Yep, a poll on Spike's role in AtS S5
Yes, this is prompted by the discussion in my post about Spike in AtS S5 plus a couple questions I've been meaning to ask for a while on the Buffy/Angel Chosen scene. Anyway, I'm not looking/expecting validation for my opinions here (I do get the idea that I'm in the minority). But this does seem to be a somewhat divisive issue among Spike-fans,

lol!
God no. She's young but not that immature. We all wanted to postpone adulthood but Buffy's been head of her household for three years and responsible for saving the world for eight. She's not cookie dough.
And she's responsible to herself for knowing what she wants if it shows up again after four seasons wanting her back.
Thanks for this. I've always wondered why people didn't like the cookie dough speech. It always appealed to me. It's not so much a statement as to her maturity, but more a simple acknowledgment that she doesn't need a guy in her life (like she realized in S5's I Was Made to Love You). She needs to find out herself first before getting into a relationship. And I actually rather like that message.
Also, like swsa says below, she was totally giving Angel the brush-off with that, and that just amuses me.
I suppose I was okay with it but the AtS writers didn't really respect who Spike was deep inside and often treated him like comic relief or a foil for Angel. Back on BtVS Spike was never just a means to the end of developing the main character but a meaningful individual in his own right.
You speak pretty words. I agree with you, though this obviously bothers me more than it bothers you. :)
