Personally, I really enjoyed this issue. It was good to have few things cleared up about Willow and Kennedy and find out a few interesting bits about Buffy's future.

OK, tell me if I got that right: Did Willow actually confess that she had killed Tara by chosing to save Buffy?

I think it was more like she is revealing that she kind of blames Buffy for Tara's death, because if she had not brought Buffy back Tara would probably still be alive...so in the end she inadvertently "chose" Buffy over Tara.

[Nolwenn]

OK, thank you, I prefer your option.
It's still disapointing though, cuz it's so not Willow.

I don't know, I think the great thing about Buffy is that the characters have grown and changed so much from who they were in the first season.

I think at this point in Willow's life, after the loosing Tara and dealing with the consequences to her Magic addiction and then learning to live with both her magic and grief... it is Willow.

This is part of why I love Buffy (and other Joss creations) because of the long term, lasting growth that the characters experience. In so many TV shows characters will experience something life changing...until the next episode when it is hardly mentions...the Buffyverse is not like that.

I don't understand the beginning. Why are willow and buffy falling from the sky?

[SlayerLV]

They're not falling from the sky they're flying and when Willow goes in for a landing which kind of makes it look like they are falling.

[VAMPYR]

Oh. Okay.
Thanks.
