Family

This episode rocks! Family and Restless are definitely my faves! Tara is the coolest.
 
I loved "Family" obviously, look at my name; I like Buffy apart from tara, but tara's character, on her own, did a lot, she was the one who recognized Faith was impersonating Buffy, she helped raise Dawn and became a surrogate mom, she always had clues and knowledge to share, she saved Anya and Willow from death, and became Buffy's sole confidante in season six

welcome karma! :) and tara rocks!
This is the episode that made me love Tara, previous to this, I found her kind of annoying. But, yeah, the speech at the end always gets me.
 
Maybe it's not much to many people, but Tara's lopsided grin at the end was , to me, the high point of the episode. No dialog could have made the point any better.

Yeah, that was awesome.
I personally think Beth was way too opressed by the male members of the family to care. In a way it was kind of like brainwashing I think, and Tara only escaped ending up like Tara coz she went away to college. What are the odds of her heading to a Hellmouth though?
I love this episode so much. I just think the final scene is just brilliant. When Buffy says 'you can go ahead and take her...you just gotta go through me' and then when Mr MaClay says who the hell are you she replies 'We're family'
And thanks to Spike we also get comedy in this scene which is nice. You know when Xander is all 'you're dealing with all of us' and Spike says 'except me. I dont care what happens'
And like White Avenger said that lopsided grin of Tara's is just perfect
 
I loved how Tara got her first real episode all about her.....

But it's very sad to think her kind of oppression goes on in the real world all the time, and can be so damaging to children
 
This is my favourite episode!

and my skin haha

I loved thet whole acceptance and family theme and I loved That it was about my favourite tara!

I loved the metaphor that magic meant gay ... "the lifestyle you chose" such a cliche parent to outing gay child phrase

What i didn't like though was that during thet whole buffy speech bit willow never said anything...I think that would of been a good time to show willows passion and love for tara and I think she should have made the speech.

Intresting you bring that up. Personally I thought it was perfect for Buffy to make that speech, because the audience already knew that Willow accepted Tara. What this was saying was that even if they didn't always get Tara, she was still a part of the "family". I thought it was great 😀

I did like the whole "she is part of our family" thing. but i meant so her family knew that even though they dont agree with tara's lifestyle "choices" you cannot break them apart because of how strong there love is...I just wish she had said something because it would of been a fabulous message hehe

I didn't look at it that way lol. I didn't really think much about being a lesbian as her "choices". Although maybe that's what they had a problem with *shrugs* Seemed more like they were against her being a witch then being gay. Though I'm probably wrong about that lol
 
I like this episode. The scene in the Magic Shop always brings a lump to my throat, especially when Buffy says 'You'll have to go through me' and Tara looks so shocked. It's so sweet!
 
*scratches head* I could have sworn I posted here.

Anyway, this episode was just gorgeous. I think it also brought a complete full-circle of Buffy accepting Willow & Tara because I always got the impression that Buffy, although she loved Willow as her best friend, never really got the 'gay thing' and was somewhat heldback. Then, although it wasn't really portrayed a great deal, I think Buffy was jealous of Tara because suddenly Tara was around and Willow's focus was on Tara. But this episode, it was just like Buffy totally 100% accepted Tara, Tara & Willow and that she has to share Willow.

That's just my take!

I thought of it as a metaphor lol...by the way when i say "choices" im not saying its a choice, im gay and i believe it is a way of life something you are not something you choose...like its a part of you...i was saying it like thats what they think lol just saying hehe

Great episode, loved how Buffy, Giles and The Scoobies stood up for Tara. Even Spike indirectly helped out.


looks like Riley is heading for a dark place, wth was he dong at that Demon bar?
 
Even though I felt bad for Tara, I loved the fact that Spike punched her to prove she wasn't a demon knowing that he would get hurt if she wasn't. Then Spikes little speech about how sexist Tara's family was being, I was thinking "Oh, I love you so much right now Spike!" So happy to see Tara finally apart of the Scoobies. Such a great episode.
 
I loved this episode! It was so important for Tara's character! She'd always felt that she wasn't really part of the group, that she was just a tangent to Willow and not a member of the group. Which was true, to a certain extent. Then once everyone realised that Tara had cast the spell, they didn't even care that much. Sure it was really dangerous and Buffy knew that, but they all stood up for her! Even Spike, though he said he didn't care, he clearly did 🙂

This episode finally let Tara be accepted into the Scooby Gang! And it's my favourite Tara orientated episode! Well, that or Tough Love, but both are brilliant!!

I saw it as a giant metaphor for her being gay.

But yeah, I love this episode, I love Tillow, I love it all. 🙂
 
Good episode, it was nice to see the whole gang band together to defend Tara.

I did think that the parts with her cousin were a bit strange though, I didn't quite understand what her function was in the storyline. She was played by Amy Adams though, which is fun.

A good episode showing that while sometimes your birth family might be intolerant, you can find the tolerand and same kind of love with the right friends.
