Salvage, Release and Orpheus and so on....

Well perhaps Jasmine fixed it so that it couldn't be sensed by magic. She managed such things with Connor. But like it was said, we don't know that Willow can intuitively do this. Magic may be a wide foray with different people having different fortes.

First of all thank you all for your answers. 🙂

Season Seven Willow probably should have been able to sense that Cordelia wasn't herself, but Willow on "Orpheus" was basically written as a completely different character. I've read that the screenwriter was a big fan of Willow's, but I wouldn't swear she'd ever seen the show, because she sure didn't nail either Willow's speech or her emotional status at the time all this was going down.

This is exactly what I thought. Willow didn't seem to be how she should have been.

Remember the first episode of S7 when Willow was in England, she was training with those wiccans to be one with nature. Willow then sensed the trouble brewing beneath the earth by touching the ground. She knew there was trouble. I mean humans are also part of nature, we share the same energy field. This is the reason why I was disappointed with the seeming contradiction when she was with Cordy who must have reeked of evil to someone who has heightened awareness.

It's a good question but did Willow ever show any signs of being able to read people, or sense something like that? That was really more Tara's thing.

During Tara's time, Willow was still just a self-indulgent witch who was only about power. Tara's power was pure, hence she was more aware of these things. Now we have seen the improved version of Willow as a wiccan , and I thought she would have at least recognised something is wrong with Cordy. Of course Angel and his team would not necessarily believe Willow just like that. After all, this is their beloved Cordy. Wouldn't it have been nice to see that conflict of belief and disbelief ? :biggrin:

I don't remember Jasmine doing this. I think I need to see the Jasmine saga again.:biggrin:

Did we ever get a reason why Lorne couldn't sense evil cordy? its years since I saw S4, I can't remember!!

I watched Release and Orpheus a billion times last night ^_^ it was so sad when Angel held the shotgun to Faith's head!! that monster!!

Add my name to the list of people who loved these episodes.

I saw this a long time after I saw season 7 of Buffy, so I don't know about Willow acting out of character. I agree about the magic stuff with Cordy. If nothing else, she should have been able to sense that the soul was in the building. But I don't know if I think she was written out of character. She seemed like a breath of fresh air, to me.

Me too. Everything was so dire before Willow came and I thought she lightened it but not excessively so. I love how her and wes are totally flirting together in their scenes! Aly and Alexis were so cute!

yeah. they mention it in 'inside out'. she blocked his reading powers:

ANGEL: While everyone was reeling from that failure, it was making sure my soul was off the market.
FRED: And the vision of the spell to re-ensoul you?
ANGEL: Misdirection.
FLASHBACK TO CALVARY: Cordelia is setting up a magical spell while the gang looks on. White smoke purposefully meanders toward Angelus. The smoke surrounds Angleus's body, lifting him off the ground. Pan over to show Lorne's eyes flash glowing red momentarily.
ANGEL: Getting everyone to look over here while the real action was happening over there.
LORNE: That explains why my mojo's been gunked up. Queen Bee-atch put the whammy on me.

I adored the 3 Faith episodes!

My favorite one was "Salvage" because I liked Faith in "Salvage" more so than the others. Plus, The Beast's demise and the fight in the warehouse is amazing. I love Wesley and Faith's interaction in "Release", though. Wesley screaming at Faith and Faith hitting Wesley was so intense. And Wesley doing it only to show Faith's darkside? Wow. It was amazing!

Willow would've had quite a story to tell about everyone when she returned to Sunnydale. 🙂

It would've been cool if Faith showed up at the start of S4, stuck around longer... Makes me all the more appreciative of her time on the show! 🙂 Am I making sense?!

 

[queenknt24]

well i have to agree i love these ep's they're my fave for the season and prob for the series.
i have to agree with you'ss they have some really good quotes my personal fave is

"Break me off a switch son. There's about to be a whuppin." - Faith.

i love the fight scenes and i like where faith puts connor in his place. that kid just bugged me. 😀

I loved this part from Orpheus:

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: A lot's happened. Not just Angelus. I've been... I've changed. I've seen a darkness in myself. I'm not sure you'd even begin to understand...
Willow: I flayed a guy alive and tried to destroy the world.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Oh. So...
Willow: Darkness. Been there.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Yeah. Well, I never flayed. I had a woman chained in a closet.
Willow: Oh, well hey!
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: No, it doesn't compare.
Willow: No, dark. That's dark. You've been to a place.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: You seem exactly the same as when I left. No other major changes I'm not up on?
Willow: Just little things. So, uh, Fred. What's her story?
