Birthday catch-up!

In my internetless state I've missed several birthdays. So I need to wish 
Happy Belated Birthday to 
ladyemorgaine, avrelia and stir_of_echoes!

I hope you all had fabulous days! 

*hugs*

Dirty Girls.

Wrote this entry earlier on and the PC ate it! *spork* Let's hope I'm luckier this time...

First of all I had a discussion with vague disclaimer in AOQ's LMPTM thread where I quite inadvertedly thought of something I found rather interesting (and probably very obvious):

Buffy quite possibly resents Giles sub-consciously for the way he leaves her with all the hard work and the responsibility, which might be why she pulls away from him and leans on Spike. Because Spike is her very own project, something that she's been involved in way before Giles came back with this giant new mission. She knows that she won't be able to save all the girls (a lot of fatalism in Buffy in this season), but she might be able to save Spike. Like Dawn in S5, Spike becomes a symbol of her triumph or failure. 

Now I didn't think I'd have a much to say about 'Dirty Girls', but when reading the responses to AOQ's post I began thinking about Caleb, that much hated one-dimensional character.  Why did ME go for such a stock villain? Or could there be more to him?
