Fear, itself

[Chasing Cordy]

This has got to be one of the best episodes of the series.
The thing you thought you were afraid of is really not that big of a deal. Brilliant concept!
But there are a couple things about it...

1: Is the spell that Willow does inside the home (in order to find the rest of the crew) the same as the one Tara used to find Willow in the forest during the first or second episode of season six? They seem alike, but are they really? And if they are the same, why was Willow's guide small and green while Tara's was bigger and brighter and more of a white color? Is that some sort of magical level thing?

2: Xander's comment about Anya's costume not being scary enough.
Let's look at the rest of them...Joan of Arc, A tuxedo, and a guy with a mexican outfit. Not scary there either, eh?

1. They are supposed to be the same, I believe. When Willow tried it out in s4 she didn't really have the power/knowledge/whatever to master the spell, Tara was always more careful though, only used spells she knew she could handle, and they had been practicing on that spell a lot (I bet) so in s6 it was really a more powerful.. um.. ball of light?

2. Well, true, but they sort of agreed that she would find some scary costume, that was like the last thing they said.. earlier..

I agree... I love this episode too!! I have just finished watching Season Four again and this is definately one of the best in the season. And to think that i missed it on the original airing!!! 😱

I see what you mean about what Xander said to Anya!! Their costumes are not scary... but they could at least be threatening if they were your enemy lol.... Unless of course its a giant evil flesh eating bunny that is after you!! :aah:

Yeah I kinda have mixed feelings about most of Season 4 but this is one of the best episodes from this season. I like how Oz went as God, lmao, I love it when you see how small the demon is aswell lol.
