I haven't seen much of Spike, I'm early in the second season, but it's very funny that they established that vampires without souls are irremediable demon and then went "This is Spike. He's killed two Slayers. He's The Worst. He kills everyone without discrimination. His two main character trait are being a little (evil) goofy and being utterly devoted to his girlfriend."

one thing that's so sexy about Spike's character is that he is so self-aware, about his feelings, motives and he's so unapologetic about it all, and as self-loathing as he can be at the same time, most of all he's so self-aware of what he's good at, knows Buffy comes back to him in season 6 because he knows he makes her feel good, knows he has nothing to be scared of when he realises Wood is trying to kill him despite his soul because he knows how strong he is and you can just so clearly see it even though he's never the one we know it from

BEST OF BTVS: Buffy & Joyce — Season Two

[layer-of-slayers]

Oh, random, not-episode-specific thought: with the exception of when she was keeping being the slayer a secret from her mom, why has Buffy never tried to pass off her fighting abilities as just normal training? Like some instances are more extreme and end up needing a proper explanation, but theres several points where she probably could've gotten away with an "oh I've taken self defence classes/[insert martial art(s) of choice] for years". Someone not in the know is worried about her going somewhere alone late? "Nah I'll be fine, ive trained in X I can protect myself". Like, would that just have not been common enough in the late 90s/early 2000s to use as an excuse?

AND WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD WAS AROUND JONATHAN AND EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WAS THE SUPERHERO SUPERSTAR BUT THESE TWO WERE STILL ALL OVER EACH OTHER????? HE LIT CASTED A SPELL SO EVERYONE ADORED HIM BUT ALL SPIKE COULD THINK AB WAS BUFFY??? TO TOUCH HER??? TO FIGHT HER?? CALL HER NICKNAMES???

"i'm buffy i have to do this" faith i feel ILL

[layer-of-slayers]

You did it. You killed me.

[layer-of-slayers]

im genuinely obsessed with s6 but as you were is top ten episodes of television

this episode has:

riley finn comes back with a big ass scar on his face and is like "buffy i need you for top secret cia fbi pta emergency" at her place of employment the buffyverse mcdonalds

he announces to buffy that he is married despite the fact that riley left no joke one season earlier which is about a year but go off king to a really cool woman who's just kind of there ngl she talks like a fuckboy which is awesome

at one point buffy to sam (rileys wife) is like "oh shit i gotta uh... look for stuff over there. vamps and whatnot" and sams like "aha cool" then buffy goes and fucks spike in his crypt and never returns to her

the criminal guy riley was looking for was spike all along, and the name they had for him was the doctor which is a crazy name for spike to fucking use and the episode is really weird about this plot twist. riley calls him doctor for an entire scene and he has a bunch of eggs in his basement/bedroom that riley and buffy gun down. all of spikes records and furniture is fucking destroyed and he does not give a fuck

i think in this one buffy and spike have sex in her backyard right as shes coming home from work to feed dawn which is just random detail

buffy has a convo with riley and idk this is alluded to inspire her to not be in the toxic situation with spikey anymore but one detail i have to mention is that before the big iconic "im using you scene" buffy changed into the prettiest lavender pretty outfit JUST to dump spike's ass. it's not the next day i dont think. spike is going through the rubble in his basement and buffy teleports in there wearing a cute outfit telling him its not working

in addition to that, we get buffy real naming spike

dawn says "i thought it would hurt less this time" to riley before he gets on the helicopter. dawn i feel like you didn't really fuck with riley like you didn't hate him ofc but relax he's just riley finn

everyone treats riley like he was the fonzie of buffy the vampire slayer or jesus christ. you guys did not like riley this much lmfao

i literally remember nothing else except iconic scene of riley walking in on buffy and spike together and spike says "she really did need some monster in her man" LMFAOOOO

oh and even though it's unclear if spike really was just holding them for a friend or whatever some theorize that it was to help buffy make money which i think makes the most sense lol but BESIDES that. buffy doesn't even give a fuck anyways. oh ok then what was this episode even???

anyways greatest episode of all time
