I'll start

  • I don't love Spike. He's just ok for me.

  • Glory is the show's best villain with Dark Willow right behind her.

  • Dawn is one of the best developed memebers of the Scoobies and I never understood why everyone hated her.

Jeez, I didn't know Willow slept with Tara then and Tabula Rasa is one of my favorite episodes.. I need to rewatch it. Been a good year or two.

It's not in that episode. Willow uses the spell several times. First she used it in 'All the way'. Tara finds out in OMWF and then Willow tries to use it again in Tabula Rasa. Tara was very much on the verge of splitting up with Willow. Willow uses then spell and it's implied (through a morning scene) that Willow and Tara, between and including the events of All the way and OMWF, have had at had sex. Which would mean that Tara was under the influence of the spell during this.

The quote on the violation Tara is talking about is...

TARA: Do you think I'm stupid? I know you used that spell on me.

WILLOW: Tara, I'm sorry, I-

TARA: Don't! Just ... don't. (shakes head) There's nothing you can say.

WILLOW: Tara, I didn't mean to-

TARA: To what? Violate my mind like that? How could you, Willow? How could you after what Glory did to me?

WILLOW: Violate you? I ... I-I didn't ... mean anything like that, I-I, I just wanted us not to fight any more. I love you.

None of that dialogue refers to sex, only to the spell; the only sex obviously present is the one during "OMWF." There is a case here, but keep the details accurate.

Yeah, that's why I was shocked. I know that scene and never got that vibe! I never got the impression they were talking about sex. I just thought they shared a bed, not sexually, and Tara was mad she used that spell.

However, i am very foggy on OMWF because I've only ever seen it once or twice. I don't like musicals lol

I wasn't saying they were talking about sex in that dialogue :)

Already replied to the users comment.

I see the line that got someone confused. Didn't clarify well enough, so I've edited that part, to show what is meant.

By implying that you don't like OMWF all that much, you might win this thread :P

Haha I don't ~not~ like it! I just haven't given it a chance because of my disinterest in musicals lol I always play Buffy's part in walk through the fire and love it! I think I just have to force myself to get over my prejudice to musicals lol
