DAY NINE- FAVORITE ROMANCE
This will probably get every person ever on my back, but I have a confession to make: I like Oz/Willow better than Willow/Tara. Crazy, I know, but hear me out. Because when I was young, the guy I dreamed up as the perfect boyfriend looked and acted just like Oz. Mind you, this was before I even saw Buffy. And If Oz had hung around, I probably would have hated him, but to this day I have a hard time watching the episode where he leaves.
Willow and Tara are great, and as her own person, I like Tara more than Oz, but there was something about Willow and Oz as a unit that made me root for them. Oz pulled Willow out of her shell in so many ways, and he was just so darn sweet. There are other relationships that I like better than Willow/Oz, but the question isn’t about relationships, it’s about romance, and their romance is superb. I’m sorry, but you could never say Buffy and Spike were that romantic, or Xander and Anya, which are probably my other favorite couples.
Sigh. Whatever happened to sensitive, guitar playing guys who buy you a witch shaped pez dispenser?
