New BBC Rebecca Rand Kirshner interview

[Reddygirl]

It's part of the series they've been doing with cast and writers. It's linked at the BC&S, which is where I read it. Some W/T stuff, vaguely spoilerish.

From the transcript on the BBC site:

Willow and Tara - is there conflict ahead?

Yeah, conflict’s good. I like writing for conflict. I also would seem to be writing for a lot of crazy people. Crazy talk is one of my specialities it seems.

I think that’s a problem that’s part of their dynamic, and it’s something they’re still dealing with in Season six. Definitely.

We also see a darker side of Willow.

She’s getting really, really powerful and when you have those powers and they’re growing, it’s hard to know when to stop. It’s hard to know what’s fair game and what’s not, and in a way it reflects Buffy’s relationship with Riley. [It’s about] what happens when two people of varying powers are working together or working on a relationship together. At what point do you have to stop being powerful to let the other person feel all right, and at what point is being as powerful as you can be the optimum thing for your relationship?

That's it!

Was there a date on this? It sounds like it was written at the beginning of S6.

[Willowlicious]

Well, it's for the BBC, so it's geared toward the beginning of S6 since they're behind us. I'm not sure of the exact date though.

[Warduke]

I agree Scout it sounded old, and we were right

Thanks! I always enjoy reading her comments, but I just wanted to be sure that she was referring to conflict that we've already been through, as opposed to conflict on the horizon.
