Well, I suppose it could be asked:  What makes it a potential lovers
thing instead of the just good friends thing with no physical
attraction between them or romantic feelings that was canon?  What I
never got was how we were supposed to believe that Willow was never
attracted to a woman until Tara came along.  With Buffy, Cordy, AND
Faith around, we're to believe Willow never got a tingly feeling?

Then, there was ME trying to have it both ways with Buffy and Faith,
saying they were sexually attracted to each other, while, at the same
time, insisting they were both completely straight and had no sexual
feelings for women, whatsoever.

Yeah.  Never got that.  Personalities just don't mesh, there.

Yeah, with Slayers like Buffy and Faith, I can see it.  They're not
that far off, psychologically, from what they hunt, after all.

Well, the romantic pool for Buffy was kind of shallow once the Riley
thing didn't work out.  Giles was gone, Xander was committed to Anya,
which left, well, no one.

Well, the redemption storyline was a good one, even if it did
complicate things.
