Whenever I come across a great essay, like yours, it always makes me re-think not only the episode, but also my feelings about the relationship, as well as Buffy and Spike.
Season 6 and 7 (to a lesser degree) were very hard to watch, b/c I could see the pain and hurt and abuse and I just wanted to make it better for both of them :) These essays help tremendously b/c they allow me to explore the different facets of the relationship and to see things in a new light.
I'm most fluffy - all 'ooo' and 'aaaahh' over Spuffy, but my heart really hurt for them in those seasons and I'm always happy to read a new interpretation, which helps to re-validate their relationship *for me*.
