Andrew C sent me over this little snippet from Jeantry's Q&A. He clearly is a much bigger person than me as he didn't post it incase it added fuel to the fire. I, however, like my fire extra flamey😀
This isn't a conformation of a possible reconcilliation or anything evern close to that but it does confim what Buffy's feelings towards Angel and Spike are.
She cares about them both but ultimately it is Angel who has her heart.🙂
Bangels! Do the dance of epic Win!!!:cheering:

"Georges: I think it's obvious what Joss was trying to convey with that panel! When he wrote the script he said "Georges, this is probably the most graphic thing I've ever written so it'll be pretty detailed..." Not so much with Buffy Angel and Spike, but with all that was going on in the background! He wanted Buffy more toward Angel because she feels more for him, but in any event it was obvious the two of these guys were in her head!"

(Something is wrong with either my computer or the board, because I was not able to add a comment to the reputation point that I tried to give Miss K above, so, with your indulgence, I will add my comment here)
<Don't dance too close to the fire, Darlin', that straw you're grasping might catch on fire>

For the record, and in case there has ever been any confusion in the matter, let me state here and now that I fully agree with Mr Georges' statement. I have never doubted for an instant that Buffy "feels more" for Angel than she does for Spike and I have never claimed otherwise. (Surprised, Miss K?) I also completely understand what the statement implies, and would just like to caution all of the Bangel who may read this to keep the events of "Once More With Feeling" in mind. Dancing can sometimes be detrimental to your health and well being. While I would never accuse Miss K of being a Demon, Dancing or otherwise I would like to caution her against making the mistake that Dawn made in that episode, and summoning one accidentally.
I agree with Mr Georges' statement because I understand exactly what it means, and am not so desperate as to pin any false hopes on it. I understand the statement, because I FEEL MORE FOR MY FIRST LOVE THAN I DO FOR MY WIFE, Most happily married people, if they are completely honest with themselves, would make the same statement. First loves are wonderful, magical things, and they should be treasured for all of your life. What most young people have yet to learn is that having "feelings" for, or even loving someone, is a totally different thing than being "in love" with that person.
First loves are very rarely last loves, except for cases like Romeo and Juliet (and we all know just how well that one ended up) Ask anyone over the age of 40, and they will most surely agree. Most people over the course of their lives will, if they are lucky, love more than one person. That's called being human.
Buffy "feels more" for Angel simply because she has known him longer, and they have shared more experiences, both good and bad. She "feels more" for Spike that she will for the next, and I am certain that WILL BE a "next," person she happens to love, or even the person that she eventually spends the rest of her life with. and, for the record, I don't believe that Buffy will, in the end, share that little cottage and its white picket fence with anyone that she has met yet. It will be Buffy's LAST love that gets the cookies, folks, not her first love.
