I’ll begin my nominating Alison Cameron on House. In the latest episode, it’s revealed that she has kept her dead husband’s sperm on ice for years. She married her husband–nay, MET him–after he was diagnosed with cancer, so the Grim Reaper was snickering at them throughout their marriage; and she revealed the semen-on-ice thing to her current fiance, whose sperm she would also like to keep frozen in the event he dies or has his nuts sliced off by an adamantine sickle or something. She also plans to keep the dead man’s semen.
Clearly, Cameron, as cute and sympathetic as she is, is a freaking loon, just a high-functioning one. But there must be others. Anybody wanna name some?
Do you mean seeing if anyone would, or seeing if Skald would? Just curious. But, anyway, my position isn’t that Willow is nuts; it’s that she was evil way before Tara died. At least as early as Season 4.
I always suspected Georgette* on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, myself, but have nothing to back it up. The toughest she got on camera was telling Ted to “move it or lose it”.
On the other hand, you KNEW that Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White) was psycho.
Didn’t it actually happen repeatedly? IIRC, Willow was totally manipulating Tara’s mind to make her forget lots of stuff. It was highly uncool and creepy.
We see Willow do it exactly once. But I always took it that she had done it more than once. She and Tara were arguing (about Willow’s casual and calluse use of magic on others) and about to go to bed, clearly without any pre-slumber nookie. When Tara left the room for a moment, Willow goes to the dresser, where she has a specific herb in a quickly-accessible space, and without doing any research or reference wipes Tara’s memory of the disagreement, whereupon they cuddle and presumably outrage Don Wildmon. The next morning, Tara happens to find the discarded herb and is suspicious without quite knowing why. She has to go to the Magic Shop to investigate the herb in question; despite Willow and her having a nice-sized personal library, as if Willow has removed potential references. When she looks up the herb, the VERY FIRST use mentioned is memory-wiping.
That wasn’t the first time Willow had done that. I’m not even sure it was the first time she’d been caught. I think it was the first time she’d been caught and didn’t happen to have more herb immediately at hand.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter could be quite charming when he wanted to be. But when he didn’t… brrrrr.
Ben’s girlfriend on Reaper is a sweet person and a knockout brunette with the sexiest voice ever, when she’s in human form. As a demon, she likes bathing in blood and eating large animals while they’re still alive.
Marge Simpson. Usually the most normal Simpson, you can occasionally see cracks in her sanity, such as in ‘Fear Of Flying’, and the time she mentioned an uncle who went nuts, then asks for no one to mention it.
Kitty Forman from That 70s Show usually seems like the sweetest, perfect mom in the world, except that she’s an alcoholic who just bottles up her anger until she flies off the handle.
Okay then. I haven’t seen it since the original run. (I only have the DVDs through season 4.) I guess I interpreted that scene the same way you did, and my memory created more evidence of it.
My stepdaughter just discovered it and we watched the whole series fairly recently. Watched that was it was clear that Willow’s offense in the above-referenced episode was not the first.
