I thought I was the only one who isn't super fond of Restless.
Hah, me too! I think the dream that sticks with me most in some ways is Xander's because I'm getting information about him that has been hinted at but not really explored in any depth. And the satires of lipstick lesbian fantasies, and Apocalypse Now are pretty fantastic IMO.
I'm conflicted about Buffy's dream sequence, because I do like the iconic quote from it (gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back etc.), but then there's all that super sketchy race stuff there too.
Oh god - the race!fail. Again, see my comments about Robin - they had seven years to get their shit together and they just kept failing on this. And the harder they tried to "have diversity" the more embarrassing it got. JFC, yet another "Magical Negro" to show the white protagonist the way, (Baz Luhrmann used the same fucking device in "Australia" just a few years ago - and DID NOT see the problem with that) and Tara in a sari? Ugh.
OTOH - Tara also predicts her own death: "The blood cry, penetrating wound". I noticed that just a few weeks ago writing about the Buffy & Tara connection and holy SHIT; now I can't unsee it.
