::sigh:: I don't hate Buffy... I love Buffy... she just made me very very angry most of last year, and we (and her) are seeing the results of those actions now.
I'm actually much calmer now. Though I'd love to know what she'd do/say if someone did confront her, championing Spike's multi-layered, multi-situational abuse instead of her single incident.
But I can't hate Buffy... because I cried with her at the end of Beneath You. ((--I'm pretty sure the title's 'Beneath You', not 'Me' now)) And I believie Spike and Buffy can be happy together, eventuallly. And they both deserve happiness (though Buffy deserves a good chewing-out first and to be knocked off her pedestal, and Spike deserves a certain amount of suffering for murders past))... but in the end, I want them to be happy.
Now that I've had a full day to absorb and discuss the ep, I'm actually very pleased with it. It had everything I wanted with Spike's return that I was sure they were gonna hold out on-- Buffy's finally realizing (in the last 5 minutes) some of her responsibility in Spike's situation, Spike wants to be good and is still in love with her, and Xander was shockingly mature when Spike appeared out of nowhere.
It has to have been good-- it completely upset me. I was clearly emotionally affected. ::sigh::: Joss is so wonderful...
..and I know this has gone on a bit too long, but one more thing: when are you gonna update Glimpses? I LOVE that fanfic.
