1. Warren's definitely. Spike's lack of a soul here sort of mitigates him here...that and on a completely shallow level. Buffy-bot = way more enjoyable than April. Also...as far as we know Buffy-bot doesn't feel pain when she ignores Spike.
2. I went with Willow. But my real choice is Giles (pronounced "Guy-els"). Also...I know he doesn't count as one of Buffy's friends at this point but the "Angel is lame. His hair grows straight up and he's bloody stupid" also gets an honorable mention. Because...um...truth.
3. No, he was too out of it to notice. I honestly can't see Spike giving the "Dawn is the Key" tidbit away willy-nilly like that to Warren (especially when one considers what he endures to keep it a secret from Glory).
4. Buffy-bot is totally skeevier. To me it's something of a midpoint between April-bot and sex-slave!Katrina.
5. I agree. It's a selfless act. Though, I can see where one could argue to the contrary. He was motivated to keep quiet because loved Buffy and didn't want to see her hurt/Dawn get (presumably at this point - since don't exactly know what Glory wants to do with the Key at this point) killed. The love was there, so he did it. He didn't go through just because it might raise him up a few notches in Buffy's book. When it's Buffy kissing him and not the Buffy-bot he is genuinely surprised. I can tell that he honestly did not expect such a favorable reaction to Buffy. Like Buffy said...what he did for her and Dawn was real. It's wasn't about getting in Buffy's good graces.
6. I said "No, there wasn't a romantic element" only because I don't think Spike registers in Buffy's mind on a romantic level yet. He definitely goes up leaps and bounds in her mind after this...but the romantic feelings aren't quite there yet.
7. Five stars (though...I sort of accidentally picked 4 ::flogs self::). Such a fun yet important episode. So many great moments and quips in this. I could go on quoting this episode for days...
(Wow...we're already into the final 4 of Season 5 next week?! Didn't we just start the S5 polls last month...because that's what it feels like...)

This makes me laugh so hard.
