In the shooting script, when she powers up by sucking all the spells out of the magic books at the Magic Box, the stage direction (probably written by Whedon, these kind of directions usually are) says 'it's Dark Phoenix time'. In the next episode, when she's going after Warren's two companions, after flaying Warren alive, on camera, Andrew (who is referred to by everyone, both in fandom and on the show, as 'the other one', 'the other guy', 'the third guy', and so forth) actually calls her Dark Phoenix (he also later says 'Darth Rosenberg is after us, and none of you have the midichlorians to stop her') On alt.buffy-v-slayer, we've been calling the (obviously coming) Willow storyline 'the Dark Willow arc' since late season 3, and it's pretty much unavoidable that the final four-episode story of season 6 (Seeing Red, Villains, Two to Go, and Grave) are going to be called the Dark Willow story forevermore. If/when you do watch it, based on the end of Villains, Jason Wyngarde got off lightly. 'Bored Now' was a song within her. -- "Oh Buffy, you really do need to have every square inch of your ass kicked." --Willow Rosenberg
