We try to figure out where she'll be. We actually knew what was going to happen at the end of this season in the middle of the third season. And we pretty much know everything that's going to happen in season six already. The creator of all things Buffy . Tell us everything.
Every season has an arc, a sort of unifying theme.
Last year it was the liberation of college and how it fractures you as a group and as a person. This year was about family and identity and Buffy being a slayer. It's about realizing that we're young adults, and now we're making choices like our parents did, and we're just as bad at it as they were. And we're going to have a big-ass apocalyptic battle, because that's what we do. And there's going to be some death.
