So maybe I'm completely obsessed with the T half of W/T, lol, but Tara
was great in these eps. So tough and self-assured, and funny too. She rescued
Anya, found Willow + Xander (tiny tinkerbell) and swung a mean axe.
I
don't know about you, but seeing her so large with the butch definitely made
me peppy. Plus in these eps we got morning kisses, night-time snuggles, and
Tara's own version of grr-arrgh. Ok, ok & witch-fu Will was kick-ass ;)
Scene
We see a huge vampire, like sumo-size, booking through the graveyard.
Giving chase are Tara, Spike, and Giles. Spike jumps out first,
stops to wait for the heavily winded others. The vamp is gone.
Spike: Come on! I'm never gonna get anything
killed with you lot holding me back!
Tara: (catching her breath) I thought ... the big ones tire
more easily...
Spike: No, that's over-the-hill shopkeepers.
Giles: I'm fine. I just need to need to... die ... for a minute...
Spike: (to Tara) It was that powder you blew at him made him rabbit out.
Tara: It's Sobri root! It's supposed to confuse him but it kinda
just made him peppy. It's not supposed to mix with anything
-- do you think he might be taking prescription medication?
Spike: Yeah. That must be it.
Giles: (riffing) Good God. What if he attempts to operate heavy
machinery?!
Spike: (also amused) We could all be--
Willow: Guys! Heads up!
The voice comes from inside their heads. They all perk up instantly
as we cut to: Willow, standing atop a crypt, surveying the graveyard
like a general surveying a field of battle.
