This just in!

Over at Sci Fi Wire there is an article entitled Tara's Death Riles Buffy Fans.

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2002-06/13/09.30.fandom

(You should read the full article for it contains fodder for a new discussion thread)

However the last sentence of the piece does relate directly to this thread:

As for whether Whedon will bring back the
character next season, he told SCI FI Wire
cryptically, "Tara will not be back. But Amber will."

I guess that narrows things down to Amber as a behind the scenes type (writer/director/producer?) or Amber playing an entirely new character on the show.

Willow kept the Buffy-bot going for almost a year. She's lonely. Why not build a better Tara?

"Hi, I'm the Tara bot! I hate Oz! His hair sticks straight up! Emphasis on the 'straight!'"

Normally, I wouldn't read things like this into the series, and I usually don't... but since the episode was written by Joss, and Joss is the only one who really ever does anything "prophetic," i feel it's a possibility that Willow will "find" Tara in the afterlife or something... or maybe Tara will find Willow and help her or something crazy like that.

There's also the parts in Restless where she acts as a guide to the rest of the gang... and a part where she guides Willow when she's lost in the curtains.

I usually hate it when people say stuff like this... but since most of the stuff in Restless has come true, it wouldn't surprise me if that is part of the gang's prophcey dreams. Not saying that it will happen... just saying it's a possibiblity. I still fee, however, that the most logical way we'll ever see Amber Benson as Tara is if she's in flashback form.

(reading back over this, I sound *just* like the people I hate... reading too much into the little stuff.)

... I guess it's a Joss thing...

That's an excellent bit of speculation. We may well see her back on the show - not corporeally, but visibly there in real time because she has some sort of spirit-guide function. I don't think I really approve of that - I thought Tara was great but they did kill her and dead really should be dead more often than it is on BTVS. But you make a good case for a foundation already having been laid. If it was going to be done, of the various means, I'd probably prefer something like what you suggest. Ideally speaking, I mean. It could be really screwed up in the details, even if it's a pretty good concept generally.
