Hmm, of course staying on with Angel was a plot point from the series' point of view in that they wanted the character on the show. But I think that maybe Spike just didn't want to interfere in her new life - personally I think that it was very sensible for him to stay and try to work out who he was first... actually I have a mini essay dealing with this that maybe I should blow the dust off and post sometime...
It was just so obvious to me, especially in the last few eps.
Me too! The way she always turns to him first - if you look it's everywhere.
I think a major problem with a story as detailed as Buffy is that everyone has their own idea of how it should go (see fanfiction), so when they don't get that they're disappointed. And I keep as far away from nasty arguments as I can - I didn't know about (online) fandom until after Chosen, so I missed most of the viciousness thankfully.
