Watched an episode last night, actually going to write about it within almost a day of watching it whoamg.
Buffy - Season 5, Episode 6: Family
In which Tara is a demon, oh wait, no she isn't.
So finally they address what is up with Tara, and I must say, it was more underwhelming than I thought it could be. Tara's family rolls into town and they are all enigmatic and Tara is acting all kinds of reserved because of it an Amy Adams is there. Oh and we find out that Tara is part demon and they need to take her away before she shows herself so Tara casts a spell on the gang so they don't see demons oh goodness! Oh, but then it turns out the whole demon thing is just a lie the family uses to keep the females in check. Lame.
Yeah, this episode didn't really do it for me. I enjoyed Spike coming and rescuing Buffy, but since he's an evil force, Buffy couldn't see him helping her. It was a nifty sweet kind of thing. I didn't enjoy the whole "we are a family" thing when the gang was standing up to Tara's family because it seemed really random, especially after the entire time before it everyone was talking about how they didn't really know Tara. They possibly hinted at Amy Adams being around a little more with the little staredown she had with Tara at the end of the episode, but that could just be me hoping to see more Amy Adams on my television screen.
I don't know. I think I'm just disappointed in this episode because it wasn't at all what I hoped it would be regarding Tara. I'm going to give the show some more time to expand on her a little, but as of now, I'm not happy with her direction.
