      I thought that was SOOOOOOO cruel!
      she had to be in the main credits earlier….
      she had a bigger role then Seth Green who also got to be in the main credits

      It seems to have been something of an allusion to what Joss Whedon wanted to do with Eric Balfour (put him in the opening credits in the pilot, and for him to die in the episode.) You are right, though. It was cruel to not have her in the credits for so long. Honestly, I was terrified that they would kill her in season five when she kept not being a cast member.

      Yeah Joss said so in the comments…
      but i dont think its fair though…
      she worked so hard in the show, she was so refreshing and so powerful in her acting…

      I still wanted her to make it trough the end.. that would have been much more intresting then Kennedy…

      their would have been more options to make willow the big evil… *my opinion*

      I’ve always thought that sometimes, characters just need to die. It’s sad, but that’s the writing process. No one develops in life if there is no death in their world.

    5. Wynter says:

      I don’t get the point of putting her in the credits for ONE episode…she should’ve been in them from season 5, when Emma Caulfield was added as a regular too. It’s not fair!

    6. NotFadeAway says:

      I was really worried when I saw Amber Benson in the opening credits, as it was strange and therefore made me afraid that it would be her last episode (I never watched commercials so I don’t know if it was hinted at or anything.) Of course, seeing that episode made me really mad for a few days, and sad for a few days after that.
