Wow. Ouch. True, though.

I like Spike.

I mean, I really do. I like Evil!Spike. I like Obsessed with Buffy!Spike, even. I really like crazy Spike.

I just didn't like Fandom!Spike. Mr. 'I'm good without a soul', Mr. 'Buffy doesn't love me, so she's a bitch'.

Or, worst of all, the whole 'Spuffy' thing. The name itself makes me shudder in distaste. Spuffy. It's so... I hate to say stupid, but, you know what? I really want to say stupid.

I liked what the writers did with the Spike/Buffy relationship. Pretty much everything, actually. I just hate what a lot of fandom has done with them. Most of fandom, from what it seemed.

Wow. I just.

I'm rewatching Season Five and you know what?

I love Glory. What a perfect bitch of a hellgod. I *heart* her. It's amazing.

Again, being away from TWoP does wonders for my disposition.

In addition:

I remember everyone wondering why the monk was in Sunnydale with a map.

This time around a huge flash of duh hit me.

He went to tell Buffy. They had to act quickly. And only after the spell, did they have the chance to send someone. Or he may have been the last. And come on, they sent it to the Slayer for protection. Doesn't mean that they knew who the Slayer was. That would explain the six months.

So. I'm reading the TWoP recap of Lessons.

And dude, it's hilarious. Sometimes in the way they want, sometimes in the 'laughing at them' way. Plus, aren't they supposed to watch these things several times? How can she be getting so many quotes wrong? Mostly from the beginning though, so maybe she started paying more attention later on in the show.

She walks past a basement access door. Xander's non-existent secret passageway?

Much giggling. A basement access door counts as a secret passage? Dude, that's the loosest definition ever.

Jeez, Buffy, if you're so darn concerned, enroll Dawn at another high school.

Did she miss the part in Buffy's house where Buffy explained exactly why she can't do that?

You know, I can actually identify with Fraser. I mean, I've done my share of pretending to be good. I pretty much gave up on it after a while, though I'm still generally aces at pretending to be happy.

I almost always love the hero of the piece. Fraser. Buffy. Clark. Dylan Hunt. Generally, the bad guys can be more showy and, I think, you can lose sight of how fascinating a well-done hero can be. They're not perfect, even though sometimes they may even think that they are. They're very my kind of human, with the cover-up. Oddly enough, Lex comes close to fitting into this category. It's only his seeming inevitiable future that locks him into villain status. At the moment, he's actually an anti-hero, in the grand tradition of Bogart.

I also love the funny guy. Xander. Harper. The ones that use humor to hide deep-deep pain.

And yes, I am babbling because it's ten 'til Buffy.

I love this show.

Shakespeare Sonnet LXXXIV

Who is it that says most? which can say more
Than this rich praise, that you alone are you?
In whose confine immured is the store
Which should example where your equal grew.
Lean penury within that pen doth dwell
That to his subject lends not some small glory;
But he that writes of you, if he can tell
That you are you, so dignifies his story,
Let him but copy what in you is writ,
Not making worse what nature made so clear,
And such a counterpart shall fame his wit,
Making his style admired every where.
You to your beauteous blessings add a curse,
Being fond on praise, which makes your praises worse.
