Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Up with the sun

Sunnydale would have spontaneously collapsed from the complete undermining of what Tara's death meant in the first place.

Yes, this. It would have been a cheat, and evil and Bad. It would mean that, for all the talk about "anyone can die on this show," the only major deaths where the person stayed dead were Ms. Calendar and Joyce -- and neither of those characters were as important to the show as Tara at the time of their deaths.

I think Joss was just blowing smoke.

(Unless the idea was that Willow would think Tara had been reincarnated, and would be all happy and bliss bliss bliss, and then at minute 42 it would turn out "Tara" was the First. THAT would be kinda awesome.)

It's not so much the return of Tara that would have made me happy, but the lack of Kennedy. Or the full-on humiliating slap down of Kennedy that would have accompanied the return of a triumphant Tara. (OK - unlikely, but a girl can dream.)

Oh, I know. Kennedy sucked. And not in the good way.

But they really established Tara's death as permanent. Bringing her back would have been one of those "nice to wish for, but having that wish granted would have sucked beyond the telling of it" things, I guess.

Maybe he didn't mean that they would bring her back alive, maybe as a spirit guide or something.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Actually, what makes me angry is why AB turned it down.

Everything I've read said she loved the character and the show, so the question becomes why didn't she come back? Other than some webshow for BBC I can't what else she did this last year.

The Frickin' Kittens. They were so happy she was leaving the 'evil' show and getting far away from the 'Bad' Joss. Several members followed her around her LA appearances. She may have decided going back to the show wasn't worth the crap.

And that would make me angry. That fans got so obsessed that they changed the show because of anger and fear to the detriment of others.

I have nothing but bad, bad words to say about the Kittens.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It really had nothing to do with Kittens, at all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(I still think it's all bullshit, and there was never a Tara in S7 for AB to turn down.)

I don't know if this was to me or CaBil, but my bad words for the Kittens have nothing to do with CaBil's post. I just don't like them.

(I still think it's all bullshit, and there was never a Tara in S7 for AB to turn down.)

I agree with Jess.

Jessica, if a talking cantaloupe had been planned as the Big Bad, but the cantaloupe's negotiations fell apart, I'd believe it. If they told me that the reason that Giles couldn't touch stuff was because the snowcone conjugated a bean dip, I'd have to buy it. Why? Because the season was tossed together with all the cohesion of baby snot.

See, it's because Buffy was ressurected that the Eye of Botox legume fish burlap sack. Look! Over there! 48 girls in stupid hats beating up ubervamps that could not be killed 16 eps ago!

Less actually. (Messy!Co-worker has baby with cold - that shit's purty sticky.)

And yet, I am still mad about not watching a re-run right now. Also mad at still being at work right now.
