My blindspot is conventional - Willow up to the whole friggin addiction anvil. Killing bambi, bringing back buffy from the dead without even friggin digging her out of her coffin first - if Willow does it is is just loveable bumbling. Also had a bit of a Fred shaped blind spot too.

I'm a Willow-hater. Does this make me a bad person?

I'm going to have to say you are a bad person. But I think you'll just revel in that.

I'm a Fred-hater. I don't judge.

I am Typo Boy. My Willow blind spot makes it up to the pre-addiction anvil only, however, when she first made Tara forget and it looked like that storyline still had the potential to be very good.

I would still forgive her for that, I think, just as I forgive Xander for telling Buffy to "Kick his ass." but it was a big adulation turning point for me. Tara deserved much better.

I have never been convinced that Tara would have agreed to bring back Buffy, especially after the Joyce debacle, without a little "push" from Willow.

I agree, connie. And, if I actually consider it long and hard, that's a big Willow turning point for me, too, along the same lines as the Tara-forgets plot point.

Of course, if she DIDN'T bring Buffy back, show gone. So sometimes I write it off as a necessary evil. Though that's probably underestimating our show.

She didn't really show any backbone with Willow until the memory violation was revealed to her. I think she definitely would've deferred to Willow as Head Witch, Buffy's best friend and experienced-with-this-shit Scoobie. On top of the fact that she was all googly eyed with love.

Just parroting my earlier comment that I think Tara's lines in "Bargaining" made it pretty clear that she had a good idea how dangerous and wrong their plans re; Buffy were, and chose to hop on the tombstone-rolling bandwagon anyway.

I don't credit Willow with the subtelty to tamper with her mind in such a way that Tara'd choose to do such a risky thing in violation of her ethics and still have strong vocal doubts about the rightness of it. She'd have been cheerleading the attempt as the equivalent of posting bail for a friend after a night in the drunk tank.

I think Willow tampered with Tara's mind and with all of their minds where the resurrection spell was concerned, but only in conventional ways. She manipulated and withheld information, and generally exploited their trust in her. I'm not sure if she outright lied about any of the details. I haven't watched S6, in a long time.
