Location Shoot

The following location shoot was posted to the Alt.BTVS Usenet Group (thanks to Carrigon for the tip). It would seem that there was a location shoot for an attack on the Summer's home. Candee posted a recap of what she saw.

I was roped into a taping of the James Van Praagh show with a friend, and she lives one street over from Buffy's house. Last night it had the wooden mailbox with Summers on it, and they were doing some last minute scenes for Episode 11 (Sound guy said they are on 7.12 at the mo, but these scenes needed to be reshot.)

We left at 9:30am, and the trucks, Star Wagons, Kraft table were being set up. When we got back at about 7pm, they were shooting in the back yard... so couldn't see much.. but a nieghbor teen said they all got letters saying to "watch out for vampires!" haha

We went to Deb's, got her cats fed, then walked over to the shoot, and Allison Hannigan is beautiful in person. She was walking with the actor who plays Andrew, back to the Star Wagons (dressing room trailers)

They moved the equipment to the front yard...There were 5 demons in robes, coming out of the shadows and trees, facing Buffy's house, then a vamp who looked like an arthritic Master came up the walk growling.... they did it many times, from different angles.

Folks who had been sitting on the curb when we got there said Nicholas Brendon and his bro had been there earlier, and it only went on until about 9:30... oh, and Michelle Trachtenberg (Sp?) was there, she is cute, too. I was hoping James would be there, but no, the neighbors said he wasn't, neither was SMG or ASH.... Oh, and her front window was boarded up, so there must have been mayhem at the homestead!

This could either be a precursor to the Location Shoot that we had a report about a while back, where Buffy and the others were on the streets of Sunnydale trying to avoid the Ubervamp (and Buffy ends up sending the others off while she stays to fight it).

New Info On 10-12

There was some additional information that came out about Episode's 10-12 last night at FanForum, but I was respecting the source's request not to post them elsewhere. However, the source has now allowed these spoilers to be posted on a public board, so they are now available at the Cross and Stake. Rather than bring over the entire post, I'm going to mention the highlights which haven't been mentioned in other spoilage reports. Hop over to the Cross and Stake for the entire message. Thanks to Laurie (who is a new source as far as I can tell) for the Spoiler Update.

Bring On The Night

- Buffy is concerned about Spike, about what The First could do with him (as well as the fact that they need his muscle)

- The Ubervamp is called a Turok-Han

Showtime

- Buffy and Xander go out to locate and bring in another SIT

- Willow is forced to use magic to protect the house

Potential

- Willow does a spell to locate a potential SIT

- We do not see Buffy and Spike react to Dawn's status in this episode

- Giles has gone to Shanghai to locate another SIT

- Buffy and Spike do some Harbinger bashing.

I can actually confirm much of this information. For example, Xander and Buffy do go in search of another SIT in 'Showtime', as well as Buffy's reasoning in 'Bring On The Night' to rescue Spike and the true name of the UberVamp.

Also, when Laurie mentions that both Buffy and Dawn run into a girl named Amanda I'm not sure who that is. The early information I had for 'Bring On The Night' had two slayers named Amanda and Cat, Amanda was originally slated to die at the hands of the Ubervamp, while Cat and Kennedy would continue to 'Showtime'.

But when 'Showtime' information started trickling in, it was Annabelle who had died and Molly was the SIT who was passing this info along to the new arrivals. So I don't know if this is info that's been changed in the scripts, or if they moved back Amanda's arrival. As I mentioned a while back, it's been really hard to keep track of all the SIT's. Laurie mentions that there are Five SIT's at the end of 'Potential', counting Dawn, I have 6 SIT's in Sunnydale at the end of 'Showtime', does this mean one doesn't make it? Then again, it could tie in with Wanda's info that one of those cast could not actually attend the filming. Which is why I hesitate to post names

I can also add a few details for 'Showtime', but I've been hoping another source would post first so I could get another confirm. When I mentioned a while back that there was some confusion over the Line of Succession for Slayers, it seems to be information being passed along by the False-SIT. Not only is she openly critical of Buffy's ability to protect them, but she also infers that when Buffy dies one of them will become the next Slayer (which according to the writers is not the case). When Buffy and Xander go out, they seem to be heading to a local motel. The gang is also searching for the Beljoxa's Eye (though whether that's the Oracle that Giles and Anya visits or what they need to defeat the Ubervamp, it's not entirely clear to me).

The Spoiler Slayer will be updated tomorrow.
