soul

Anya went from a vengeance demon to a human twice in the show. The first time she turned human she was pining to go back to being a demon and bragging about all the deaths she caused to anyone who would listen. It was very different to Angel and Spike who were tortured in comparison. Why was...

Jenny Calendar deserved to live; which is why I accept her death. Jenny was such a great character. She was so lovable in season one and you find yourself conflicted with her choices in season two. You can tell she genuinely cared for Buffy (and Giles), but she also put everyone in danger by...

Can soulless beings in the Buffyverse love? This has been a question that fans have talked about recurringly. Canon gives us two different answers. Many of the intellectuals of the verse say, no, they can't. You have to have a soul to love. On the other hand, we have the soulless beings...

So I just re-watched 'beneath you' (season 7) (so SPOILERS obviously) and Spikes behaviour in that episode is really chaotic: First he comes to Buffy not 'looking to atone' but to help, but at the same time making it clear that he's sorry about the almost rape ('I don't have word for it...
