So many interesting thoughts and observations here!
I liked the way Spike looked much better in S6. Me too. I don't know what it was about S7 Spike that put me off, but he was...different.
I liked the potential slayers, but I was confused by them
I thought they had potential but wasn't activated? So some of the girls may have known they were special, but not the how/why until they were recruited. i.e. a smaller dose of slayer-powers until active. (Just my theory!)
8. Even Xander didn't react much to Anya's death.
Yeah. It seemed senseless. I suspect if there was more time in the episode, we might have seen more of a reaction?
"She'll tell you. Someday she'll tell you" to Spike.
Oh! Having only watched this season once, I hadn't picked up on that before (and the fact that it happened). :)
Xander says about Buffy "She's my best friend", which startled me
I think it's tinged with love - I see Xander as having been in love with Buffy for a long time and being forced to change that to friendship. So that's what colours his perception. He still has her on a bit of a pedestal.
I want to know what Buffy's note to Spike said!!
Me too. It drove me nuts that we never found out. Grrrr.
Spike stands up and they look at each other (and? and?)
Apparently Joss left that DELIBERATELY open to interpretation, so you can believe whatever you want about what happened next. I like to think they had one last night together, just two people who loved each other.
I was confused by the potential slayers because I didn't think Buffy knew anything about her possible future destiny at all before she became the slayer. Apparently that was unusual, but I missed that part.
I was absolutely hanging out to hear Buffy tell Spike she loved him, after Cassie strongly implied that she would!
My guess is that Buffy and Spike had one more night like the last two, but I prefer to have these things spelled out for me!
