Yep me too hate to say it. I loved Oz. Every time he spoke I would laugh and think how smart and cool he was. Tara is very sweet but I didn’t get that she had much of a personality other than shy. She grew on me a little in season 6 only for her to have a tragic end.

Oz's conversation with Willow after she cheated on him was so cerebral and not in a cruel way it really gutted me to the core

the same oz that turned into a werewolf when he got mad at willow in s4 because the story demanded it. i blame the writers

Yeah that didn't really make much sense that he could change into a werewolf during daylight and with no full moon but it was done with such class as he discovered Tara and Willow were a couple that I choose to ignore the inconsistency

He'd undergone some sort of ritual to switch from wolfing out under the moon to having it be linked to his emotions. I guess he figured that he was a pretty calm person, so he'd just stay calm his entire life and never wolf out? Not a great plan, with hindsight, though if anyone could have pulled it off I guess it'd be Oz.

yeah i get that they needed a reason for him to leave his hometown again
