shapinglightIntervention was next up. I'm going to watch one more and then I'm going to bed.
Still love this ep, though some of the intercutting between the serious stuff and the Spike/Buffybot hi-jinks are a little jarring.
Speaking of which, it's really sweet (in an icky way) that Spike wanted his robot programmed to be an awful lot more than just his sex slave (such a contrast in retrospect with what Warren does to Katrina in Dead Things). He wants her to find him irresistible, but most of all he wants her to be Buffy, even though that leads to some major inconveniences for him. Also, going down on a robot? Again, it's either really icky or very sweet, I'm really not sure which.
Xander looks a bit rough in this episode. Wonder if Nick was going through a bad patch?
I love the whole vision quest. It's beautifully done. And the First Slayer's "Death is your gift" sent shivers down my spine, coming as it did just after I'd watched Spike in FFL telling Buffy that some day she's going to want it (ie. death).
Of course, I love Spike being all heroic under torture and the final scene is probably the one that first made me think there could be some kind of genuine redemption for Spike. Yep. My Redemptionista allegiance stems from this scene. I really didn't think that Spike would ever be allowed to even go this far.
SMG as the Buffybot is adorable. Perky Buffy on steroids.
