I haven't been about for a while. So you probably already had this debate. But when Adam first came into play Willow and Tara did a spell to try and find demons in the area and Tara deliberatly messed it up. Then that was it, no 'previously on Buffy the vampire slayer' no nothing. But now with the way she featured heavily in the dream sequences and talking for the slayer and all. It is possible they did'nt want a new carachter (close to the end of the budget) or do you think it meant somthing more?

No. I think Tara purposefully left her dust out of the spell because she didn't think they were ready for it. She didn't tell Willow because she didn't wasn't confident enough to say no so early on in the relationship. And I also think that was a really telling moment in the development of her character. As far as all the dreams go, I just think it mean't that yes she has a lot of power, and that we really don't know anything about her yet (but that we will get to know more in S5 - we can but hope). But I really don't think, and I really don't want her to end up evil, or there for another reason, cause I think that would be repeating the Jenny story way too much.

yeah i think there's definitely something she's not telling and I wouldn't rule out the demon thing.

I think there is defintely something funky going on with Tara. She's obviously a very strong wicca. Perhaps stronger than we realise. I guess we'll find out eventually

My friend is going down that line of thought too. If she is a demon, then she's a good demon, or maybe she's some other great form of power we have yet to encounter. What I want to know is, Willow knows she's a better Wicca than her, so why hasn't she had Tara change Amy back into a human?

I think if they brought Amy back into at the moment there would be too many cast members, and 3 witches would be a bit too many. I think if they did turn her back it would only be for an episode and then she leaves. i don't have anything against her, i actually liked her character, but i think the scooby gang would be overcrowded

Tara right, remember she said she has been palying with magic and wicca since she was a child. This leds me to believe that she is more powerful than we have been led to believe. Maybe she'll come out of her shell next season

I have been thinking about this. I thing there is some sort of connection with Tara the first slayer thing. In the spell they invoked the power of the slayers from the daughter od senaya to the present slayer joined with Willow, Xander and Giles. I did a bit of research and Senaya which is an Armacic name is also linked to the coming of the Buddha. Tara is The White Tara in Tibeten Buddhism. Remember how tara was dressed in the scene with the first slayer. The part that had Senaya was all in a diffent lanugugue which I couldn't read. Tara was a bit of a kick ass Goddess what I can remember.

I don't have any real references to hand but I'm 90% certain she appears in Celtic and Hindu mythology, as well as Buddhist. C

I didn't really get the website I was looking at but yes C your are right. As for the TARA goddess Well Tara means "she who Liberates" she who ferries us across the oceans of Samsara. Well according to me book. So Tara is Like a guide. She was sort of in the dream. she must have been sent o help buffy in season 5. Thats my final guess. quote: Originally posted by C: Senaya is an Aramaic language in it's own right, it's only spoken by a tiny number of people (a few hundred at most, mainly in Iran and the US)As for Tara being a buddha... http://www.tibetart.com/image.cfm/323.html Also the name has been associated with goddesses of protection.
