Of all the words of tongue and pen, the saddest
are, "what might have been..."
Read an article over at www.comicbookresources.com,
concerning Joss Whedon holding a panel at the WizardWorld comics convention in
Chicago. One of the things he mentioned(among his plans for Astondishing
X-Men, the Buffy cartoon and the movie Serenity) was a story he had planned for
Season 7, but was unable to do because Amber Benson was unavailable. For
the article; link here;
His idea is at the bottom of the page, so here's
the pertinent text(in boldface);
"When [Seth Green's werewolf character] Oz
left rather suddenly I was devastated. I had a whole year's arc planned," said
Whedon. "Though if that had not happened, I would not have met Amber Benson,"
referring to the actress who became Willow's lesbian love interest, Tara,
following Green's departure.
Whedon also explained that prior to
contract negotiation problems, he had intended to bring Benson's character back
after having her murdered at the end of the sixth season, but how he was to do
it.
"About three or four episodes from the end
of the last season, Buffy was going to be granted one?reality altering wish. The
episode would revolve around her struggling with what she could do for herself
with that wish. She could bring Angel back to her..."
Whedon then briefly described the episode
ending scene. "Buffy would walk into a room and show Willow these shoes that she
wanted. Willow would then express disappointment and say 'You had one
reality-altering wish and you wished for shoes?' Buffy would then deny that she
had done that and leave. Willow would turn around and there would be
Tara."
Now wouldn't that have been a nice episode?
Not only would we have been spared the season of Kennedy, but it would have
shown Buffy willingly sacrificing her own happiness for her best friend.
Ironically this reunion of Willow and Tara would have been the ultimate
Buffy/Willow moment as well! Oh well...
Slowly working on 'Defenders of the Night',
although I've been sidetracked by my new passion, Peter Parker and MJ
Watson. Check my stories, 'The Jackpot' and 'The Goblin Wars' at www.fanfiction.net, under
