I must admit I would have had less of an issue with Tara's death if it hadn't been done in such a ridiculously contrived manner as well, with that guy firing his gun at an angle that probably wouldn't have come anywhere near hitting her since she was out of sight, in a building on the first floor (second floor if you are American 
). It had also come immediately after she'd made up with Willow after 15-odd episodes of them being separated and, as you say, it was when her name was in the credits for the first time.
). It had also come immediately after she'd made up with Willow after 15-odd episodes of them being separated and, as you say, it was when her name was in the credits for the first time.I can see how he'd want to do it in a random, senseless, non-magical way, in order to set up Willow's further descent into darkness and in order to make the viewer rather conflicted at the moment she kills Warren - the bastard killed Tara on top of everything else, but otoh he didn't really mean to (while we're on the topic, retconning this in the Season Eight comics was idiotic and just not cool). Much like with Joyce's death the season before, her dying of "natural" (as opposed to supernatural) causes makes it more real and impossible to undo. But yeah, that does make it rather hard to swallow, and of course it does seem contrived that that bullet would hit someone on the first floor.
A heretic blasphemes St Joss of Whedon.

So the guy hates Whedon as much as some love him.

Actually, it suggests he likes Whedon's work, but hates Whedon's posturing & fan excesses. *NM*
