Spoiler Slayer

The title for episode nine started floating around the boards this morning, 'Killing Chronos'. Which probably should be read as Killing Time. The question is how does it relate to the mental asylum, or has the episode now been moved elsewhere. It was the furthest out of all the episodes, even further once 'Life Serial' was added. The thing is that the title doesn't work nearly as well as the rumored 'Asylum' (which can also mean several things).

Also, I just wanted to touch briefly on the idea that Jenny wasn't technically a witch, but a techno-pagan. I think the thing that gets overlooked is both her background and the fact that she lied to the Scoobs from the beginning. She obviously would have been the one who was going to cast the spell, she was getting the ingredients, so at least at that time we should consider her to be a more powerful witch than either Willow or Giles. Maybe not as tough as Amy's mom, but I still don't think we should discount her. As for Amy's mom, she very well could be running around. My thought on that was that one of the geeks might have rummaging around in the old high school, and released her. She also has a great deal of experience with possessing people. Finally, there's always the off-chance that Amy pulled the same thing.

Which we should consider if Willow is the person who will die. Though you hate to say it, she could be replaced. By ramping up her powers, the writers have worked themselves into an interesting corner. The show isn't called 'Willow, The Witch Who Hangs With This Girl Who Kills Vampires'. The show is about Buffy, she is the main character. Plus, we've already been getting hints that once Sarah does leave, Dawn might easily step into that role (sometimes you have to look at demographics versus storyline). Then there is always the argument that there are too many characters, which has a lot of merit. Again, I'm not saying that the spoiler is true or false, just that we should consider all options.
