If anyone's interested and wants to possibly ruin some of the surprises coming up in Buffy, then have fun reading these possible spoilers...


http://www.spoilerslayer.com/spoilers.php

1) The ShapeShifter seen with Spike is 'The First', which is the big bad.
-I think it's possible. Then again, I really have no clue. But it would explain some of the spirits...

2) Spike may be siring vampires to kill Buffy.

3) Spike may be working for the ShapeShifter.
-This one's kind of iffy.

4)The ShapeShifter pretends to be Buffy.
-Wouldn't that be interesting? Could this be how she could get killed?

5)Three slayers-in-training arrive in Sunnydale.
-Could this be where faith comes in?

6)Willow pairs up with one of the slayers-in-training.

Here's some more spoilers I found for the next episode...

From what can be gathered, the older SIT's (slayer-in-training) name is Kennedy. She's around 19 years old and will be coming with the first batch. She's definitely interested in Willow, and Willow could be a bit uncomfortable about this (it's just a general feel based on some dialogue that's been passed along). If it doesn't get cut, Willow will reveal the fate of Miss Kitty Fantastico to Kennedy. No big deal, she apparently ran away.

As mentioned before, one of the SIT's will probably not make it past this episode. She will fall prey to what would seem to be the UberVamp. However, I should point out that there could be more than one powerful vampire running around. Again, I'm getting information from various sources and it seems to be about the same character, but I can't be sure. Buffy tries to save her, and takes a heavy pounding from the vampire. Which makes some of the newer SIT's, who arrive in Episode 11, more than a bit nervous of their situation.

Speaking of Episode 11, 'Showtime', it would seem that there is quite a bit of SIT gathering going on. As the episode opens, Andrew is still tied to a chair in the Summer's house. Since he's up and about, one can only guess that the Scoobies need all the backup they can get. Spike is still MIA at this point. Either that, or they've been driven from the house.

The reason why I was on the fence a bit about Spike earlier this month, was because of some of this information. I actually heard the term Ubervamp a while back, and was concerned that this could possibly be referring to Spike. The last report I had of Spike was that he was involved in bringing into being the Ubervamp, but I can now see the origin of this spoiler. It would seem that at the beginning of Episode 10, the Scoobies are more than a bit worried about Spike. They need his muscle, but don't even know if he is alive at this point. However, I still don't have any information on Spike past 'Never Leave Me'.

I'm doing my best to keep count of all the SIT's that are in the mix, but it's not easy with the the various reports that I've had. Three arrive in Episode 10, one of them doesn't make it. At the beginning of 'Showtime', either Buffy has located others in Sunnydale or they have arrived on their own. My figures point to at least five in total by mid-episode 11, but one of them is not what she appears to be. I don't know if she's an incarnation of 'The First' or something else, I just know that she's not a true SIT. One bit of info I have may point to the Scoobies trying to locate a spell or magical item that will allow them to see things for what they really are (note: this is more speculation than spoiler). I would presume that at the end of the episode the truth will be revealed. Which means the writer's could be setting us up by making us think that someone is 'The First', but then having it turn out to be the SIT. That someone would be Giles.

I have information from two separate sources which could point to 'The First' masquerading as Giles. It's not as clear as, "The First is imitating Giles". What both sources have passed along, is that ASH filmed at least two scenes where he was instructed not to touch anyone or anything.
