Oz

Oz

Oz was a cool and thoughtful guitar-player in band Dingoes Ate My Baby. Oz’s full name was Daniel Osbourne. He fell in love with Willow, who decided to stay with him when Oz discovered he was a werewolf (Phases). The two went to UC Sunnydale together where Oz met Veruca, a fellow werewolf. One full moon, he escaped from his cage and when he woke up - human - in the morning he was disgusted to find himself naked with her. Veruca tried to convince him that they belonged together, and that he shouldn’t ignore the wolf inside him. He tried to resist yet locked himself in a cage with Veruca so she wouldn’t be free to kill anyone as a wolf. Willow discovered the two naked together in the morning and Oz decided to leave Sunnydale to try and find a cure for his condition (Wild at Heart). He still loved Willow very much and didn’t want to hurt her. Oz successfully cured himself of his wolfishness, only to return to find that Willow had a new girlfriend. He left Sunnydale again, this time for good (New Moon Rising).

  1. Smash says:

    I love how tiny he is. Xander, Riely, Angel, and Spike were all so huge, he looks like a leprechan standing next to them.

  2. Jess says:

    Me too, Smash. I also loved his conversation with Xander in The Zeppo about Xander’s “exciting new obsession”. He was a great guy and very much missed.

  3. Saintsaucey says:

    He was supposed to return to Angel if it had gone on to a sixth season

  4. Puja says:

    Any evidence of this Saucey? I’m writing my own atm and am hoovering up information about how the writers would’ve taken it themselves.

  5. Saintsaucey says:

    Joss said in an interview or maybe on one of the comentaries for season five of angel. If the series had continued oz would have returned, (possibly as a major character)to help nina with her condition. Writing Angel season Six you mean. Cause if so then i know that The psyoctic vampire slayer was supposed to be back as well. Dana

  8. if u like buffy say. says:

    OMG seth green hot like it sad that he left like i was watching a special feture about him on season 4 DVD and he left cuz they couldn’t write for him any more danm writers
    (just kidding) but still but i liked how he came back in new moon rising

  9. MagicBone says:

    Me too but it made me sad because he was so heartbroken when he realized that Willow had given up on him and was totally into Tara now. But him and Willow were so cute together, like they both had red hair (most of the time) and were almost the same height and everything.

  10. Abby M. says:

    Yeah, Oz seemed so cuddly and perfect for Willow. Although, I liked Tara and Wil.

  11. MissKittyFantastico says:

    They looked more like brother and sister i think, but in a nice way.

    Oz & Willow were a very cute couple, especially the way he is so attentive of her all the time. I was quite gutted when they split but I’m also a huge fan of Willow & Tara.

  12. Abby M. says:

    I remember the moment I fell for Oz (you know what I mean): I’m pretty sure it was Becoming part 2. He and Cordelia where going to go back to the school or something while Xander stayed with Willow in the hospital and Oz kissed Willow’s hand before leaving. Such a simple, minor thing that made Oz the awesome character he was. He was so sweet!

  13. Mizzbella says:

    I thought he was cute :p But he has a new hairgolor in every new episode in seson 3 i think.

  14. Abby M. says:

    Yeah, something him and Anya have in common!

  15. Rosie says:

    I loved Oz, he was my favourite character ever, and no one can replace him. Although I really liked Willow/Tara as well, I kinda wish Oz had stayed, or come back and that he’d possibly not been with Willow. I remember not being able to watch the Initiative for ages because it was too depressing, watching the credits and not seeing Oz’s face. I love every quote from him, especialy the one mentioned by Jess about the “Exiting new obbsesion” I also like “We attack the Mayor with Hummus,” that was hallairious!
    I keep seeing all these site who tell it like Oz purposefully hurt Willow, it’s good to find a site who tell it properly!
    I really hated the initiative (The people, not the Ep) because of New Moon Rising, I remember watching it and being like “What the…wuh….don’t you hit him with electick tasers, dammit!”
    Puja: That looks really interesting, are you doing it on a website or something? I’d really like to read it, if that’s ok!

    Oz was such an awesome character - I got all teary when he left BtVS :(
    There are rumours that they might make a Spike TV movie but if it is about Spike’s past - Oz will most definatly not be in it. But if it’s based after the last Angel episode, perhaps Oz would be able to appear in it? But Seth Green is rather busy with Family Guy, Robot Chicken, etc, plus the rumour about the Spike TV movie might be false.
