Willow ,'Get It Done'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
When I watch her bring Buffy back from the dead
I don't see how this was bad of Willow. She thought she was doing the right thing - and so did Xander, Anya, and Tara. If you think Willow was wrong in doing this, then she shares the blame with the others.
X-posty :)
What Hec Said. If I were Willow, I'dve done the same thing. Not that it still wouldn't be wrong, but I would.
Also with the hubris: not telling Giles, Dawn or Spike. That shows she knew she was doing something potentially very dangerous and wrong, she also knew that she could to, an extent, control Xander, Anya and Tara and was willing to.
edited because now this sounds all argumentative with that last few posts. not meant to be.
Okay, yeah, good points about the Raising. When watching belonging I really noticed the all-19 vibe. No older people to help with the sense of proportion. What about casting that spell on Tara? That was the part I found most unforgivable.
She had no idea.
Still. No Buffy and the First Evil wins.

As for most of us as well.

To me that doesn't excuse anything, though. Willow did this on purpose - to exclude other points of view that would disagree with her.
No Buffy and the First Evil wins.
Wins what? It caused the trouble in S7 because of what Willow et al did.
We don't actually know that; it could've been her first resurrection. (Though, yeah, probably not.)

Oh yes. I'm behind Buffy leaping merrily into bed with S7 Spike before I'm behind Willow and Tara getting back together, no matter how lovely the scene at the end of Entropy was. (And I'm not in favor or the first one, either, to be clear.) I had to kind of unfocus my eyes and forget about the memory spell on Tara exactly the same way a lot of people have to kind of unfocus their eyes about the attempted rape in Seeing Red, because I know my reaction to it is way out of proportion to the one the writers wanted me to have.
I don't think that resuscitation is comparable to resurrection.
