Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Hi,
I've been a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a couple of years, I first encountered the show during it's last two years on UPN.
I've been watching some episodes of the last season of Buffy and I had a thought while watching the episode "Conversations with Dead People"
My thought was what if The First appeared to Willow in the guise of her former lover Oz? What's that you say? The First could only appear in the guise of someone who's died? Right. So who's to say Oz didn't die off screen as the result of a Werewolf hunter in an off screen car accident?? Hmmm?
Im my thought, the scene would have gone something like this.
Willow is in the library, and Oz walks up.
Oz: Hi Will.
Willow(looking up):My God, Oz(excited) she rises to hug him. He waves her back down.
Oz(standing in front of Willow across the table from her)"How've you been? I heard about Tara and(pauses)...the rest"
The scene progresses with Willow talking about Tara and the evil she possessed. And ends pretty much as the scene did in the episode.
The reason I like this version over the one chosen is that it gives Willow a familier person to play off of, and I think it's a little creepier to have the former love of your life telling you to kill yourself than some anonymous teenager. Just my thought on the subject
