And yeah, it's a subject I don't see commented on but it was weird for me as a newer fan to see Tara initiate Willow into "deeper magicks" throughout season 4 right from Hush, perform a spell with Willow and Giles in WTWTA, be the only person who knows Faith isn't Buffy in WAY (however wonky that is), and be portrayed as someone with genuine knowledge and power that she is just beginning to claim herself in S4, and then in S5 she's downgraded to junior partner in terms of the magics. I get where they were going - they wanted to show Willow surpassing her, but I don't think it was necessary to downgrade Tara in order to achieve that.

Thank you for the compliments sweetie!
