She is screwing over the W/T fans as well and from the spoilers I am getting I very much doubt there will be a reset for Taras death.
Okay, for the record, I still consider these "spoilers" you're getting from your "very special sites" to be unproven. I'm not saying you're wrong or that you're lying. I'm just saying I'm skeptical, and will remain so until a proven source verifies something you've told us.
Your post here seems to be implying that Marti willl now make Tara's death permanent because she's ticked off at us for finding out about Tara's death to begin with. I strongly doubt that's the case. Aside from the fact that Joss Whedon is supposedly still in charge and even when I'm at my angriest at Marti I wouldn't accuse her of being that immature, the simple logistics involved in such a major plot change are probably too huge to make it possible. Back in Season 4, we saw how they had to scramble when Seth Green and Lindsay Crouse bailed unexpectedly. Do you really think they would put themselves through that again just because they were having a temper tantrum?
I think if Tara's return was always planned, it'll still go forward, and if it wasn't, then it still won't happen. Marti's fit of pique isn't going to change that one way or another.
That said, everyone has raised some very good points about Marti's attitude in this interview. Once again it looks like Buffy is turning the end of the season into a suicide run with regard to its fan base. She continues to insist people will be happy with the end of the season, which is her job, of course. But if she really believes that when she's trashing popular characters and relationships right and left, she's using more spin than James Baker during the Florida vote recount.
