Good on Tara, I knew she had hidden depths. Xander and Willow are really full of themselves, let's hope they're in for a rude awakening.

To be fair Willow and Xander don't know that they are being controlled by an evil creature. But yeah they really are full of themselves! I always thought that Tara had more magical ability than Willow. Willow might have had power but the way she did spells is why they always went so bad for her. She just took what she wanted. Tara knew how to do things right and she got the results she was actually looking for because of it.

Way to go Tara!!!! Strong mojo and very wise words!!! As they say it's the quiet ones for whom you have to watch out!!!! Xander's little dig at Spike made me smile - clearly he forgot the research Spike has done in the past with the Gem not to mention all the work he would've had to have done on Slayers. Plus something tells me that someone with Spike's human background would have no problem with latin and greek (plus all those other languages he would've picked up in over 100 years!!!). Hopefully Tara and Anya will be able to open up Buffy's eyes to Spike's potential as a romantic partner - that 'poor boy' as Joyce would say certainly needs some love and joy in his 'un'life. :)

I always thought she had more to offer than we ever saw. It's always the quiet ones. As an outsider she can see the group dynamics better than the rest. She is a genuinely nice person who looks for the good in others. Tara understands magic better than anyone other than possibly Giles. No matter the power Willow has or will have if what you are trying to do is being done for the wrong reasons it isn't going to work as well as it should. The spell Tara is did was being done for the right reasons and that is what made it so powerful. Well Xander sees Spike as pretty much a one dimensional thing. Vampire, kill, kill, kill. The fact that Spike was intellegent and educated as a human doesn't register with Xander. The research he did for Dru's cure alone tells us that. He may have had Dalton do the translations but I think that was only to keep up the image of the big bad not because he couldn't do it himself.

Buffy can be very disappointing sometimes, good job Tara and Anya make up for her.
Until Spike got his soul on the show she never admitted that Spike's feelings were real. They were real for him, implying that they weren't real to her. So for her here in season 5 to have some doubts is hardly shocking.
