I watched the episode last night, because It was Christmas and the special christmas on tv sucks.
And I love the episode it's one of my favourite, ok it's not as great as OMWF, The Body, but it's still great.
I don't think the episode was about the relationship between Buffy and Angel, but about feeling alone in that day, and finally celebrating it with the ones you love.
But the most important part is the snow, and not because it lead us to a very beautiful and romantic scene but because it meant that Angel was here for a reason and for a good one.
He was going to kill himself, thinking that he was doomed, that he would become Angelus again, and it started snowing to show him that he had a destiny on earth, they gave him reason to go on, a real reason. Because he can't stay just for Buffy because their love is cursed.
And by the way, why this rivalry between Bangel and Spuff? Am I the only one who likes both?
I'm Bangel but I love Spuffy, and the 6 is one of my fav seasons.
