I dont think so

It was a joy just watching you!

Absolutely agree with you. It was so unnecessary. Why couldn't Angel have done the same trials Spike did and get his soul permanently attached? Then he could have been with Buffy. Why was he never even given the chance? I also hate the prevalent idea of 'Spike's the best, so he should be with Buffy.' Spike actually is my favourite character, but I realize that is my personal taste and preference. And I'm quite aware Angel is still a great guy too! The question is which of them is right for Buffy - and which of them is BUFFY right for? Buffy was a much better girlfriend to Angel than she ever was to Spike, and while Spike's devotion to Buffy could be beautiful, it didn't start out that way. Angel began his story devoted to Buffy and that never changed. Even as Angelus, Buffy remained the centre of his universe, just in an evil way. Spike hated Buffy and wished she would just disappear, and then all of a sudden he's desperately in love with her? Really nonsensical. Where is the continuity editor? 😁 Also, I have a hard time with accepting the depth of 'devoted' relationships between people who have lightly rejected past relationships that were apparently equally devoted for no reason. Spike loved Dru. She'd always cheated and come back, and he'd always taken her back. (I wouldn't consider that a healthy relationship in most circumstances, but Drusilla was insane and not morally responsible for her actions. She needed Spike and he was understanding of that and faithful to her.) She came back to him, wanting to recover what they had, and he offers to kill her for Buffy? (That is the one scene where I cannot bear my Spike's behaviour or make ANY excuses for him.) How would this send any message to Buffy other than that even a hundred years of devotion from Spike cannot be trusted; he still could turn on you? And for Buffy herself, how could Spike ever really believe she loved him if she just 'forgot' Angel after the love they had shared? I can't see a relationship built on emotional if not ACTUAL infidelity resulting in fidelity between Buffy and Spike, if you get what I mean.

Me too. This is the kind of series that should have continued!

it's interesting that he went on to marry someone that looks like kate. She didn't come out as gay until after 2004 when the L word came out so maybe they dated for a bit before deciding to stay friends. They were on good terms up until 2015 it seems because Kate congratulated him on his marriage.

@@junjae. she doesn’t look like his wife

Rite, Spike was there for her til the end, Angel on the other hand was a no show, he didn’t protect Buffy, maybe bcos he was so busy with Cordellia 🤣 When Sarah M Gellar said she thinks Buffy would choose Angel bcos hes what? Her first love? It’s appaling! Most first love doesn’t last Sarah! 😆

I hate Riley. So. Damn. Much.

I hope it’s clear that my original comment was sarcasm

They pretty much confirmed she did

are u sure? i feel like in the finale he said no you don’t to let go of her and help aid in her letting go of him because he knew he had to die right then and there to save the world. in angel it was more of both angel and spike realizing that buffy had moved on. not fully moved on, but was moving forward in her life and it wasn’t about them anymore.

The Season 7 DVD extra commentary for the series finale has Joss talking about the direction he gave Sarah and James for that last scene: To Sarah: "Love him when you tell him you love him." To James: "Love her when you tell her she doesn't."

Even if she loved Spike in the end, it would only be as a 'consolation prize' since she couldn't be with Angel. If it wasn't for the curse Angel would never have left Buffy. They would have still been together when Spike came back to town and got chipped, and he would never have even had an opportunity to develop an interest in Buffy. Maybe he would have actually followed through on his initial interest in Willow, which I would have really liked, and we would have gotten to see more of him and Angel arguing and Buffy being totally exasperated by it. Fun times! 😁

Sure - go ahead!

@@sisterheresy Thank you so much! have a good day :D
