Buffy creator Joss Whedon talks about next year. Yes, this includes spoilers....

Also, one of the more intelligent articles about Tara's death.

Humorous note on season six sponsors:

From Lawrence Block's website:

SUCH MEN ARE DANGEROUS. MacMillan, 1969. The first book under the Paul Kavanagh pen name. [...]

THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL. World, 1971. Paul Kavanagh was the purported author, but the protagonist is Miles Dorn, a Middle European agent provocateur who assassinates a string of political figures in aid of a conspiracy to subvert the American government. But he has his own agenda. A few years ago, an ex-CIA type spotted the book on a shelf in my apartment and commented on it. "My husband wrote it," she told him. "Yeah, right," he said, rolling his eyes. "Listen, we know all about that book. Author used to be with the Company." "But my husband---" "Hey," he said, backing away, "if that's what he told you, fine." The most recent edition is the Carroll & Graf paperback, no longer in print.
