After an episode or two I was getting quite bored by those speeches, all the time. That's why Andrew mocking Buffy's speech made me laugh so bad. But of course there were some speeches that were good, like (obviously) Spike to Buffy, Xander to Dawn. I think those were the best, because even though they were speeches, they were not really speeches. The "we have just become an army"-one was also good, but Buffy's speeches really make me feel like I'm in lecture. 😛
