Well said, Baug. I want to think about that for a bit.

Hi! Great observation. I have to look for that. I never noticed this. I do think you're right - it is deliberate placement. Yes, interesting comparison with the Angel idealization. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you are right - Buffy idealizes Riley and her relationship with Riley, enjoying the solidness, the "normalness" (relatively), the dependabilty, while trying to delude herself into believing the passion is there, or can be there, or maybe isn't that important. It's the opposite with Angel - the passion is really there, and she tries to force-fit "normalness." Yes, it's pretty bewlidering still for him, but this is definitely what a mentor might call a "teaching moment,' for Spike. Thanks for the great thinky thoughts, baunger.
