Mine's not that great either -- you'd think I thought higher of it, though, as much as I've shown it here on the board. Just means there's more to spank.

Sorry I'm a little late posting this, but I just now took the time to read Spring's review, and yet again it is terrific. This isn't exactly a shock, of course; there is no such thing as an average Spring review.
There is so much depth to be found in every BTVS episode if one chooses to look. Spring deserves a world of credit for doing a great deal of the looking for us while we're just watching the story.
I like A New Man a lot, mainly because Giles was overdue at the time for an episode that addressed his issues with aging and feeling disconnected from those he cares about. Spike--who was as disconnected from the world as one could be since he'd so recently been chipped--is the perfect character to help out. The payment negotiation was priceless also.
This is also the episode which telegraphed Riley's inevitable issues with Buffy's power, and her justifiable discomfort with showing him everything she has. If she couldn't share that with him, there was no way she could trust him on the level that she required to have an intimate relationship. As nice a guy as Riley was, it was clear that eventually he would have a hard time dealing. Spring says as much, of course; but it's one part of the episode that really sticks out to me.
On a personal level, the saddest part of watching this particular episode is the terrific comic chemistry of Nick and James. Why would I be sad about that, you ask?
In Season 7 I can't recall much more than a sentence or two between them when Buffy moved Spike in with Xander. Outside of that....nada. What a terrible waste of talent.
Having said that, Spring has taught me yet another valuable lesson. Thank you.

That really bites, because there are some really choice ones in there. Patti and I are both raiding the same collection of wallpapers from darklabrynth.com/vamped/. You're invited to check them out there. I really don't understand how it is that we can see them (even the ones the other posted), but no one else can. That really does bite.
