With the XXX? I think that means 30. He mentions that it's Roman. The other stuff is interesting tho.

Yeah.. but I meant that Buffy mentioned Vin Diseal... I have no idea what it really means or why it's set up the way it is... and why Ethan was so confused about where he was right then. He seems to really switch.

And this is in Buffy's dreamscape so it seems to be something she's dreamt about - either previously or slayer prophetically.

Ok, I thought the XXX was a reference to the movie he did which was called XXX or Triple X in the movie. I could be wrong there, since I haven't read the comic. The only chance I have at getting any is because of Supreme Commander's contest. Which I'm willing to do any~thing to win just to get my hands on it. I like Angel more, but I love Weadon's writing and that trumps my distaste for the character Buffy. Plus Xander with the eye-patch of kung fu is my favorite part about the ending of the Buffy series. The Pirate Scubby's look is the best thing Weadon did for the look of the character.

I read somewhere else that Vin Diesel's character in xXx is named Xander Cage. I checked IMdB and it's true. So I'm thinking the cage made out of 3 xs is a "Xander" cage in buffy's subconscious possibly related to the earlier dream where she kisses Xander and his head falls off.

Perhaps Buffy is conflicted in her feelings for Xander. Part of her has probably held him as a back up plan, knowing he has had feelings for her and loving him, though perhaps not being in love with him. And it's been a "slow year" for both of them, so thoughts have to have crossed both their minds. But the whole head falling off could mean that she fears hurting him if they did get romantic. So she's trapped in this cage of inaction.... or whatever.

Then again, I could be thinking waaaay too much here.

That actually makes a lot of sense -- more than any other link of theories I've heard so far.

Am I the only one who thinks it was definitely *not* Xander who kissed Buffy? Too obvious. In fact, just for fun I'm leaning toward Willow ... you know how much Joss likes to turn things on their head.
