Thanks for the review! I like the thinky thoughts.
I think it's very interesting that they are now making the vampires out to be people, because they are in a sense or they used to be people. Many were innocent victims who were killed and infected by a demon. Now Severin kills them by making them human again. Lots of questions are raised by this and I find it fascinating as well.
I don't think the burning is technology, I'm pretty sure it's an ability. But to me it looks like one that has a purpose that is currently unseen, not simply "make man capable to kill vampires". To me there is too many "why"s and "what for"s. And the fact that Severin self proclaim's himself as a slayer feels like a mislead. He gets his power and immediately thinks himself a slayer and goes out and kills vampires without questioning it? Seems off.
To me I've always seen vampires as evil and demons too, but now there are demons who aren't evil, just from another world trying to make a life (I'm thinking of Lorne). It reminds me of peaceful aliens. So I think it's OK to slay them if they are evil or trying to do evil, but those who just want a normal life and aren't hurting anyone, not OK to kill. I think the question would be "how do we tell?"
And the spuffy thing, I think because of the dynamic between Spike and Buffy scenario number 2 would be more like (to me) Buffy doing something that makes Spike not able to look at her. But I don't think that it will happen. I strongly believe it'll be probably something like number 3.
I don't think the gender of the dead bodies was significant now, just coincidence.

Agree - it's more likely.

So far, the guy is a typical Captain Hammer from "Dr. Horrible". :)

Buffy did a lot of bad things in season 8 - so, theoretically, season 9 will be (should be) about her rehabilitation. But - who knows? Maybe Joss thinks differently. :(

Maybe. Stormwreath almost convinced me that "she's the third one this month" means "the third mystery", not "the third girl".
Yeah, I think we'll be finding out more and more about Severin soon. And it may not all be good. We'll see. :)

I don't mean to sound so hard on Buffy. She did do a lot of bad things and maybe that's why I think she'll continue to do bad things. The TV Buffy and comic Buffy seem really different at times it's hard for me to forget which one I'm talking about. The fact that Buffy is loved is probably why she is going to be dragged through the mud again, but hopefully it'll lead somewhere positive. And I didn't mean she'll do something bad per say, but maybe do something that might be unforgivable/unforgettable to Spike.
There are so many possibilities right now and so much crazy that I'm getting a bit tired and frustrated. And I also know I have a lot of unpopular speculations running around in my head that even I don't like.
I read stormwreaths review and I agree about the gender thing, it sounds more like that than the other. But there definitely something more going on!

Joss doesn't like Captains Hammers :)

I think we all have. It's the nature of our ship. "I love you." - "No you don't".
I hope we'll always have fanfiction to make up for the canonical tortures :))
*hugs*
I go to bed - it's 5 a.m. in my time zone.

This is what the comics do to us!

I hope you slept well! I think we'll all have restless nights soon to come with what will be happening in season 9!
I'll be posting a major speculation up on my LJ soon, if you are bored and want a read something silly.
