elisi | Fool For Love Day

moscow_watcher had the brilliant idea of making today 'Fool For Love' day since it is 5 years since the episode first aired. Here's the pretty picture that she made and I looked up all my favourite reviews:

Billie's review
Peripheral Visions
Sanguine's review
and of course:
Spring Summer's fabulous analysis!
In case you've never read her Spikecentricity reviews, here's a tiny taste:

And of all the moments that grab me in this episode, this is the one that grabs me by the throat:

SPIKE: “ . . . since I agreed to your little proposition, we can do this my way. Wings.”
BUFFY: “What?”
SPIKE: “Spicy buffalo wings. Order me up a plate. I’m feelin’ peckish.”

Rewind. Watch again:

SPIKE: “ . . . since I agreed to your little proposition, we can do this my way. Wings.”

Freeze it right there. “Wings.”

Spike & Buffy are in The Bronze, sitting – of course - by the stairs. Bring me up, take me down. Spike is, so very resolutely, asking Buffy for wings. Wings. Wings! Of all things. She’s in a bit too much pain to handle his request, at the moment. But oh, Spike. Don’t you dare give up on that girl. She’ll get to feeling better, someday. And you never know when a wish might come true.[...]
