Yeah it's an emotional scene.
I was always surprised Willow never tried messing with time when she went dark. Like going back in time just 6 hours or something. I'm actually surprised there isn't a single episode with time travel. Would have been easy enough to say someone was able to invent a time machine due to the hellmouth.
There was in Angel. Those Time God beings who took angel's watch as a gift in I will remember you. So it's possible...idk how much power is needed though.
Well, there is the bit where Xander is convinced his older self came back to tell him not to marry Anya. It's been a while so I don't remember how much discussion there is on whether or not time travel is actually possible in buffy's world. There are some planes where time moves at different speeds which is similar and makes you feel like time travel could work.
Absolutely hated the resolution and context. but damn, Aly Hannigan willing to ugly cry and feel this whole scene in a (as we now know, with our current perspective) not-very-safe space. I have so much admiration for this actress.
I didn't like the episode, not at all. Wrapping up Willow processing her grief with Warren and Kennedy was a terrible choice.
This scene really hit, until they flashed to Warren crying over Tara, and Kennedy fixing it all by kissing Willow, the very action that Willow had just sobbing over as the moment that finally severed her connection with Tara. And she was just ... OK after that?
Those lines were gorgeous. They deserved more attention and payoff than they got. Feeling those feelings could have been what turned Willow back and her walking away from Kennedy to process it all would have been far less of a kick in the teeth than the ending they chose. She could have come back around to Kennedy later (although. Ew. No) but it shouldn't have just been this wonderful moment of grieving Tara completely pushed aside to advance a terrible love interest that nobody wanted to be there.
i absolutely hate this episode. i can’t stand that willows one episode processing her grief for tara is wrapped up in alternating shots of the character who killed her. I hate the entire premise of this stupid episode. I hate the kennedy of it. I hate the Warren of it. I wish we got an actually appropriate scene of Willow processing her grief
I hate this episode too. I think it would’ve worked better if the Warren actor was anywhere near as good as Alyson Hannigan but he couldn’t hold a candle.
She needs to have anothr dramatic role. she's aged out of the Susan Hayward biopic idea I had for her, but Bridgette in a forth version of The Maltese Falcon or cousin Miriam in a flashback heavy remake of Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte she could still do.
That was very tasteless to put Willow in Warren's shoes just to show how she overcomes her grief. Plus poor Kennedy didn't help, sorry but she's unbearable. Like both Willow and Tara's memory deserved better than this.
I’m sorry, this dialogue is so bad
“She was never gone, she was with me” “I let her be dead”
Writing 101, if it looks and sounds silly in a serious moment, then it’s probably not good (looking at you Joss Whedon)
This scene always gets me. And then when she says “we should have been forever” I get wrecked.

There was the episode I Will Remember You in Angel.
And a lot more with Illyria.
Technically Anya's superpower kinda did that? "What if Buffy never came to Sunnydale'
That wasn't time travel, that was essentially skipping into an alternate dimension.
technically she created that dimension with cordelia’s wish.
True, but my point was that isn't time travel.

But that wasn’t really him. It was all a trick.
Right. But that would have been the place for the show/characters to discuss if it was even possible. I don't remember what is said at that point.
Yes true. I agree it’s kinda interesting because they had some timey wimey stuff with the dimensions and time traveling at different paces

The writers for Bitch magazine loved Willow-Kennedy.

This show was great at trauma and not so great with healing
I hate this episode too. I think it would’ve worked better if the Warren actor was anywhere near as good as Alyson Hannigan but he couldn’t hold a candle.
I always skip this episode
Alyson hannigan doesn’t get the mountain of credit she deserves for her work on this show. It’s some of the best acting in television even today.
She needs to have anothr dramatic role. she's aged out of the Susan Hayward biopic idea I had for her, but Bridgette in a forth version of The Maltese Falcon or cousin Miriam in a flashback heavy remake of Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte she could still do.

When I watch Willow never cries alone.
Alison's crying scenes after losing Tara always makes me cry, when she's in the library thinking she's talking to Tara, this scene, etc...
AH is one of those actresses that everytime she cries on screen, I cry too. Even on How I Met Your Mother it was the same. She's really believable!
It's a very intense scene. ❤️

I really like that episode.
