Haha. "Smashed" is right! 🤣 Some fun twists and turns, too!

OMG your hair looks freaking amazing! Okay, off to watch the reaction now. :)

all the Buffy and Spike scenes make me so uncomfortable at this point (I've watched the show all the way through 11 times lol) that I honestly have to skip them most of the time, but I'm just glad to see someone who realizes that their relationship isn't a good thing, you'd be surprised at the amount of reactors who see that scene at the end and genuinely think it's true love. great reaction as always!

Claire Eyles

Also, love the pearls, love the whole vibe of your look today, Darcie. I have some vintage faux pearls from the 1930s and 40s, I really should try and wear them more often. Okay, returning to the reaction again. :)

Okay, writers who write nerd should learn how to actually nerd. That is not a limited edition Boba Fett, as it is neither a rocket firing prototype nor a Tri Logo version (it does look like the same 1979 one I have, and that isn't hugely rare or limited edition). Also, you took out of of its original packaging you morons; so it's no longer in mint condition (no, not even if you put it on a special stand and take really good care of it). My headcanon for the Trio now that they are so bad they manage to fail at being nerds.

The crumbling house metaphor is not exactly subtle, is it? Between Spike's and Buffy's dialogue in the last scenes and the home literally collapsing around them, from my first watch I felt the message is that this relationship is destructive on many levels. I've seen arguments that it is symbolic of emotional walls coming down or that the crumbling wall images are just reinfocing the feelings of intense passion between them. But the way they speak to each other in this episode does not support those arguments for me. That said, the way Spike looks at Buffy when they are actually in the act is incredibly touching and intense. Just as when he sees her coming down the stairs after returning from the dead in 6x3, I can't see his expression as anything other than love (er, okay.. obsessive love). Buffy however is not returning that gaze. The first time I watched Spike go after that girl in the alley I felt much like you, Darcie. I was bummed that he actually tried to bite the girl. However on rewatch I can see how much he had to psych himself up for the bite- it takes him quite a while to even get his vamp face on. He's struggling and I think it's more than that he's just out of practice. In his last interaction with Buffy before that scene, she calls him an "evil, disgusting thing". I think he may be thinking - well, if that's how she sees me, then that's what I'll be, what's the difference? I love that Spike goes for the Boba Fett figure at the Trio's lair. He knows he can't hurt any of them physically so he uses his laser-like emotional intuition to read the room and immediately find the perfect blackmail target. It makes me sad that Buffy didn't get to open up to Willow about Spike. It looks like she is about to, just before Amy enters the room. But it does reinforce Spike's assertion earlier in the episode that "Sooner or later, you'll realize I'm the only one here for you, pet".

You missed a clear setup you made for yourself in your final thoughts discussion: Darcie: Is this where Buffy stakes him? Missed: No, this is where Spike stakes her.

That’s Not Acting

I have watched several people view this episode for the first time and it's always met with cheers or gleeful shrieks while I watch it and find tears in my eyes pretty much every time. The amount of self-loathing, depression, fear and shame that is wafting off of Buffy kinda breaks my heart. It's nice to watch someone finally who seems to have a similar (or at least not celebratory) reaction to this moment. ...and thus begins Spike's overt impersonation of the stereotypical abusive-narcissist. I always walk away from this one with a bit of a tummy-ache.

Blurgh i hate Spike and Buffy's relationship here, they are so toxic for each other. Great ep though

Ray D

The Buffy/Spike “relationship” has gotten so toxic at this point. The way they have intertwined sex and violence is a major problem. The fact that punching and fighting turn into kissing and sex is brutal. Not healthy for anyone

StephanieB

Buffy in Season4/Something Blue: "Part of me believes that real love and passion have to go hand-in-hand with pain and fighting". Interesting that that episode also included her first kisses with Spike. It's also the episode where Buffy tells Spike, "Please make a move... I'm dying for a good slay"... yup. So that happened.

SpikesEcho

Spike does hesitate tho....he spent the entire time having to talk himself up to it (talk himself up to the monster Buffy just reduced him/berated him as)

On this rewatch I made a deeper connection between what Tara said last episode and Willow bringing Amy back this episode. When Willow said that she was using magic just because she wanted to help people, Tara responded "Maybe that's how it started but you're helping yourself now, fixing things to your liking." And this episode we see that Willow just kinda realized she already knew how to turn Amy back into a human. Who knows how long ago she could have done it if she had really been thinking about magic and using magic as a way to help people. Instead, it only dawns on her that she already knows how to help Amy when she doesn't have Tara around to make her feel better, maybe even specifically motivated by the fact that Amy was also a witch and could do spells with Willow if only Willow made her human again. Unfortunately that kinda turns the Amy de-ratting spell into a pretty selfish act on Willow's part and goes to show that she has not been using magic as a means to help others but only to help herself. We also don't see Willow having a conversation with Dawn about their break up, even though she's clearly invested and devastated. And then when her selfish use of magic on the computer is making her friends uncomfortable, she downplays the impact it had on her breakup and trivializes her friends feelings.
