Spoiler Slayer

With still more than a month to go before the premiere, I'm really surprised at the amount info beginning to appear. I have a bad feeling that it's going to be really hard to sift the fact from the fiction. More call sheet tidbits were released over on the Kitten board, in this thread. It comes from Wendy, who I believe is the same person who handles the spoilers for the Bloody Awful Poets Society, so they should be relatively reliable. Although there is no dialogue, there are a few tidbits that fit with the spoiler that this episode's baddie will be some kind of ghost.

Plus, looks like we got some solid confirmation on the premiere. Entertainment Weekly (which will hopefully be waiting for me when I get home), has Buffy as it's cover story this week. The article confirms a number of spoilers, which I'm going to trust and therefore confirm most of the details surrounding Buffy's return as follows...

• Buffy-bot is acting as the Slayer


• Willow, Tara, Xander and Anya cast a spell at Buffy's grave


• Said spell invokes Osiris, Egyptian god of the dead


• Spell is interrupted by demon bikers

Although we still don't know what spell Willow is casting, it obviously is going to have something to do with Buffy's return. I'm also going to add a spoiler about Buffy's opening number of the musical ("Going Through The Motions") and a couple of others (which I won't confirm yet).
