Well there are really two things that bother me about that. First it makes 
it sound like Willow isn't as better as we've seen. And from everything you 
guys have been saying about 'Normal Again', there seems to be a few hints 
here and there.

Secondly, it also worries me that they're aren't as finished with the B/S arc 
as it would appear. That thought bothers me more. 

The best thing I can hope for is if Willow does slip, and it's starting to 
look more and more likely, than maybe Buffy will be able to pull her back. 
>From what I gather there was a line in 'Normal Again' about Willow always 
coming thru for her. Maybe it was a setup to show that Buffy is the one that 
has to come through for her friend this time, not the opposite.

Anyway, without seeing the ep it's hard to form an opinion. The article 
itself doesn't worry me all that much. It seems that Marti has changed her 
tune two different times this season all ready because her comments have snow 
balled on her with the different fandoms. I'm at the point where I'm close 
to just trying to block this whole season out and just try and focus on what 
could happen next season. Of course depending on how far they take the last 
5 eps who's to say if I'll even be tuning in next season :(
