The scene where Spike is going to bite Willow FREAKS ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!
I know the scene after it is funny and all but when I first watched it I was all "NO! RUN WILLOW! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"
I hate it when people die because no one can hear their screams over music or something equally as stupid.
*shudder*

I know. I find it painful to watch. The commentary on the ep says they played it like an almost rape with him throwing her down on the bed and such.
Ech.

The impotence chat is one of the all time highlights though, and Willow wanting to be biteable  I love the commentary with Petrie pointing out that Spike is of course a hero  |

Well, it's not even debated on this site, is it? He's a Big Damn Hero.

It was great during season 4 seeing how the writers would deliberately keep him in scenes no matter how weird it was , Theres one ep where They say killing him would be weird or something , its like the writers are saying " look , you love him , and we love him , so lets not start questioning probabilities , ok ? " |

Yeah and they just had him in some episodes without much reason, the whole "time for James to earn his pay" shot. It shouldn't have worked, but it did.

Spike Watching. I did it too.
It was agony when he was only in one scene sometimes. Although he always owned the scenes he was in.

They did that in "Flooded" too with Buffy being all "Hello Spike", and then crushing out his cigarette on the porch.

Another few great moments in this ep is the Xander v Harmony fight. Slow motion goodness.
And I like it when Buffy and Riley are both outside saying that neither of them will leave until the other one does, then hearing a scream and both saying "See ya!" then running off in opposite directions.
I also noticed, as I'm proned to, that when SMG is dancing in the party scene she seems to be the only one who can dance. All the other extra's look hilariously bad, especially the guy she seems to be dancing with.
Also SMG's back is very nice.

When Spike has the computer screen on , are there crew names on the student list ? They love a bit of that sly hiding of things , and where did Spike learn his computer skills |
