel switches over before him and buffy, you know. She'll be tramatized forever. Also, I want to know how her friends are going to handle this...Hello, the previews all happened at night and covered like five minutes of the 2 hour-long shows. As you can see, I really like to analize the shows. I think it's fun. I just hope this whole sleeping thing doesn't ruin the show. I mean, this show is still fairly new and breaking into the world of TV, if they go and turn her into a sex-crazed teenager or something like that, the show will be history...and I really don't want that. Buffy has an immage to fill with younger kids and teens. I just hope that they keep it tasteful and not like what Dawson's Creek is going to be like. TV doesn't need another Valerie Malone (From 90210) Okay, that's all my analizing for now, keep posted to my web page for more! http://members.aol.com/aglx/main.html - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 1997 09:08:54 -0800 From: Aliesha Wallach Subject: Re: BUFFY: Did you see what I think I saw?

It was dark shadow, ("Dark Shadows" - get it?) his profile > sure looked like he was wearing his "game face". I seem to remember that he *was* in "grr" mode, not because I actually saw his face way back in all those dark, romantic shadows but because I noticed that his speech was kind of slurred and sibilant, which would mean that either he's been carrying a flask inside that cool black jacket of his or he's got the fangs in. I haven't rewatched it yet (Don't tell. I think that might be illegal for listmembers.) so I can't be sure, but I remember thinking so at the time. So, given that this seems to be the virginity-losing episode and a two-parter "someone she trusts will betray her" thing to boot, I'm seriously expecting the whole "Next week, on a very special Buffy..." thing on one of these previews. I know Joss has said that that wasn't going to happen, but didn't we all take that to mean that they weren't going to have a whole episode revolve around the virginity thing, and doesn't it look like that's what's going to happen? -Aliesha GASP! - Keeper of the Hot Plate, Keeper of Buffy's Bad Lemonade, Keeper of Willow's Robot Part Kleptomania, Keeper of Ethan stuff *place witty quote here* - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 1997 12:32:13 -0500 (EST) From: "F.Y.G."

The narrator said "Buffy and Angel's relationship changes forever". Well, unless you had your nose in the 'frig, it appears Buffy and Angel did the nasty. First, having sex before marriage is not the wisest thing in the world, but how many 16 year old girls are wise? Second, it could only be a dream. It's been done to death. Also, "someone she trusts will betray her". Let's play Randy and Dewey: Eliminate the obvious, Angel. Next Xander and Cordelia. They are pretty stupid in their own right, but TOGETHER? If one of them betrays Buffy, it might not be intentional. That leaves the Watcher, Giles. If Buffy is sleeping with the enemy, Giles must follow a higher calling to protect the world from vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. We have only to wait for three more excruciating slow weeks until Jan. 19. The truth is out there. - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 1997 14:24:44 -0500 (EST) From: "F.Y.G."

His secret weapon on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Mondays, 9 p.m./ET, the WB) is a pocketful of mothballs. The actor, who plays Buffy's Watcher, Rupert Giles, tells our Jeanne Wolf that the smell helped him get into character: "A while back I was doing a stage play. Somebody had given me this enormous bottle of aftershave, and I'm not a great aftershave user. But I thought it might be interesting for this character, and I splashed some on. And it was a very interesting experience because as I was looking in the mirror, the last thing I would put on was this smell, which was not my own. So I've started this regime of finding a smell for each new character I do." Fine. But mothballs? "It's just that I was thinking of Giles, and I thought immediately of musty old books. And the closest I could come was mothballs. But it did mean that a few people passed out when they were standing next to me, so I had to stop using them."
