4. Yeah. Honestly, I get stuck, myself, on this question. In concept, it's fairly close. In real life, it'd be like someone making a Real Doll of some unrequited love and using it for sex. But...wow, that still seems skeevier to me. Maybe it's the level of effort involved? I dunno.
5. Indeed. He was also convinced that there was no way to Buffy anymore - thanks to Giles' threat to him in IWMTLY. The bot was kinda a consolation to him. He had no reason to think anyone would care.
1. Warren. They're both incredibly creepy, but at least Spike treats the Buffybot more like a person than a sex toy. The whole thing with April is just overflowing with Warren's misogyny... which actually grosses me out more than the sexbot, lol.
2. Anya, although that's more because of Anya's delighted "Thank you for asking!" when the Buffybot mentions her money.
3. No. I cannot believe Spike would be so dumb as to program a robot with information Buffy wants to remain secret.
1. Both creepy. But Warren is a bit creepier because he programmed April to feel pain when she wasn't with him, and all sorts of other crap. We could say that soulless Spike doesn't know any better, but it's still creepy.
3. This always bothers me. I can't imagine Spike programming it in, or even revealing that information to the Buffy bot, so I like the idea that it was an inconsistency that he didn't notice. Good idea.
5. Definitely selfless. He was willing to die, there is no reward.
6. Romantic. No reason for a kiss if there wasn't some romantic feeling in her.
7. Five. Love this episode, as creepy as some of it is, the Buffybot is adorable, Spike is heroic and I find the whole ending very moving.

3. Agreed. Spike can be...not the brightest sometimes, but that would be above and beyond.
