- I know it's bad of me, but I was happy when the vampire was able to plunge the stake into Buffy's stomach. Buffy's superior attitude, as well as her puns, while patrolling does annoy me sometimes.
- See Buffy? You need someone to patrol with you from time to time, and who's better than Riley. He's trained and he's your boyfriend. Two birds with one stone.
- LOL, loved Riley's reaction to Buffy being defeated by one vampire. After all these years, one vampire is supposed to be a no big deal.
- Vampires are so underestimated this season. The gang is carelessly eating chips while patrolling. Such a help they are. Though they're really funny. However, poor Riley. Bet he'd have done a better job if he went alone.
- I love the sweet Buffy/Giles moments. There are plenty of them this season. Hate you S7! Hope S8 fixes that for me.
- Buffy, have you ever tried asking Spike to help nicely? Well, if she did, he'll start taunting her and then she'll have to hit him"¦ which was probably what had happened here before she shoved him against the wall. Lol
- I love the Spuffy dynamic in early S5 when Spike is still snarky around her and Buffy retorts (like always), they make one interesting and entertaining duo. I think this is why Spuffy is a superior ship to Bangel and Ruffy: You've got wit as well as attraction. Bangel was full of attraction but there's no wit. Ruffy has the sweet coupley jokes but no snark.
- I don't get why some fans believe that Spike told Buffy about his pathetic William days. Is it logical that right after he tells her that he was always "bad", he'd contradict himself by stating that he was a lousy poet, no one used to respect him and the woman he loved was ashamed of him? Doesn't make sense. Spike wants to impress Buffy. He won't tell her he used to be a loser. It's obvious it was just the writers telling us that Spike is lying: "He wasn't always bad, we'll show the audience what Spike really was like." The writers tell us how Spike was like, Spike doesn't tell Buffy how he was really like. At least not his weak moments.
- Wow"¦ look at how far Spike changed from poor, peaceful, insecure William. *hugs him*
- "They call him William the Bloody because of his bloody awful poetry." There's no way Spike would actually reveal that to Buffy. Confirms my earlier point.
- "I'd rather have a railroad spike through my head than listen to that awful stuff!" Foreshadow much. Doesn't Xander say "railroad spike" in S1 The Witch? The first time we hear the word "spike" in the series. Does that mean this man is Xander's great, great, great grandparent?
- Poor William. That's the worst rejection ever. I really wish the show made a bigger deal with Spike and Halfrek. I wonder if Cecily is already Halfrek at this point, like the comic book, it's not far-fetched. It actually makes more sense than if she became a "justice" demon later on.
- "Oh, yes! I mean, no. I mean... mother's expecting me." The biggest foreshadow to Lies My Parents Told Me.
- I still wish they didn't retcon who sired Spike, but I learned to cope.
- Angelus and Darla aren't pleased with William"¦ er, Spike. I wish they showed us what he did in London. I can see revenge and chaos but lower than Angelus and Darla's standards, which is why they're aggravated with Spike now.
- "No. A real kill. A good kill. It takes pure artistry. Without that, we're just animals." Here lies the difference between Angelus and Spike. Angelus has Liam's artistic nature, he likes playing with his victims, mind games and manipulation. Watch them suffer before he kills them. Spike is only in it for the kill and food. (Reminds me of a Spander fic "Sweet Revenge" where Spike is going to use Angelus' method to hurt Buffy through Xander, but doesn't follow through, because during the process of his manipulative plan, he grew to have feelings for Xander and hate himself for what he had done. I loved that. Makes Spike more human than Angelus.)
- Spike and Drusilla after he killed the Chinese slayer are too sexy for words!
- I loved, loved, loved the next scene with Angel. Poor vampire was just so scared with this newfound soul and the guilt and the sense of right and hoping that none of his ex-family would find out. Drusilla came close and Darla was suspecting, Spike was gloating about the fact that he killed a slayer when none of his elders did so he didn't pay much attention.
- "And I've had some sweet ones." Did Spike mean that he had sex with other women here or that he bit some other women? From Buffy's disgusted question, it looks like he had sex.
- Do you really believe that every slayer has a death wish? The release from the burden"¦ I don't think Nikki wanted to die, I mean she had a son. Same goes for Chinese girl who mentioned her mother before she died. Both slayers had ties to the world. Why is Buffy any different from them? Is it because Buffy shared her secret with her family and friends?
- Buffy's change of attitude after he ended his lesson, what do you think about it? Do you think it's because Spike touched a nerve? Or just merely scared her? Now when Spike wanted her to beat him up, it felt like he wanted to break the rising tension. But then he did the stupidest thing all dudes do when they think they got the girl all hot for them, he leans to kiss her.
- God, Buffy was so cruel. And repeating Cecily's line when Spike didn't even tell her about it stung so bad. Throwing the money at him like he was some man-bitch was another humiliating punch. I get that Buffy got scared and disgusted with Spike but her actions here were too cruel. She was the one who came for answers in the first place.
- I really sympathize with Harmony. She's Anya to Spike's Xander, the only difference is that Xander loves Anya while Spike doesn't love Harmony. And, well, Xander doesn't mistreat Anya like that. Lol
- So Spike was obsessed with Buffy since S2? Welcome to one of Joss' many retcons. Oh, well.
- Poor Buffy, I can't picture how it feels like to suspect that your mother has a tumor in her head. I just hope never feel it in my life.
- The last scene? Perfection!!! Does Buffy's attitude change toward Spike after it? It's been a long time since I watched S5. Can't wait to watch the next episode, at least for that. I wonder what Buffy thinks about Spike's actions here: Doesn't she wonder why he's acting nice to her?
