oh, yeah, i like this idea!! and you know, having SMG there would have probably meant that the writers would have had to make her choose one or neither of them, so this was the easiest way.
she wouldn't have chose she'd have b*tched them out for stalking her around Rome, She'd probably have said to them the equivalent of what Andrew did though (except in a loud pissed off voice).
LOL!! this really made me laugh!! spike never got the first version, so he'd be hearing it for the first time! hey, maybe angel would get bored and decide buffy isn't worth listening to the 'cookie dough' analogy again?
I read somewhere that they tried to get her, and she was going to do it, but then there was a schedule conflict or something, so she couldn't. I think that was around the time she was filming The Grudge?
That makes a lot of sense to me. Through the back story, they showed the history of The Immortal thwarting Angel and Spike's plans. So it makes sense that he might have seen them, knew what they were there for, and hustled Buffy out of there just to thumb his nose at them one more time.
