Spoiler Slayer

Herc from AICN dropped me a line about the Oz rumor. He wanted to insure that I realized that the Oz tidbit was merely his speculation, and not an actual spoiler (ie: based on sources, scripts, or other indications). As I stated yesterday, I think it's a safe bet that most of the guest stars that were absent last season will make a return at some point. Since it has come up on multiple boards, I feel that regardless of the intent, it should be mentioned on the Spoiler Slayer. However, I'm going to mark it as speculation and it won't count against the ranking.

Which is a good time to address what will happen once episodes start airing. The ranking will be a percentage, based on the whether or not the spoiler was correct. If a site modifies spoilers as time goes on (a good example is the progression of the Hank spoiler, which started off as him being in the premiere, then only phone contact, then maybe not even that), I will go with the latest spoiler posted (up until about a week before the episode actually airs). I'm not going to be overly critical of the accuracy, if you're in the ballpark (but off slightly), I'll still give you credit. For example, if the Willow/Tara fight occurs before or after Episode Six, I'm still going to give credit. This is because the writers have been known to shift storylines around. I'm mainly on the lookout for sites that are posting spoilers that are way off base, things like Riley returning or Buffy coming back as a vampire. Hopefully, everyone will be satisfied with the outcome.
