Do they know something we don't?, i think i'll try to e-mail them.
[edit]Well, i e-mailed them and await their reply (if they send one) if they do send one i'll post it here.
Maybe it has something to do with the individual actors contract. [/edit]

Yeah, the IMDB is dependent on information supplied by readers, so sometimes fan-generated rumors show up.If I remember correctly, for a time they had Shannen Doherty listed in the Buffy cast as Giles's daughter - or another character with the last name "Giles" at any rate. Stuff like that happens.
So as you can see, what shows up at IMDB, is sometimes far from being to most accurate info out there

..I was wondering if when Willow used her power to restore Tara's mind, if some of Glory's power (or the rush from it) affected Willow or even increased her power. I know that initially, the spell took away her strength, but in the long run did it make her even more stronger taking some power that was possessed by Glory.
Up until that point, Willow's spells had been necessary to do battle against evil. But since then she has been on a "power trip" regardless of consequences...even threatening Giles...
I feel that Tara hiding her strength but after thinking about this possibility, I am wondering if Tara is stronger or not...
(I do not mean that I think Willow is evil or anything, I love Willow and Tara and want them together...but I wonder if this triggered her downward turn)

I noticed that in the TV listings on Yahoo! that they've included ASH in all the descriptions for this season thus far, regardles of whether this was after he left. I think that they just use a template, as noted above.

She leaves home. Starts up with the magic. But she doesn't have the need (or maybe she doesn't want to because of something that could have happened to her mother) to see just how powerful she can be. Plus the fact that she respects magic very much.
Maybe Willow is more powerful. Maybe Tara is. Who knows? But my guess is that Tara herself doesn't even know how powerful she can be because she hasn't tried... combined with her already low self-esteem.

Tara on the other hand appears to have a perfect understanding of what majic is, what it's seated in, wher it comes from and what happens if it is misused. Time and time from S4 onward we have heard her council caution in its use.
For me Tara has buried her power, perhaps unconsciously, because she knows what it can do, but ulimately she will be the more powerfull, because she wisely understands fully what it means to wield that much power.
Read/see Lord of the Rings for a similar sub-plot!

This happened right after Wrecked aired, so apparently someone thought she was gone from the show. She's only just now been put back in, but once again it's incorrect. They are only supposed to add the (1998-2002) style notations when there is *official* information that a character is leaving, as opposed to character death rumors and whatnot. I emailed them about this, and it's supposed to get changed back around January 29th.[This message has been edited by Blixxt (edited January 19, 2002).]

I just have a quick aside to add to that last post. Am I the only one out there ( and I'm sure I'm not),who believes that there is just no way Joss would pass up the opportunity to explore things he was never allowed to show on the WB by having our girls get together again. You know, a real date , first awkward kiss, etc. Just kind of an in your eye to the WB....Just a thought...

"Buffy" honcho says loves help define heroine
By Kate O'Hara
The hardest character to write is the hero. "She can change" says Buffy the
Vampire slayer executive producer Marti Noxon,. But she can't change much.
"You find ways to make them sympathetic and dramatic".but in a way the other
characters really are there to inform her and reflect her." In Buffy's (Sarah
Michelle Gellar's) life so far, she has had three major romantic
relationships; with tortured vampire-with-a-soul Angel (David Boreanaz); with
stand-up soldier boy Riley(Marc Blucas); and a love-hate liaison with vampire
Spike (James Marsters). Introduced in Season Two, as part of a duo with
vampire Drusilla (Juliet Landau), Spike functioned as a foil for Angel and a
witty foe for Buffy. He was added as a regular in Season Four: Rendered
harmless by a government-implanted microchip in his brain, he threw in with
Buffy, trading information for protection. Through Season Five and Six, the
puppyish devotion he once had for Drusilla has been transferred to Buffy.
Spike's affection for Buffy might seem bizarre for a soulless vampire, but for
the foundation established by his relationship with Drusilla and by a
revelation that he was a lovelorn poet in life. "Yeah," Noxon says, "he's a
puppy. . He was a softy in life. Once He's devoted, he's really devoted."
"The thing that is also part of his nature now is that he's devoted for all
the wrong kinds of things. Part of the reason he's attracted to Buffy is
because she gives him such a good pain." Also once in Buffy's thrall was
Angel. "I think of Angel as a masculine icon, an ideal," Noxon says. "On our
show, he was reflective of a pre-adolescent, romantic fantasy. "Spike is much
more about the real kind of relationships we delve into when we're at college
age, the really-working-our-stuff-out kind of relationships. It seems to me
that so many people at that age choose relationships that are doomed to fail,
but also, somehow, they work some of their demons out. "To me Spike is more
real. It was wonderful and fun to write a lot of the Buffy-Angel stuff,
because it was just complete fantasy. . To me, that's a very young girl's
ideal man. Then later, as women get older, it seems like they often pick the
bad boys."
Hmm. I thought women were supposed to grow out of dating bad boys. And it's kind of depressing that she defines Buffy in relation to men...

Just makes you wonder what kind of relationships Marti had when she was in college.
As for the wooing, I agree that their major issue is trust, not love. But Tara isn’t going to just throw herself at Willow once she’s become reassured that Willow is trying to change. This topic has been explored a great deal in fanfic, and I can see where the girls would need to slowly reintroduce themselves to each other as Tara begins to regain her trust in Willow. In that scenario, you could see a good bit of wooing going on as the girls work at becoming more comfortable with one another.
Unfortunately, Joss and Co. won’t be able to dedicate as much time to the process as we’d like. It might end up getting rushed like the reunion in “The Gift” where a lot of the reconciling and healing was done offscreen.

His shows air on different networks, but writer-producer Joss Whedon isn't ruling out a crossover next season between UPN's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and the WB's "Angel."
The two series, once schedule mates on WB, were separated this season after "Buffy" was snapped up by UPN following a nasty public negotiation over renewal fees. Because of the attention the dispute generated, it was thought there would never again be a connection between the shows.
"It's not something we're pursuing this year, but it's something we might get into next year if things have cooled down between the two networks," Whedon said.
Besides the dispute, Whedon said it was important that each show stand alone.
"I don't need to have any more crossovers," he said. "Next year we might look at seeing if we can do one."
"Buffy" launched on WB in 1997; the spinoff "Angel" started two years later.
"Buffy's" move to UPN, while risky, has so far turned out fine for Whedon and the network.
"We had some factors working in our favor," Whedon said. "UPN really came out swinging. They really promised and delivered a great deal of support. They put passion in it. Our fan base is not huge, but it is hugely loyal. I knew they would follow us."
As for the show, Whedon said he and the writing team have never been more excited about the narrative.
"We always try, sometimes we fall short, but by and large, we're happy with this season," he said. "It's just the way the story has been going. We just got into a groove."
For viewers new to the show and devoted fans, Fox Home Entertainment has just released the first season of "Buffy" on DVD. The collection, according to Whedon, has been out in England for a while.
The three-disk set was not, however, a chance for Whedon to go back in and tinker with the original episodes. There is an interview with Whedon and other features, but no major changes to any of the shows, he said.
"I am not a big fan of the director's cut," Whedon said. "There's a lot of self-indulgence there. Directors throw in everything they've got.
"In television, you are forced to bring it down to 43 minutes and change. You end up cutting the fat. [In production] we may lose one or two scenes, and it always flows better without them."

But, if Xander is going to get more screentime that has been promised, this is probably the way to do it. If it does - then I'm not certainly not happy about.

Ok the episode I cannot tell you where she dies because of the legal things and coz i promised. (Note: Yeah, whatever. That's definitely something new) But you won't be disappointed. The gift is something from Anya's past. She does die a horrible death (decapitaion? Stabbed? etc - I'll keep u hanging) but she doesn't get resurrected. The thing is: no one knows, or cares that she is dead. They give it up and think. "oh anya's dead so what" kind of thing. There is a reason why Anya dies, not anything random. Something to do with Buffy, Spike and Buffy's mom. There is also a INCREDIBLE end to this ep where a surprise guest shows up.
Xander has been engaged to her, Tara and her are friends, but no-one cares? Hmm... really?
And how exactly is it connected to Buffy's mother, and Spike and Buffy?
Is it even worth bothering with?

I don't find this Anya death rumor any more convincing than the Tara death rumors have been, really. Not yet, anyway.
