I haven't really got Spike out of my head after the S7 readthrough I played him in, and so I still identify pretty strongly with him during s7[0]. I'm never quite sure if it's Buffy saying good-bye, Spike trying to make it easier for Buffy by being flippant, or... And I have only incoherent thoughts about the Buffy-Spike relationship and how it compares to Buffy-Angel.

[there's a whole other rant about how one particular Angel5 episode is So Wrong here, but spoilers]
[0] The church scene early in s7 breaks me in all sort of amusing ways
