Thanks for linking me to this.....lots of interesting points!
The only possible disagreement (if that, I think it may be too strong a term) I might have with what they are saying is that I think Buffy was on her way to opening her heart to Spike in the end and an 8th season would have required ME to develop it.
The ONLY rub is The Girl In Question. I can understand (not like, mind you) Buffy's behavior, even towards Spike, when I put into perspective that she was 22, and the amount of loss and fear she was undergoing...not to mention the responsibilities heaped on her...the fate of the world and (thank you for deciding she needed this one, Giles) her friends various problems as well as being instant mom to a teen. The only way TGIQ is palatable to me is if I believe that Andrew lied and that Buffy was not aware of Spike being back from the dead. If she DID know and not only didn't contact him, but passed on word to "move on"...then she went from someone on the brink of mature love to a bitch royal. BtVS Buffy I can understand, TGIQ has to be wanked.
