So here's the thing
I understand that the whole Buffy/Spike sex scene in "Smashed" is problematic. I GET THAT. But I feel like if it wasn't supposed to be at least SOMEWHAT appealing, they might've used TOTALLY DIFFERENT music. Because that little bit in 'Smashed' is still one of my favorite pieces of music on the show (and replicates really well the same sound of the Bush song from "Dead Things," which I ALSO really love). It's got a dark romanticism to it that is really kind of apt for what's going on there.
Also their faces are both kind of amazing in the sex part of the scene.
IDK, IDK, I can't help it, I still ship them! I like the general trajectory of their relationship, even if some of the specifics make me frown. And I hate feeling like I should be ashamed of liking their relationship because of all the many thousands of pages of meta that have been written about it.
(Though at least the beginning of "Wrecked" where they're in the house makes me SO UNCOMFORTABLE because Buffy is really unhappy and Spike is really...Spike. Heh.)
