I really can't see them going there...we've already had a shocking
homo***ual pairing...I doubt they'd do another...especially so soon.

I really would like to see Buffy and Xander ultimately end up
together...I kind of doubt it will happen but, to me, he's the only
guy she could ever have any chance at a real future with...of course,
for it to have any chance of sticking, it would have to come right at
the end of the series...or rather, the next series (since we already
know there's a Season 9 in the offing).
