Should Oz stay after he shows up in S8? We have missed so much of his character. Who knows how much he has developed now? Should he stay with Buffy and Co. from now on?
I vote, Yes. ;D

Most definitely yes. There is no reason for him to leave unless:
A) He dies.
B) Or it serves the story for him to leave.
Seth Green isn't playing the character anymore, so they don't have to worry about schedules and what not. Just need Georges to draw him.

I have missed Oz. I always wished he had come back for an episode or two in seasons 5-7.

I would be very upset if Oz doesn't continue to be part of the gang after Retreat. He really needs to stay, will be great to see him with the gang again, especially Xander.

We haven't seen him for 4 seasons, and that's way too long for a character that was a regular and is not dead. He should stay, besides, it's another guy to change the guy/girl ratio from 5/2000 to 6/2000... all the difference.

Oz should leave and never come back again. Like ever. Let's have him around only during one issue.
(Wenxina, you know what I'm thinking right now, right?)

I'm not sure it's what Joss has in mind (I got the impression Oz would only be back for this 5 issue arc), but I certainly hope he sticks around longer. Just because he & Willow aren't together doesn't mean he can't help take down Twlight or even just hang out with Xander.

I'm going to create a group on Facebook dedicated to all the Oz-haters. How about that? (I'm in a teasing mood today)

Yes my next poll is going to be "do you think that poll about Oz staying around or not was a faulty poll?" with only a yes or no answer, no cop out!! This poll is not faulty by the way, this is just an inside joke.

I don't really see how he would contribute to the story after Retreat (I don't even see what he will contribute in Retreat), but if Joss finds him an use it would be nice for him to stay.

There's Oz bashers out there? But why he's so funny! I'll defend him I'd love it if Oz stayed on as part of the gang again. The gang could certainly use another male, I've been saying that (as has Xander haha) since season five. Plus his character is great and it'd be nice to see him interacting with the Scoobies. However, I doubt it. I think he'll be gone again after 'Retreat.'

I like Oz and am more than happy to have him around. But I think a lot of people are assuming he will just show up, join the gang, and it'll be like old times. I have a feeling things might be more complicated than that.

Oz is probably one of my least favourite Scoobies, but that's not so much because I don't like him, and more because the writers didn't do anything with him. He definitely wins the "Untapped Potential" award for Buffyverse characters, with Anya as close second (as brilliant as she was, I always felt they could have done more with her). I'm still fond of him. Seth Green is cool, and I always love werewolves. Perhaps if Joss had gotten to write the bigger Oz arc he intended for season four, I would feel stronger about him. I'm totally happy to see him in S8, and hopefully he'll be utilised better. My biggest concern is what kind of of wolf they'll have in the comics. Jeanty said Dark Horse are pushing for the larger "Phases" werewolf, which I much prefer to the smaller version that appeared later. What do you guys want?

From what I understand, most people hated "Gorilla" Wolf, but I always really liked his post- Phases design. It didn't look like a traditional werewolf, which I thought was pretty neat. I really don't think they should return to his first wolf in Retreat. That would just seem odd.
