Spoiler Slayer

Saw the episode, but I'm not going to update until tomorrow. I did start scratching my head halfway through the episode, because I started remember spoilers where Spike got burned and Anya stayed behind in the Magic Box with him. A quick check turned up these spoilers, which I never did find an official source. The interesting portion is...

6.08. “Tabula Rasa”

Willow is now determined to make Buffy forget about being in heaven. It accidentally makes the scoobies forget… well everything. Including that there’s demon in the world and who they are. After waking up in the magic box Buffy, Willow, Xander, Anya, Tara and Giles find out about their identity from their ID-cards. Dawn and Spike, however, doesn’t have ID-Cards. The group decides to stick together and they leave the magic box. Spike gets burned by the sunlight and he stays in the magic box. Anya volunteers to stay with him. She finds him very attractive. Xander finds himself attractive to Willow, later though he is quite taken with Anya. Willow finds herself attracted to Buffy. Giles wonders what on earth he’s doing with people so much younger than he. He figures he must be someones father. At the end Tara breaks up with Willow and Giles leaves. Tara does not go with him.

6.09. “Killing Chronos”

Willow de-rats Amy and at first Amy is mad at Willow for not de-ratting her earlier. Willow calms her down. Buffy, Xander and Giles welcomes Amy back. Later Willow and Amy hangs out at the bronze and play with magics. Tara sees Willow with Amy, and since she doesn’t know who it is she thinks that Willow has already moved on to another girl.

6.10. “Venoms”

Willow gets a visit from two warlocks and a witch.

One can clearly see where mistakes were made (similar ones were in the Musical summary that went with this post). But that isn't the thing that bugs me about these spoilers. What bothers me is that although things are wrong, the tidbit on episode 10 is correct (and something that wasn't backed up until a few days ago). The spoilers that were right (or off) could have been taken from other internet sources, but that bit had to come from a quality source. If they were in the know that much, then why are the other bits off. It could be that someone got casting sides for the Warlock characters, but it should have been confirmed by another source like BAPS or FanForum (who usually get this stuff ahead of time). But if you got it another way, wouldn't you have the correct episode titles? Just seems a bit odd.

Anyway, there's a lot to consider before I rerank the spoilers tomorrow morning (which is why I'm going to sleep on it). However, I think that we're going to hit a break for real spoilers soon. We might get info for Eleven, but I think anything after that will be up in the air until after the holidays. I'm also going to nix a bunch of the general spoilers that were ranked 'Highly Unlikely' and add a few new ones.

On a side note: I've noticed something interesting, although it should have cropped up on Buffy last week and I didn't notice it. If you watched Angel last night, there was a scene where Holtz was being taken to get his men, and there were a number of American flags posted on the garage doors and walls of the street. Tonight, when I watched Crossing Jordan (Tivo'ed), I noticed that in the scene where they are analyzing the phone message, the laptop had an American flag sticker on the front. I didn't catch anything in Buffy, but I was wondering if people noticed it in that show or others.
