Comments on: I’ll have the less confusing waffles right now http://www.moley75.co.uk/2007/05/15/ill-have-the-less-confusing-waffles-right-now/ This blog is supposed to be about all sorts of things but, shall we say, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a minor interest of mine.

I re-watched this episode a couple nights ago and it only killed me even more. I can see how it might sound unnatural for someone else, but for me it's the most perfect instance of the stutter. Except maybe when it comes out of hiding in season 5 in times of great stress. Also, I had forgotten how much I really do love Oz. Before Tara, he might very well have been my favorite character and the scene in the van is really touching, especially in contrast to the scene way back in Innocence when Willow asks him if he wants to make out. They've both come so far... Different strokes, I suppose. I re-watched this episode a couple nights ago and it only killed me even more.

Just to clarify, I don't have a general problem with Tara's stammer and what it signifies when she does stutter but it is just in this episode and, in particular, the "Do what makes you happy" scene that it sounds (to my ears) forced and unnatural. I <i>adore</i> Amber Benson and her portrayal of Tara as you will see if you stick around... Charles, thank you for your comment.

This is one of my absolute favorite episodes in part because Tara is my favorite character and this is when she is happiest and at her very best, but also because I think it's a tremendously acted episode. One disagreement: the stutter is one of the (if not the single most) endearing things about Tara. I don't know if it was supposed to be part of the character or was just an inspired moment from Amber Benson, but it is brilliant. She doesn't overdo it, and it's a strong sign throughout the seasons that she is seriously stressed out or feeling left out. I never fail to cry at the end of this episode. Nothing on the scale of what you're doing here, but I just posted my thoughts after finishing the series a couple nights ago <a href="http://heartachewithhardwork.blogspot.com/2007/08/its-all-long-goodbyes.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> if you're interested.

I like parts of it a lot (anything with Tara) but the rest is confused. Hi Goya,

SMG is great in her dialogue delivery in the dorm scene. we dont generally feel for her (being slayer & all), shes still the glue that holds the series and the scoobies together. great actress playes a range of emotions very well. this is a favourite for many reasons some of them being the fabulous acting, brilliant music and genuine emotions, particularly seen in the interaction between O/T, O/W and W/T. none of the 3 main here are bad but someone had to get hurt.
