Buffy, Season 8: The Twilight mystery

Twilight.

No, not the vampire movie. This is a Twilight Movie free zone.

I mean, the newest Big Bad in Season 8. The guy behind General Voll, Amy/Warren coupling [say it with me...Eww!] and all the anti-Slayer Cabal. The guy whose got Riley twisted into his little schemes. Many people have asked: Who is that big bad behind the mask? I've seen some pretty funny explanations for his real identity.

1. Riley.
Unless Riley acquired some self-duplication, thats not him. Theres a panel that shows him talking TO Twilight!

2. Xander.
Plausible, but I doubt it. It would match the rambly speech he showed but all the explanations don't gel.

3. Ethan Rayne.
The guy's dead. Can't be him.

4. Giles.
Now that would be wickedly Joss. And it would fulfill Tony Head's wish to be the Big Bad, as he stated in Season 7 interviews. Note that Giles is never seen in the same location as when Twilight appears, he's not on panel and the two could feasibly be the same. But unless Joss is doing a mislead, the rambly speech is not Giles.

5. Andrew.
No. Moving on.

6. Jonathon back from the dead.
That would be sad. Plus, Twilight is taller than Jonathan ever was in life. I doubt it.

7. Others/Minor characters
hmmmmm.

Opinion: I doubt we'll find out more until a few issues in. Keep thinbking and plotting!
