Good show.
The “I bought Nero his first fiddle” line actually makes perfect sense. You mentioned that Nero burned Rome, but the detail you forgot is that while rome was burning, he celebrated and played his fiddle in joy.
Just some trivia
The whole Nero thing was a reference to the… well urban legend really, that nero spend the whole night playing music while watching rome burn to the ground
There’s always a pointless love song in musicals. Tara’s song is it. This just goes to show that Joss did his homework and understands musicals.
Re: Nero. He fiddled while Rome burned.
I didn’t think Tara’s song was pointless – I thought it was character development. Now we understand WHY Tara loves Willow, which I think is important to understanding her as a character.
Plus, it gives us that lovely double-meaning in the reprise.
I completely agree with Lisa regarding Tara’s song. I am also shocked that Randy and Wayne appeared to have missed the fact that Tara’s song contains some of the most sexually explicit double meanings ever broadcast on mainstream television, at least until “Family Guy.”
Tara song wasn’t pointless at all. I think it was important to have it in there, since She and Willow’s relationship is about to broken up and we needed to understand exactly how hard it was for Tara to say, “I can’t be with you anymore.” It just needed to be done. I also really think Tara did have alot of character growth through here seasons on Buffy as well, because she could bearly stand up for herself when we first met her, but as the seasons came she was willing to beat down Anya for getting on Willow about not using magic, carried herself differently, became a mother like figure to Dawn… there was just so much to me. I loved Tara and was so sad when they killed her and Amber didn’t return for the seventh season.
I agree with everyone it was a very big devlopment for tara’s character
