BtVS 7.01-7.04
7.01 "Lessons":
• Istanbul? Um, okay. More like Alias than BtVS.
• "Instead you got all Dumbledore on me." Oh, show! *sniffle*
• Hot new Principal Wood? RAWR! (Please don't be evil! Or get eaten. Unless you're evil. Because you're pretty and I like you.)
• Speaking of hot, how long do I have to wait for some Spike?
• "I'm the one who dates dead guys...but they were hotties." INDEED.
• And the answer is not long - here's Spike! Laughing crazily. Okay. Sort of completely mad then? He tried to cut out his heart? His soul? Too busy with the self-mutilation to keep his roots bleached, at any rate. He was always so vainly scrupulous about his grooming when he was soulless. *loves*
• As I mentioned in the comments of my previous BtVS post, I decided by the end of S6 that both Angel and Spike could do better than Buffy. Morwen Sue, for example.
• Spike had a speech! Which he's too bugfuck to make. *squishes him* I STILL LOVE SPIKE NO MATTER WHAT. MADNESS, BAD HAIR, AND ALL.
• DRU! No, more Dru! I adore her.
• It's about power. And cell phones.
Finally, cell phones!
7.02 "Beneath You":
• More Alias.
• Spike. (And rats. NOM NOM NOM.) JM's cheekbones: terribly fascinating. *nods*
• Principal Wood: DREAMY.
• Yes, go find Spike, Buffy. I think he has some news for you of the extremely screwed-up grand-romantic-gesture nature. If you were thinking there was no way Spike could top promising to kill Drusilla to prove his love or trying to rape you to make you admit yours, you were VERY WRONG.
• Hi, Spike! Roots bleached, hair trimmed, saneish for the moment. Blue's a good color on you, although you might want to get one size larger next time. Sigh!
• XANDER, SHUT UP. YOU DON'T OWN BUFFY. SHE CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF AND MAKE HER OWN DECISIONS ABOUT SPIKE.
• Oh, Spike, how I love you. Buffy doesn't know what to make of you now, which fills me with unholy glee! And you're not telling.
• Is there anyone here who hasn't slept together? PRECIOUS FEW.
• Anya can SEE SPIKE'S SOUL.
• FIRST CONTACT. BALCONY! *flails*
• I'm glad to see he hasn't lost his love of violence. He's capable of being sorry for inadvertently going *stabbity* on the ex now, and not just because it hurts his head.
• THEY PUT THE SPARK IN ME, AND NOW ALL IT DOES IS BURN.
• ANGEL SHOULD HAVE WARNED HIM.
• "Why does a man do what he mustn't? To be hers. To be the kind of man who would never...to be a kind of man. And she shall look on him with forgiveness. And everybody will forgive and love. And he will be loved. Can we rest now? Buffy, can we rest?" SPIKE. OH, SPIKE. *flings self into his arms since Buffy won't*
• MADE HER CRY. MADE ME CRY.
*weeps*
7.03 "Same Time, Same Place":
• Willow and Spike, stop making me want to ship you again despite everything (such as the gay and the crazy and the obsessive love for Buffy).
• Spike might want to consider having a good wash, not just peroxiding his head, if Buffy can follow him by his stench.
• Posable Dawn! Please leave her paralyzed and unable to speak. No? Damn. At least she made a nice *thunk* when she fell off the sofa at the end.
7.04 "Help":
• I don't suppose that Buffy could be any more useless than the guidance counselors at my high school.
• "Poems, always a sign of pretentious inner turmoil." Heh. (Good thing I burned all the evidence after high school.) If William had known enough to keep his crap poetry to himself, though, we'd never have had Spike.
• We're halfway through the episode, and still no Spike to relieve the boredom.
• Finally, some Spike. Catatonic Spike, but Spike.
• Buffy, asking if anything evil was down there was a formal engraved invitation for Spike to SHARE HIS PAIN, so don't be surprised that he's doing it. "I hurt you, Buffy, and I will pay." He actually managed a "you" there instead of "the girl."
• I think Buffy has bigger fish to fry than sitting in the basement with you while you try to silence the voices in your head, Spike. Especially if you still aren't washing regularly.
• Spike's not going to let anyone hurt the girl.
• "She'll tell you. Someday, she'll tell you." *pricks up ears despite mostly shipping Spike/Morwen Sue at this point*
OH, MANPAIN, HOW I LOVE YOU. YOU NEVER FAIL ME.
