<<One thing that frightens me about last night ep, however. I have a fear that they are making the Scooby gang closer because their going to rip them apart in the future. That seems to be M.E.'s past record anyway. I also feel like thats why they're making the Tara character have more depth. I'm just speculating as to what the finale will bring but I think the last shot composed of Willow, Xander, Dawn, Tara and Buffy is somewhat of a forshadowing. Something is going down with the core Scoobs>>
That's exactly what it is. They're making Tara a more intregal part of the group so it will hit harder when she dies. Cass had a wonderful post regarding this a while back, let me give you the condensed version of hers:
Tara is to Willow: Of course, lovers, so that ones a gimme
Dawn .. .Tara's been a sister/mother figure
Buffy. . . .She and Tara have gotten very close lately.
This way it will cause more of a rift in everyone. Because everyone will be hurt.
<<The thing that really scares me however is the fact that finally...after 16 episodes...they remind the audience just how close Buffy and Willow are and were in the past. I have always hated the theory that Willow will be the big bad..... I just hope that last night's closeness between Buffy and Willow wasnt' put there to make a possible rift in the core Scoobs that much more dramatic towards the end of the season. >>
That was what scared me. Because if Willow, (well really WHEN willow) goes evil, it's going to be hard. I really don't see her attacking any of the group, I think it will be mostly vengeance driven, but once she's tasted that power, it's going to be like everything Buff helped her work for is gone. If she does attack the group, I'd say it would be more beacause she's under the influence, because I have heard casting spoilers that Rack is coming back in ep 20. The only bad thing is, this either goes two ways, Buffy helps her recover, or Buffy is hurt and betrayed. I know it's going to be hard for Buffy, but I just CAN'T see Buffy not helping her.

Last nights ep did really bring about some cool ideas though. How believable would the following scenario sound for a fic for the end of Season 6???
When Buffy jumped off the tower...she didn't die...she jumped into a different dimension....this whole season could have been an AU season...that could explain the huge risks the writers have been taking with the characters: B/S and Willow's magick addiction to say the least.
Just a thought.
