My thoughts by highlighting :)
WHO IS TWILIGHT???
Obviously: Male, Coccasion. Along with that, he has an itchy neck. In Season Five of Buffy, Riley was having vampires feed off of him. We even saw one drinking from his neck. It's possible he became addicted even more later on, possibly after a bad divorce or something (I even liked the theory that Sam is a slayer), and the vampires drinking off him caused his neck to be permanently itchy.
As for the apparent hatred toward females, this one comment made me look at the MOST UNLIKELY VILLAIN... Parker Abrams. I seriously doubt it's Parker, but it'd be interesting if it was, although maybe also a little stupid.
For anyone who says Angel or Spike... SHUT UP ALREADY! And, not to quote from Mr. Wood[censored!], I mean that in the most respectful way possible. We've heard over and over again that the two verses will NOT crossover and even Scott Allie told SlayAlive that there was no chance of it happening (see his answers to the ASK DARKHORSE).
If I had to come up with a list of all male possibilities, even ones I think incredibly super unlikely, it'd probably be this:
Riley
Parker
Hank Summers (so disturbingly unlikely)
Andrew (hey, maybe he's not just gay but also a secret woman hating butthole)
Pike (thanks to my pal Shiai for this one. It'd be most interesting)
The Cheese Man!
Why not Warren? Twilight wants to end all magic. Amy=witch. Amy=girlfriend. Warren wouldn't do that to her, and she wouldn't give him the power to do it. Plus, magic is why Warren is alive right now. However, magic skinned him alive.
The line
"I've seen that move slayer"
would seem to indicate two possibilities:
Angel or Caleb (since I think Angel was there at the moment she finished Caleb off).
I'm doubting the former if
x-overs are a no go (among many other reasons)
but I don't get it if it's the latter either.
I'm also curious if the
falling out between Giles and Buffy has to do with the jewel robbery.
They are giving really good Xander - to be honest, better than they did the last couple of seasons of Buffy.
I was waiting for the masked dude to say after
"one thing I've learned about this girl" and it sorta fits the theme of "everybody who loves me dies" was:
"to kill her you have to love her."
I know they said
no crossovers, but there's only one person that could be.
Still,
itchy neck. Maybe from wearing a priest's collar so much? All the other clues seem to smack of Caleb, but how is he back? Joss admitted he oopsed with Warren, so you think he wouldn't do it again.
Huh, why does Joss
think he oopsed with Warren? I didn't mind that at all.
People gigged him on his continuity. He said
he forgot he'd actually killed Warren, not just skinned him.
Oh see, I just thought
Amy had brought him back, not that he never died. Granted, why she'd bring him back skinless but not extra crispy instead of whole is a problem with that.
He said he forgot he'd actually killed Warren, not just skinned him.
Yeah, because
there are so many examples of people living through the shock of being flayed.
Rolls eyes at Joss.
I like the possibility of our baddie being
Riley.
I'm interested to hear what became of him. Right now I'm feeling that
wearing a mask for a prolonged length of time could certainly make your neck itchy.
We might be
assigning too much importance to a line that was meant to be quirky, not an actual clue.
So I'm going over everybody in my head and
trying to think of who we know who could attain that kind of power, and who would believe that the...
is there a term for the transformation of all the potentials into slayers?
Someone who believes that was a mistake, someone who would care about restoring the balance of the universe.
The other possibility is
that our bad guy is just in it for himself, and the stuff about the world being out of balance wasn't true at all, just meant to rattle Buffy.
