WHY DID THIS NOT HAPPEN?

Joss was going to bring Tara back in the seventh season. He planned an entire episode about Buffy being granted one wish, no restrictions, and she would be debating the whole episode on what that wish would be but couldn't choose....and finally, at the end of the episode, she would visit Willow and talk about something shallow and superficial that she would have wanted (ex. shoes) Willow would be confused and ask if she used her wish for that, and Buffy would go, "of course not" and silently leave the room. And then Willow would turn around....and Tara would be standing in front of her.

But unfortunately, even with Joss fighting and fighting for this concept to happen, it just didn't work out for whatever reason, and they had to let that idea go.

WHY DID IT NOT GO THROUGH? OH MY GOD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT. AND JUST, OMG TARA!

;______________;


I've been Buffy watching for the last few days, like just marathoning episode after episode, so I'm just on a Joss Whedon kick at the moment. Soon will be moving onto Angel.

My favorite Xander ship would be him and Cordelia, because I quite liked their interactions and how much chemistry they had. He had that with Anya, sure, but there's something about rewatching S2 and S3 that makes me appreciate their relationship. But yeah, they didn't really have any other male characters that I could see him being with, though I assume had the show gone in that direction of showing his flexible sexuality we would have been introduced to a male character that Xander would have been in a relationship with that would have suited him, in a sense.

It's those "what ifs" that make me wonder. I mean, Willow/Tara was very risky to show even back then, they didn't even allow them to kiss onscreen until "The Body" so, yeah.
