I came across this thread as a link at the great "All things Philosophical about BtVS:
http://www.atpobtvs.com
It was a Lesbian's response to the Death of Willow's Love Interest Tara at the end of this season.

My belief was that the creator of the show killed off the character so that we would all be appalled by it (as the Tara Character was a well loved one and had no real annoying qualities, a rarity on the show) and would cause one of the main character to be pushed over the edge. So while we didn't want to see Willow carry out vengence that would push her over to the dark side, we all would have sympathy for what caused her to go over.
This thread insists that it is all part of the "Dead/Evil Lesbian Cliché" and that it was insensitivity to the Lesbian Lifestyle...
For those buffy fans out there, what do you think???
