And the kissing conversation that Matt cites above—although it is only a brief moment—is the most romantic exchange I have ever encountered in any medium. Truly.

This, with the Istanbul conversation, also taking place in the van, are the most touching bookends to a relationship I think I have ever seen or read. They did such a lovely job with Oz and Willow.

yes, they did. and if SG hadn't wanted to do movies, Oz would have stayed and Xander would have come out. Rock.

Favorite Willow/Oz scene was in "The Wish." Seth was so great.

Willow: What I did... When I think that I hurt you...
Oz: Yeah. You said all this stuff already.
Willow: Right, but... I wanna make it up to you. I mean, if you let me, I wanna try.
Oz: Just... You can leave me alone. I need to figure things out.
Willow: But maybe if we talk about it, we could...
Oz: Look... I'm sorry this is hard for you. But I told you what I need. So I can't help feeling like the reason you want to talk is so you can feel better about yourself. That's not my problem.

More angst & better acting in 45 seconds than in two years of Willow/Tara, IMHO.

I am a much bigger fan of W&T now then I was when it was airing, but I agree with this. I was heartbroken for Willow and Oz, and I never really got there for Willow and Tara. At the end of Tabula Rasa all my angst was for Giles leaving, not W&T breaking up.

Sentiments like this make me face up to the show not being on, and I normally delude myself so well. Look - reruns. See, show still on! Pain. pain in my heart. Must go eat lunch.

I just watched "Conversations with Dead People" on FX this morning -- that would be an excellent Halloween episode. .. although lacking in Xander.

Yeah CWDP is great even with the lacking of Xander.

Too bad we have to wait until Nov 4th for 8.5 the Halloween episode for this season...I hear it is gonna be great. I hate to give away casting spoilers but Ethan Rayne is supposedly in the episode...could this be where we finally find out that Giles is actually Ethan Rayne?

Finally caught up to this thread. *headshake* So many times I wanted to reply to stuff, but it was posted 6 months ago and posting it now would seem kind of silly.

It's a shame FX bumped the afternoon Buffy reruns two hours earlier. It was nice to be able to come home from work and unwind with the show. Ah well.

Yeah I hear you on the bumping back of Buffy in the afternoons. That would have killed me back when I didn't work overnights. Now I get off at 5 AM and am ready to watch 2 episodes at 6 and 7 in the morning. Great way to end/start my day.

I do wish they'd gone with Xander coming out, maybe the rest of the show would have been a little less girl-power heavy, with Xander having a real story line of his own.
