ok, just went to see the B/A banner at the www.televisionwithoutpity.com forums.

My reaction?

Initial: Bleh. Grow up. Don't waste your money. Jane E. said the Buffy/Spike love story is her favorite plot arc, hah!

Belated, hidden: **fear builds deep in heart that somehow, somewhere, Joss will see this, and against all logic and rationality change his mind, and have Angel get back with Buffy, and it will be horrible for so many many reasons oh please make it stop!!!!**

Third: Bleh. Grow up. Spend your money on SaveFarscape! banners instead.

And what it's going to be remembered for is if she chose a blond vampire or a brunette. Bleh. It would be FINE if that was an integral part of the whole. But as the key to the series ENDING?

I've had a mini-revelation here, and I think I see what the problem is here. If there is an Angel crossover at the end (I'm unspoiled), that would lead to a situation of "choose the guy." If Angel is not present or part of the series finally, and things with Spike develop normally as they are, then it will be scene as "an integral part of the whole", because the main thing in Buffy's life would be saving the world. Spike's always taken a back seat to that, in everything we've seen before, and I think if even if Buffy did have a gushy moment saying "I wuv you Spwikey" and all that, it would not be the defining moment of Buffyverse. I've never realy worried that it would, because I've always thought that one reason Spike's relationship with Buffy worked is because it did not conflict with her destiny (like w/ Riley), or overrun it completely (like w/ Angel).
