Who's That Girl?: A great article

» adultfan - A great article

I want to say what I great article this was, althought "The Body" is part of season 5 and came after Riley was already gone. Lately I've seen nothing but negativity toward this show, so it is good to see a change. I've seen a lot of homosexual groups bashing Joss Whedon for killing Tara. I'd like to say that their comments that this is back to the "celluloid closet" does a disservice to both the lovely characters of Willow and Tara. At the end of season five Willow used dark magic to save Tara. It makes sense she would return to what worked before. Tara was easily the sweetest character in BTVS. To say that she was killed because she was gay is stupid. The fact that she was such a lovely person made her death painful to all viewers. She won't be remember as "that gay girl" but rather as the angel who was stolen from the group. When people think back to the fact that she was gay, I think that will change people's perceptions of lesbians in incredible ways. And Willow should be angry at losing her. Don't forget Dawn was destroyed by her death too. The repercussions of her death will likely be felt in early episodes next season. Again, thanks for the great article
