Spuffy is 4ever.

re: Tara - my rage will go on.

I mean, I think Tara/Willow was the more interesting Willow relationship, but on the whole I'd pick Willow/Oz over them because at least there's no fridge fuckery.

Speaking of, Fred's fridging also was the worst, even though it led to the sublime perfection that was the Illyria arc. Uh. Yeah. Basically I try to keep calm and focus on Amy Acker's slayage on S5 rewatches.

And I think you're the first Fred/Gunn shipper I've come across to acknowledge how problematic they became (tho that storyline was compelling stuff). Mess @ that entire triangle, good grief.

Sorry for the late response!

Nods like a bobblehead. Exactly my feelings.

Heh yay? /o\ that there aren't more.

I feel like ~with age I'm growing more and more bitter toward that series b/c of all the travesties/needless heartbreak/fridging in S3-S5. I love the characters SO much, but even the less problematic seasons feel tainted. Woe.

Joss Whedon has a lot to answer for, no?

Indeed- the very definition of the word "understatement."
