[jeepy91@xxxxxxx]

Hey gang, Marti Noxon gave this interview that gave some sneak peeks into 
what they have planned for Season 7. Not alot of detail, but there was 
something that might catch your eye.

But of course spoiler space first :)

Overkilled on the spoiler space a bit, sorry :(

Anyway, here's the article:

When Buffy the Vampire Slayer starts its seventh (and most likely final 
season) in the fall, viewers can expect a very lighter season then the 
previous.

"We are pretty much going back to basics," Marti Noxon, executive producer 
reveals, "we are going to do some 'monster of the week' episodes again, along 
with some other cool stuff.

"Some things have to be resolved first before the new stories begin. Willow 
will find it very difficult to make amends for her evil actions, and she will 
also struggle to let go of her addiction. "She also must learn to live 
without Tara. But she will have a new love interest coming on later, and 
you'll never believe who it is!" Noxon previews. 

As for Spike, don't expect a redo of "a vampire with a soul". "What we are 
doing with Spike is so different and rather extraordinary," Noxon says, "Joss 
would never want us to do the same thing over. There are some huge surprises 
with Spike coming up."

Anya will also undergo a lot of problems now that she is a vengeance demon 
again. "Anya and Xander have a tough road ahead, and it will all get resolved 
by the middle of the season," Noxon says, "Ultimately, Anya has a lot of 
tough choices to make."

As for the slayer herself, a reinvorgated Buffy has a new lease on life, and 
will spend a lot of time with Dawn. "Dawn will become a real three 
dimensional character," Noxon says, "Buffy will 'show her the world', as she 
stated in our finale."The season will also continue Buffy's journey into 
learning what a slayer really is. "We played around with that in season five, 
now the rest of that will unfold. We are going to fully explore both Buffy 
and Dawn's origins, and all I can say is by the end of the show Buffy will be 
a true vampire slayer," Noxon says. 

Now I've had at least three people, including my own mother who can't 
understand my shippage, tell me that they think it's pointing to a 
Buffy/Willow midseason hook up. And possibly the defnitive end to Spuffy. I 
honestly don't know what to think.

after a shift at the Doublemeat."
Willow:"Plus, I'd visit you at work every single day."
