This is the quote: 6:27 [Comment From Julie] Is there anyway you could bring Tara back to life in Season 8 of Buffy? 6:28 Jane Espenson: Julie -- Sorry, I do believe that Tara is really gone. In order to let characters deal with loss, sometimes the loss has to really be loss. This is where you can read the chat http://www.afterellen.com/blog/sarahwarn/live-chat-with-jane-espenson If you're someone who's been reading the Buffy comic in the hopes that Tara might come back , you might as well cancel your subscription , save your money and use it to buy "Death's Daughter" instead.

Some of the issues look gorgeous. If that is true, then no season 8 (or 9) for me. :-) But "loss has to really be loss" to let Willow deal? Really? But in season 7 they planned to bring her back? Really? Ah, well...

When I met him he offered me a sketch, and I asked him for one of Tara, since, as I told him, he'd probably never get to draw her in the book. But he said she's one of his top requests from fans, so he gets to draw her quite a bit. SlayerLit.us

Maybe because I'm still relatively new to this universe and I still miss the character of Tara. Georges Jeanty's Q&As (when he said he was watching the show and struggling with questions, one of it is "Is Tara really dead?" or the one where he said the hardest one to draw in the comics so far is Tara) somehow gives me hope, but I don't want to put much thought to it for fear of being disappointed. Maybe they'll do some form of flashback or whatever.

We would not have to know that it was 'only a dream'. The only bad part, Willow, upon waking, would have to deal all over with Tara's death, and so would we. I never thought that I would say this, "Maybe it is better not to bring Tara's back?" Comma

[/selfishness] I don't buy Buffy-beyond-the-end stuff legaly (I have an edited version of Seeing Red in which buffy dies and Tara lives hapily ever after with her Willow) all after that is just spoof and will be downloaded/bought second hand but I'm not going to support it. Bit radical maybe but Tara was not just a sidekick to Willow. People like Jenny callender, Andrew, The eaten Principal (keep mixing up their names) barely have their own storyline, their characters are good and they are very likeable... But the difference with Tara is that she had her own storyline too, besides the relationship (she's stuff ill very much developing, dealing with her issues, getting stronger and helpin others out with her specific knowledge and skills for magic AND for helping others on a personal level) and her own history (Like for example Anya has her exdemon stuff, Tara has the abusive father and the wiccan mother) These things, especially the part where she's growing so much at the point where "the series end" are IMO reasons not to completely terminate a character. There are many oportunities for new Tara storylines and also you leave the fans behind wit many many unanswered questions by taking her away so suddenly without even showing a funeral or a real time of mourning (willows recovery seems to be more bout magic than about Tara) And also the relationship, they were meant to be and I dont think Willow wil ever be entirely happy again untill she gets her Tara back, she'll always miss her and feel guitly when she forgets for a while. and I need Tara (once again with the selfish) and I'm sure loads of other people need her too. Especially the strong Tara she was becoming towards the "end of the series" goes back into denial and reading fanfic Watch it, I bite!

Oh I did buy the first few issues, including some of the 'special' artwork ones. But I decided that I wasn't going to pay into the Whedon machine further, I stopped buying them...and yes put my $ towards Amber's new book "Death's Daughter".

So, if he ahsnt' told them soemthing, they have to just assume it isn't going to happen. Any further elaborations that Jane or Scott or anyone else puts on it have to be seen as their own ideas. And as I've said, Joss can easily be tellign the truth that he was "thinking of " something, Tara's return via wish or any toehr story diea, and then other circumstances didn't allow him to do it. But, as toad-squirmy as his mind is, there's no way of knowing that he wouldn't've changed his mind along the way if he'd been able to do it. So I don't pretend to know what he's thinking. I t ry to avoid hoping. Persoanlly, I think straightening up SLayer Central would require Tara working on Personnel, Anya on Finances, and Cordelia on Publci rElations, they've (that is,t he characters as written in the S-8 story arc) blown so much so badly. Not sure how If eel abotu the futre of the books, for me; I was followign them to see if there were any good ideas, adn I've liked several,e specially Satsu. But with Harmony's relaity show, I think it's now diverged compeltely from my own ficverse.

It was in the case of Jessie and Kendra and Jenny and countless other characters. How many people died during the course of the show and weren't resurrected? However, Angel, Buffy, Darla, and Spike get to die and come back as often as the storyline merits. They can't talk out of both sides of their mouth like that. Frankly, it's so much bologna. If they wanted to bring Tara back, they could. And if they want to, they will. And if they don't, the only reason I'll buy is that they plain old just don't want to. Any other words is just them blowing smoke up my backside.

Why can't she have just gone to LA? Methinks they could have used a witch there
