Buffy Season Seven: Where do we go from here? - Page 3

It's about Power.

And now, I think I have a very good idea about what the Big Bad is this season. All this talk about the Beginning, and the appearance of the Slayer as the final apparition in the monologue, makes one avenue very clear:

We've learned a little about the history of the Slayer, and we've gone all the way back to the First. However, we don't know how she was brought into being. She was such an elemental force, that it couldn't have happened by chance. Physics tells us that for each action there's an equal and opposite reaction. So if the Slayer was born, something had to be born at the exact same time to warrant her existence.

The Slayer always seems to be in the right place at the right time to prevent all the minor Apocalypses from occurring. That fits the patience and planning that our new Big Bad is exhibiting. What if the spirit of the Slayer is just as good of a planner? That's the only way we could explain the world not having ended centuries before now, and backs the original hypothesis.

It looks like the final showdown will be coming. What will it entail? Who will it affect? Will the events of this season echo over on Angel? And if this Big Bad is the end all and be all of Evil, could we rationalize a Season Eight?

One down, twenty-one to go.

I can't wait!
