Poll pants on

[beer_good_foamy]

OK, I'm bored, let's have a poll on Season 8. If nothing else, it should be useful to have as a reference point a few issues from now, see who was right and who was wrong. So no more waffling, throw your hats in the ring and pick a winner. Or loser. Spoilers include recent comments by Allie.



...and it just struck me that I forgot the option "there will be no major
character death" on #4. So just check "Other" or something.

:-) Love ya too. Though in fairness to Joss, he seems to have talked through the "let's forget what actually happened with Warren" approach with Jane Espenson, at least.

I think it will probably be Willow betraying Buffy or Buffy betraying Willow

Yeah, and I'm leaning towards Buffy being the betrayer. #10 goes out of its way to not say that she's the one who's been betrayed; we see Buffy crying, we're told there's been "betrayal", and we assume that she's the victim... it looks like a misdirect to me. Joss always liked ambiguous prophecies.

I picked Dawn for the chopping block because without turning her into Dawnzilla or a horse, she really doesn't have a purpose in the comics.

Plus that whole bit about Buffy "loving her to death" - sounds way too much like exactly like that line in Dr Horrible - "the only thing that's looming is me loving you to death." And we know what happened to Penny, right? And the comics have gone to some length to establish that this incarnation of Buffy doesn't really care much about Dawn, so...

Then again, maybe Giles will come back as a Hellgod or at least the Prime Minister.

What if the Doctor and Rose cameo in #6 was actually a plot point, and he comes back as that alien ASH played in "School Reunion"? I'd buy that.

Crossovers ftw! Mostly though I would love to see Buffy Vs Johnson. (My money would be on Johnson. Live ammunition and no moral scruples.)
