11 Questions About Oz

[willowsummers]

1. Do you like Oz when he first appeared on Buffy or when he returned unwolfy?
I liked him better before. He didn't seem much different when he came back except that his wolf

transformation took on a much worse tone later on.

2. Do you think he's sexy?
Yes, in a totally cool, unmacho way.

3. Did you like him with Willow or Veruca?
Definitely with Willow. I LOVED their relationship.

4. What is your favorite Oz moment?
When he tells her about his fantasies of Willow-kissage , when he's attracted to Willow in the eskimo

suit and the story about the animal cookies. The animal cookie scene is classic Oz coolness.

5. What is your least favorite Oz moment?
When he cheats on Willow with Veruca and when he leaves. I understand why he did both actually,

particularly the latter, but I still don't like them.

6. What is your favorite episode featuring Oz?
What's My Line Part 2

7. What is your least favorite episode featuring Oz?
Wild At Heart.

8. What do you think about Oz cheating on Willow?
I hate it, but it made sense in a way. I think it bothered him more than it even did Willow and that's

why he left. It was yet another uncontrollable side of himself and one that hurt Willow.

9. What do you think it means that he goes wolfy only about Willow when he comes back?
Because it becomes something he can control, but when faced with something that stirs his emotions as

much as Willow does, it makes it much harder to control- apparently impossible.

10. Do you think there is a symbolism behind Oz's wolfiness?
Oz has a careful image, a normally gentle and cool image but no one is truly completely like that. I think the wolf represents the side of him he doesn't normally want to show.

11. How would you describe Oz?
COOL, sweet, intelligent, artistic, self-sufficient, confident, and totally able to love.

[Randi Giles]

1. Do you like Oz when he first appeared on Buffy or when he returned unwolfy?
Yes,Yes I liked him when he first came on cause he was so sweet for Willow. And I loved it when he came back.

2. Do you think he's sexy?
Yes

New Moon Rising.

7. What is your least favorite episode featuring Oz?
Wild At Heart

8. What do you think about Oz cheating on Willow?
I just saw this episode the other day. And I still don't get why he had to have sex with that skank. It just wasn't right.

9. What do you think it means that he goes wolfy only about Willow when he comes back?
Really I think that happen cause he wasn't expecting her to be with Tara. Which brought upon some very emotional jealousy feelings that he hadn't learned to control yet. I don't think he was expecting to feel that way.

10. Do you think there is a symbolism behind Oz's wolfiness?
I'll have to agree with the above. Oz is usaually calm and the wolf is his extreme side.

11. How would you describe Oz?
Cool adorable sweet calm loving

[buffyfan21]

1. Do you like Oz when he first appeared on Buffy or when he returned unwolfy?
When he first appeared.

2. Do you think he's sexy?
I think he's a cool, sweet, funny guy. Definitely the kind of guy I would have gone for in high school.

3. Did you like him with Willow or Veruca?
Definitely Willow! Don't even get me started on Veruca!

4. What is your favorite Oz moment?
the animal crackers moment, Willow Eskimo moment, Willow-kissage, pez witch, the moment they share at the end of New Moon Rising. Plus, there have been many great moments between Oz and Willow in the Retreat arc.


5. What is your least favorite Oz moment?
Sleeping with/killing Veruca, leaving Willow, attacking Tara

6. What is your favorite episode featuring Oz?
Phases. Retreat arc (S8 comics).

7. What is your least favorite episode featuring Oz?
Wild At Heart.

8. What do you think about Oz cheating on Willow?
It was horrible! Something I never thought Oz would be capable of! It really surprised me when he cheated on Willow like that! Sure, you could say that it was "animal attraction," but that's no excuse for putting Willow through that kind of pain!

9. What do you think it means that he goes wolfy only about Willow when he comes back?
I think Willow is the one person in Oz's life who is able to evoke such powerful emotion in him. When he came back, he expected for things to return to what they once were. He was completely unprepared for Willow to have someone new in her life. Plus, the fact that this someone new was a female must have really put him off guard, since before he left he had never known Willow to have any interest in women. The whole thing must have been shocking, to say the least. When he returned to Sunnydale, he had only recently learned to control his wolfy nature by keeping his emotions in check, etc., as such, being confronted with such powerful emotions threw him into orbit.

10. Do you think there is a symbolism behind Oz's wolfiness?
Definitely. As others have said, I think Oz's wolf side represents the part of his nature that he tries to keep hidden deep within himself, the part that you would never expect. Oz's wolfiness is definitely the dark part of himself. It's very Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hide.

11. How would you describe Oz?
Mellow, monosyllabic, funny.

[The Girl In Question]

Hm...not especially, but he's not unsexy.

hold his baby

, when he tells Willow he's loved exactly one person, him punching Xander in the face and then immediately helping him up (makes me giggle ;D), when he tells Buffy no one deserves mime.


5. What is your least favorite Oz moment?
When he cheats on Veruca (the second time. The first time I don't think was his fault, but the second time was defiitely his). When his jealousy turns him back into a werewolf.

Wild At Heart.

Hated it, especially because he normally would never have done something like that, it was all because of the wolf.

I didn't like it because he attacked Tara. But I understood that for a guy like that who doesn't show his emotions very often, that it really showed how much he loved Willow., that she's the only one that could make him lose his cool.Also, I understand that he was upset that she was no longer available when he came back, but what did he expect?

Yes, it shows the bad side of people and how hard it is to control unwanted thoughts.

[Skytteflickan88]

1. Do you like Oz when he first appeared on Buffy or when he returned unwolfy?
I think thw wolf part added to his character, but I liked him both before and after.

2. Do you think he's sexy?
More cute and cool.

3. Did you like him with Willow or Veruca?
Willow. The Veruca thing was horrible.

Him sleeping with Veruca.

6. What is your favorite episode featuring Oz?
Fear Itself.

7. What is your least favorite episode featuring Oz?
Wild at heart.

8. What do you think about Oz cheating on Willow?
I think it was something he could hardly control. In case he had never admitted to it, and maybe even continued it, it would have been horrible, but now I just think it's sad.

9. What do you think it means that he goes wolfy only about Willow when he comes back?
He went wolfy because he went angry or scared. Not sure it had to do with Willow. It's probably a bit of both, since he feels so strongly about Willow.

10. Do you think there is a symbolism behind Oz's wolfiness?
There probably is. We all have darkness inside, and even tough we try to keep it inside, sometimes it burts out.

11. How would you describe Oz?
A calm levelheaded man who has to constantly stay in control, so he doesn't rip people's throat out. He's also quite funny.

[iigreenii]

1. Do you like Oz when he first appeared on Buffy or when he returned unwolfy?
To me he was the same Oz. I loved him when he first appeared and when he returned.

2. Do you think he's sexy?
I think he's more cute/adorable than he is sexy.

3. Did you like him with Willow or Veruca?
Willow hands down!

4. What is your favorite Oz moment?
"A werewolf in love" is my favorite moment.

5. What is your least favorite Oz moment?
I hated that he slept with Veruca.

6. What is your favorite episode featuring Oz?
Phases

7. What is your least favorite episode featuring Oz?
Wild At Heart

8. What do you think about Oz cheating on Willow?
I didn't like it. I guess they needed a reason to write Oz out since Seth was leaving Buffy. Oz doesn't seem like the cheating type.

9. What do you think it means that he goes wolfy only about Willow when he comes back?
The wolfy part of him is obviously triggered by high emotions. Oz is a pretty calm guy and the only time he gets upset is when it concerns Willow. Love does that to you.

10. Do you think there is a symbolism behind Oz's wolfiness?
Don't know

11. How would you describe Oz?
A cool, calm and mellow guy.
