I have squeed several times during After the Fall. I even squeed during the Faith storyline.
Of course, I consider the comics canon so that might be the difference. I'm also a *lot* more accepting of the comics format in general since I've been a comic book reader since I was 5 (which was almost 36 years ago) and I've always been a lot more accepting of the story directions Joss choses to take.
That's why I was able to go from a Bangel to a Spuffy when Joss headed in that direction.
Heck. I've even found the current Buffy ship to be funny, exactly as intended, even though I went into it with a hairy eyeball.
So yeah. I'm squeeing now (as much as anyone witha daughter with strep throat can squee) because Spike is by far my favorite character even though I simply adore them all (well at least all of the television show characters. Spider is leaving me cold and Satsu won't break my heart if she gets hurt.).
Anyway, what I originally wanted to say before I started to ramble is thanks for the news! Squee!
