Good lord, I am going to be disgustingly unprepared for this. How? How<\/em>?<\/p>\n

First, though, let’s deal with my predictions for season five:<\/p>\n

1) Tara and Willow will kiss onscreen. FUCK YES. 1\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

2) Xander will tell Anya that he loves her. IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. 2\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) Oz will\u00c2\u00a0not<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0appear once. WHY DID I PREDICT THIS 3\/3<\/strong><\/p>\n

4) Giles will get a job at UC Sunnydale. what 3\/4<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) Willow will become good friends with someone at school. what the fuck<\/em>\u00c2\u00a03\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n

6) Willow will also become far more involved with slaying as she gets better at magic. Bonus points if Tara also plays a huge part. A;LDKJF;AKLSJD OH MY GOD. Bonus points count because of what Glory did to Tara. 5\/6<\/strong><\/p>\n

7) At some point, Riley and Buffy will break up. FINALLY. AND GOOD RIDDANCE. 6\/7<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 ) We will see\u00c2\u00a0both<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0of Xander\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s parents at the same time. This isn’t going to ever happen, is it? 6\/8<\/strong><\/p>\n

9) Joyce Summers will start dating someone, and it will last the whole season. JUST PUSH ME OFF A CLIFF :: begins sobbing violently :: 6\/9<\/strong><\/p>\n

10) Cordelia will crossover and appear on\u00c2\u00a0Buffy<\/em>. I still want this to happen. 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

11) We will hear Faith\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s name once, but we won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see her. Bah. Bring back Faith. I love her. 6\/11<\/strong><\/p>\n

12) Spike will get the chip out of his head by the end of season five. Nope. 6\/12<\/strong><\/p>\n

13) Spike will kill a demon for the Scoobies in season five. YES. I GOT ONE RIGHT. 7\/13<\/strong><\/p>\n

14) Time travel? Please? Sorry, I just like time travel more than most things. 7\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n

15) Xander will also slay more demons\/vampires than usual. Did he? Well, he cast a wrecking ball into Glory, so I’m counting this. 8\/15<\/strong><\/p>\n

16) A large focus of season five will be on the conjuring of The First Slayer. what. 8\/16<\/strong><\/p>\n

17) And my big guess for the huge development in this season is that both Giles and Buffy will rejoin the Watchers Council at some point. Hahahahahaah oh god this is<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0kind of right? I mean, the Watchers Council did<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0just outright disappear after “Checkpoint,” didn’t they? 9\/17.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, that wasn’t terrible<\/em>. Better than usual! But that shall soon go the way of the buffalo. Oh god<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mark’s Predictions for Season Six of Buffy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Okay, let’s just go with the necessary first: the show will have<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0to find a way to bring Buffy <\/em>back from the dead.<\/li>\n
I also think Buffy herself won’t appear in the premiere episode? Maybe?<\/li>\n
God, what if this is just an entire season without Buffy? Okay, it won’t be, but it’s just a thought. THIS ISN’T A PREDICTION.<\/li>\n
I say that Willow will be the main person responsible for getting Buffy back.<\/li>\n
On that note, Willow will be in charge in Buffy’s absence.<\/li>\n
There will be an episode devoted to Xander and Anya’s glorious wedding!<\/li>\n
Giles will take a more direct role in the Summers family over the course of season six.<\/li>\n
I don’t know that I like<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0it, but Spike and Buffy will at least go on a date once<\/em>.<\/li>\n
Dawn will start learning magic from Willow. (I mean… what else can she do<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0now that she survived? God, I hope no one else tries to use her as the Key again.)<\/li>\n
Buffy will not go back to college.<\/li>\n
I’m seriously drawing a blank here.<\/li>\n
That’s mostly because HOW THE FUCK CAN THIS SHOW GO ON. BUFFY DIED<\/em>. WHAT THE FUCK.<\/li>\n
Okay, one episode about time travel. That’ll happen, right?<\/li>\n
Also, I want Cordelia to crossover and appear on Buffy<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0again.<\/li>\n
God, this is horrible.<\/li>\n
Here’s my big prediction: we will see the new Slayer who was called upon Buffy’s death before the halfway point of season six.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here’s to public failure!!!<\/p>\n
(We are not starting season 3 of Angel<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0tomorrow. Check the Master Schedule<\/a>. I have a surprise for y’all.)<\/strong><\/p>\n
