Indeed. And speaking of Twilight, I've been sort of confuddled by the significant number of fans who believe that Twilight will be revealed to be either Angel/Angelus, Spike or Riley. Huh? None of those choices make any sense to me.
Judging by the latest clues dropped in this issue, I'm speculating that Twilight is a newly anointed avatar (if that's the right word) of the First Evil, like Caleb only now even more powerful, perhaps with the combined abilities of many of Buffy's previous enemies, such as Caleb, Adam, The Master and maybe even Glory.
The major clue from the earlier issues would appear to be the nightmare where Buffy meets this lion/dragon (?) creature that proclaims "The Queen is dead..." etc. This suggests to me that the creature represents Twilight, and that he or it is a chimera of some kind.
This would have an additional resonance in that Buffy used the mystical energy of the Scythe to make many Slayers from one; the First could counter by making one opponent from many-- all of whom have fought Buffy in the past.
We've seen very little of him so far, and already I'm finding him a fascinating character. Any additional thoughts from your brain re: Twilight?
