I still can't wrap my head around Buffy choosing to undo Tara's death rather than Joyce's. Glad that the issue never made it to screen.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Hey. New board.
Agreeing with Matt on the Joyce thing, but...
I think a much more likely wish Tara-related would be "I wish Tara was alive with no memory of where she's been since her death."
Doesn't make Tara have to sleep with a vampire to feel alive, (remember how happy Joan the Vampire Slayer was? The pain requires the memory) and also doesn't A.U.ify and open up that whole can of wyrms.
In a theoretical sense, the whole "Still removed her from heaven, where she totally deserved to be" thing still applies, but since Buffy had decided that she was actually glad she was alive again, despite the whole shitty-ass pain of season 6, she'd probably be willing to do it as long as Tara didn't have to suffer the same way she did.

So yet another brain wipe for poor Tara?

Hey. New board.
I'm not saying it's a very ethical idea, Cindy. Or even a good one. It just makes more sense as a wish.
Though, you know, brain wipe probably not so much. Since I'm assuming her brain got all buried and stuff. Heh.

If Joyce hadn't died, she'd have been around when Buffy died. To save her imaginary sister. I could see not wanting to put Joyce through that. Although I also have trouble believing anyone put that much thought into it.
Oh, oh! Or, if Joyce hadn't died, Riley wouldn't have gotten all put out over Buffy's refusal to share her feelings or whatever his problem was, and then they might not have broken up. So Buffy might have figured the trade-off was worth it.

If they produce a version for the U.S., it had damned well better have the 99 episode previously frames at the beginning of the The Gift.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't that an easter egg on the S7 release?

It would be nice to have it attached to the beginning of Episode 100, though. That's where it belongs.
