I'm one of those fortunate souls that has recently found Buffy. I ordered FX especially to catch up. I have seen the 6th season. Anyway, I just now saw the episode where Oz returns to Willow, and she has in the mean time, fallen in love with Tara.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm really not trying to debate lesbianism in Buffy. That should be for another topic.

Just out of pure entertainment, Oz was becoming one of my favorite characters. Tara's character is fairly lame. They could have done so much more with Oz (being able to control the wolf, and such) . . plus, he's just a very cool character.

I'm I in the minority, or are there others out there that feel the same way?

Now that Tara's out of the way, does anybody think there's a possibility of Oz's return??

It was Seth Green's decision to leave, not Joss Whedon's. Without spoiling things, some plot points that happened to Tara were originally supposed to happen to Oz.

If an actor feels the need to move on for whatever reason, financial, artistic or whatever, more power to him. If I could double my money at another job for doing the same work, I'd be a fool not to.

I thought they were getting of the TV series called Oz! But it's Oz from Buffy! I think this thread title is a little misleading.

Me too.. Oz is good though..

When does the new season start?

Last season of Oz should be airing in Jan. 2003

THAT plot point was supposed to happen to Oz?

Yeah, it was seth greens idea to leave the show. Good riddence. he really didn't add much as a monster character anymore. oh well. and I'm sure tara's fate would have been his if he did stay. all in the steps to take willow down that path.
