*SPOILERS* -- Amber, the credits, and next season

ENTROPY was just the first of the ALL NEW episodes that will close 
out this season. May sweeps have begun and there is really no 
telling where this road leads once we've rounded the corner. Denial 
or optimism?

Last chance to get gone?here goes

Tara IS going to die. (DUH!) Now who's "Seeing Red"? (Get it? 
Yeah, I'm being funny)

Lets' try something because?ALL is not lost.

=Amber in the opening credits=

Finally!!! The fabulous Amber Benson gets her name in the title 
credits!!
After Michelle Trachtenberg and before James Marsters!!
(Ain't It Cool News -- http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?=12137)

Opening Credits: For the first time, Amber Benson is mentioned in 
the credits, sandwiched in between Michelle Trachtenburg and James 
Marsters.

So?would they (Joss/PTB) really put in Amber's intro for only 4 
episodes?
((Cause unlike Xena it is not common in the Buffyverse that 
something MAJOR happen and it be DISASTEROUSLY resolved within one 
to two episodes. Cause come on, this season is almost like one huge 
arch))


=The Future - Season 7=

Sunday, April 28, 2002

?asked her (Amber) if that was it, if she was done with Buffy as an 
actress.

She said that it was really hard. She didn't know. It really all up 
to Joss. You never know on the show, people die, people come back?

- - - - - - -

?other reports, from fans talking to Amber's mother, which sound 
more upbeat (as in "You won't be missing her for long"). At this 
point, the only safe bet would be that at least through the end of 
this season, it's unlikely that the Tara issue will be completely 
resolved.

(Both from -- The Spoiler Slayer --

Would they really just kill off Tara and leave it like that?  
Especially if Tara's death is going to push Willow over the edge.  
Sure Willow's friends can help her come back, but how long and how 
many times will they be able too? Tara is Willow's rock. As many 
times before ('Restless' comes to mind) we know the season outcome, 
even though we not be aware of it, from the episodes that we've 
already seen.


=FACTS=

* Amber is in the opening credits starting this Tuesday with 'Seeing 
Red'.


((I lost the links but I'll find them and tell you where these came 
from))

* TWO characters are seriously injured. ONE character will die and 
be brought back?but not with magic. (Yeah, Buffy takes one to the 
chest but Willow puts her hand in to save the day and that's all 
magic.)

* Amber IS contracted through Season 7. She has as many episodes as 
she did this season if not more.


=Bringing back the dead=

Just because Tara isn't killed with magics, and Willow can't bring 
her back with magic, doesn't necessarily mean she's gone for good.

We all know that everything we're reading and seeing is starting to 
contradict itself.

If Amber's gone why put her in the credits? Why is she contracted 
until Season 7?

If the promo for next weeks says: 'You heard the rumors - You 
thought you knew - Everything you heard is wrong', why are we wrong?

Maybe we need to throw in another piece of info that might not even 
have anything at all to do with Tara.

"Sweet Harmony" - Interview with Mercedes McNab

BM: Can we expect to see you in Buffy or Angel this year?

MM: I'm coming back at the end of the current season of Buffy. I 
can't tell you anything about it yet though.

- - - - - - -

Short and sweet. Does it leave us with some possible answers? Or 
just more questions?

Cause really?wouldn't that be like a HUGE surprise if that were to 
happen?

Wouldn't a sexy, skanky, all gay Vamp Tara be better than a dead 
Tara?
((Hell, that in itself would sprout a new limb(s) -- Willow/Vamp 
Tara - Vamp Willow/Vamp Tara -- I'd be into that))


So that's my two cents to at least the Tara spoilage that's been 
going around the net. It would be an interesting point for Season 7.

Regardless of anything else though, wouldn't this be like a great 
hook line/outline for Season 7? {Secrets are revealed, friendships 
are mended, Willow tells Buffy that she loves her, Buffy feels the 
same, the original Scoobs back to fight the 'BIGGEST' Bad of them 
all (if this is the last season(7)). The lost prophecy, destiny 
laid out for more than just the 'Chosen One'.}

I know that I'd tune in, regardless of the episodes sucking too much 
(I've actually liked this entire season but I know it hasn't been 
the favorite of many). Again, these were just my wild thoughts 
thrown in with some new spoilers and spoilers that I've had for a 
while. Ain't your migraine glad I shared?
