“Come on, Spike! This is part of what I’m talking about. You start with the flirty, then move right to the incomprehensible British putdowns. It’s confusing, and I still don’t know what a sket is.”
Bwahaa! It's okay, Buffy. I don't know either, but I sure didn't let it keep me from thoroughly enjoying this.
I actually clapped my hands and did a happy squee at my desk this afternoon when I saw that it was your posting day. I love how funny this is and yet how utterly plausible that Spike and Buffy are able to forge some kind of thoughtful connection here--no mean feat for season 4. I also really like that poor bewitched/beleaguered Buffy is finally able to get some of the mothering that's so sorely lacking in this season. And good lord, it's nice to see someone acknowledge that the horny poltergeist sex spell might not necessarily have been a Mardi Gras for poor Buffy.
