Spoiler Slayer

I'm expecting a bit of server downtime at some point in the very near future, so short update today.

And, if you can't get to the site for a while, you'll know why.

New Drew Revue

Drew Goddard was at the Bronze yesterday and today, and the posts are up at the Bronze VIP Archives.

It's A Family Affair

You know, I think I'm beginning to repeat myself when it comes to topic titles...

BuffyNuts checked in at @ N-Zone Buffy Guide with a Shooting Location report (thanks to Tara Di and Fraz for the heads-up, and BuffyNuts for the legwork). Also, the direct link isn't working right now, but it will get to you the right area.

There was a night shoot at Rosedale Cemetery. It was huge; there were many trailers, vans, cars, and people.

I wasn't able to stay long, since the cemetery closed at dusk; all I saw was a rehearsal for a scene with Giles and Spike. There were other people there, too; I'm not sure who else was in this particular scene. Spike was wearing his usual black pants and short black jacket with a dark tee underneath; Giles was in jeans and a grey or black long-sleeved sweatshirt that had white writing on the front. Spike tackled Giles and brought him down to the ground; Giles' reaction and body language was something like, what do you think you're doing, indignant, and the two of them had a conversation. Spike mistook Giles for someone else, maybe? This implies that Giles isn't the First, at least, since Giles is definitely corporeal here.

Didn't get to see much more than that. I thought I saw Sarah and the actresses who play Molly and Kennedy, but I'm not certain. Spike's stunt double was also there; I heard him say that he would be shooting a Spike fight scene in an alley the next night. I also heard some of the crew members saying that the principal's father has some sort of back story with Spike.

It looks like they might have been combining scenes from several episodes in this one shoot. As for the comment about Wood's father, it does appear that it was something that was heard correctly. Does this mean there is more to the story than what we've been led to believe.

While I know that some are speculating on whether or not they've decided against having Wood being related to the Slayer Nikki, I think there's a more interesting option. The current spoilers point to Wood being raised by Nikki's Watcher, perhaps he was doing a bit more than just watching with his Slayer.

Now that would be an interesting twist.
