[edit] Anya's Death

There's this persistent bit of trivia about how Anya was originally intended to die in this episode, but she moved in the shot, so Joss was forced to keep her alive. It stems from this comment at Nocturnal N3K:

"Y'know, she was supposed to die and I wasn't really paying attention to

the footage and he was supposed to be carrying her dead body and she kept

looking up, so she outsmarted me this time!"

Which seems like an obvious joke to me. The shooting script says:

"Xander carrying Anya, who looks out of danger, but clearly as stricken as the rest."

Unless he says somewhere else that it's not true, it has every reason to be on the list. Although it should be edited to show it may be a joke.--Jacobshaven3 07:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Buffy522.jpg

Image:Buffy522.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Dawn stops being the key

Dawns origin becomes important again when Willow becomes evil and needs fresh energy. She threatens to kill Dawn in order to make her "a small energy ball" again. I think this makes fairly clear that Dawn still is the key. Other opinions?GWater (talk) 19:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Our opinions are irrelevant. What reliable sources can we cite for any such analysis and deduction? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
