Okay, I was right - I'm still ready to kill the writers. Yes, I'm
glad that Willow and Tara got back together and I was more than happy
to see make-up sex happening.

Besides the entire episode, several things bugged me logically.

Why didn't anyone go with Buffy as backup when she went to face the
evil trio and stop the armored car heist? That does not make sense
at all, thank you! Xander had his nose flattened, she had been
attacked by buzz saws and they let her go off alone. Not very Scooby
like.

Can someone stake Spike now? His obsession finally went far enough
to break whatever attraction Buffy had to him with that attempted
rape - thank you! I like Spike, I really do - I hate what they've
done with him over the last few episodes. We've done the tormenting
vampire already - just call it what it is, lust and conquest and drop
the Love word.

Why isn't Buffy talking to Willow at all this season? They live
together but barely talk. They don't spend much time together and
Buffy's never talked to Willow about the Heaven thing, Willow's
collapse or Spike. Whenever Buffy got into trouble, she turned to
Wills, now they're barely working together roommates.

Major major complaint here! - The gunshot that took Tara out! The
path of the bullet is all wrong! Willow and Tara were upstairs -
Warren downstairs and outside. Unless the stray bullet went through
the window and up an uncomfortable part of her anatomy to come out
the chest - the bullet couldn't have hit Tara. They needed to be
downstairs for a drive-by hit.

Overall complaint: I thought we got past the point where any gay
character had to turn evil, kill themselves, die, turn straight, or
end up single and alone!

This whole Tara leaving, coming back and dying is a lame attempt to
get Willow to go over the edge. I admit I'm interested in an evil
Willow and how Buffy will handle that, or should I say - how the
writers will handle their interaction. Maybe we'll see some real
emotions between friends? I am not a happy camper with the contrived
story plot though.

If they kill Wills off I'm going to track the writers down and hurt
them.

Done ranting for now
