I don't know much about that. All I know was that Chosen was suppose to be a two hour episode and at the end Buffy was going to get one wish, and reveal Tara alive.

I'm on with Nika so far, I remember hearing that instead of the Shadow Men thing we were going to get one-wish-Buffy who would bring back Tara (who was supposed to come to Willow as the first but due to smooches with Brando, Amber wasn't available), Kennedy wasn't going to be what she became.

Chosen was origianlly going to be two hours and I heard or read somewhere that Xander was going to die (Joss says in the commentary that he couldn't kill any of the core four but I swear I heard this somewhere) protecting Dawn and I believe Anya was going to live but Emma didn't want to be locked into any future Buffy projects.

Nothing else that I can remember as being a big difference.

ahh but do we really know it's the first?

willow says later on they don't know what it was or weather it was telling the truth, if it was the first what was with the haunting and the glowing?

Thank the lord that Buffy didn't get a wish to reveal Tara alive because I think the smell of cheddar would've made me a little queezy. Would've been cool if they'd killed off Xander whilst protecting Dawn though, always thought he'd never have made it through that fight...neither would Dawn for that matter.
