“It’s not a new character, they wouldn’t have kept him hidden if it was.”

Agreed.

And Tucker… hehe, that’d be cool. Especially if him and Andrew met.

It’s not a new character, they wouldn’t have kept him hidden if it was. But it could be almost anyone we haven’t thought of even so.

Who knows. Maybe it’s Tucker. XD

I, too, considered both Caleb and Riley (although not Oz), but Caleb was, like you say, not exactly the technology type, and the last time we saw Riley, I thought we got rather good closure, what with him being happily married and killing demons and all. Just to mention one objection.

But yeah, “none of these” sounds like a reasonable alternative, too. I do, however, have my doubts about it being a new character, asI felt it was rather heavily foreshadowed to be an old acquaintance of the Scoobies. Of course, playing us like that wouldn’t have been complete out of character for Whedon…

There’s also Oz and Caleb - though again “weapon’s lab” raises weird questions - and Riley, who fits on the weapon’s lab-part but seems unlikely in most other aspects of this.

I’m currently leaning about 50% on it being none of these, 10% each on it being Adam or Oz and 30% on it being Warren. I’d probably suspect Caleb or Rack way more strongly if not for the weapon’s lab-comment.

So, who do you think Amy’s “boyfriend” is? Personally, I’m stuck at Warren, because of a remark from one of the scientists about Amy keeping him alive, him apparently hating Buffy, and Amy asking for a “weapons lab for her boyfriend”. Of course, this is just an initial theory, and even I see a lot of flaws in it, such as, well, Warren having been killed and incinerated a long time ago, and that this doesn’t go to well with Amy having “kept him alive”.

Other candidates at the moment are Adam (again, there’s a problem of him having been blown up several years ago), Rack (although I’m unsure what he’d use a weapons lab for), and Ethan (although it’d been a real downer if he was reduced to some kind of undead, at least if he’d lost his wits) — but these three are even longer shots than Warren…

Anyway, I just went through the Wikipedia list of Buffyverse villains and monsters, and I still think Warren fits best, or should I say least bad.

I can see how you misunderstood that, but the “#2″ part refered to me having used “oh, and” once before, in the preceeding paragraph. Thus that latter one was #2.

Floatin’ Shoe Guy? In #2? Where?!
