That may be the case for the beginning of the season, but if you actually watch Wrecked and anything following it, you'll see that they left that angle in the dust.
Adds to the point that I believe it was Marti's fault. Everything leading up to Wrecked alluded to power addiction, but once Wrecked aired... oops, magic is now literally addictive. And *gasp* it has the same physical effects as heroin!

Well, it was a little more complicated than that. We got "Willow has an addictive personality" and Tara as an example of somebody who "can handle it".
Except a good Mutant Enemy story shouldn't need that kind of psychobabble!

What about GONE? Willow felt helpless without the aid of her magicks until she finally took some intitiative in tracking down the nerds. Gone was after Wrecked. (Duh!)
She knew Tara loved her for who she was, so she gave up magick to give up the power and because the girl we know and love. ONce Tara died, she had no use for remaining magick-free and non-powerful, and went completely pumped of power and on the whole dark vengeance spree.

By "Gone" do you mean the same "Gone" where Willow is carrying around a water bottle because she is in obvious physical withdrawl? How about "Doublemeat Palace" when Willow highlights her entire book because she can't concentrate due to her *physical withdrawl*? In Wrecked, Amy experiences *physical withdrawl* when she visits Buffy's home to take the oregeno (a *stupid* scene, btw)... then there are the strung-out kids in Rack's waiting room, who are experiencing the same effects of a *physical addiction* to heroin... and don't get me started on Willow's contrived little decision to take Dawn to Rack's "lair," an act that reaks of *physical addiction.*
If you're denying the fact that magic was *directly* related to drugs during this season, then you are either blind or horribly, horribly naive. PEOPLE DON'T SUFFER PHYSICAL WITHDRAWL WHEN THEY ARE DENIED POWER.
Whether or not she was power hungry is not what I'm arguing. I believe that during "Two To Go" Willow did indeed become power hungry... and the same power-crave was alluded to in the episodes prior to Wrecked; however, anything following and including Wrecked abandoned the power angle and never again alluded to Willow being power hungry... at least not until "Two To Go," when she drains Rack. This is how I saw it, and this *is* an objective matter. Read whatever the
you'd like into those episodes... I don't care how you saw it.--Dylan Palmer, aka NoVaGrAsS--
