Spike is someone obsessed with love, so he can recognize the symptoms of lovesickness. He literally described himself as "love's b*tch". So it makes sense he notices romantic stuff before others do.

[@spikesecho724]

....Spike went out of his way to console Willow/boost her confidence in the initiative. Once dinner was off the table for him. That's not nothing. A more evil thing to do would have been to see her insecurities and dig at them more, not relieve her of them

Welcome to the ship of Spike and Buffy aka Spuffy. My favourite joke this episode is Amy going from rat to human back to rat so quickly that Willow and Buffy never even noticed.

[@BRCBrick]

And thus, the Spike+Buffy shipping began

[@jessicaross7288]

"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" is not about gifts. It's about items that are part of the bride's attire and accessories. So the bride might wear a new dress, a veil that's been passed down through her family, a best-friend's earrings, and carry blue flowers.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

This. It’s always so odd to see a group of people not be familiar with something that I’ve known from like, age 4. This group does that a lot, lol. Almost every video, one of them says something that makes me think, ‘how does someone not know this, let alone 6 or 7 people??’ 🤣

The reason it didn't work is actually pretty interesting. The incantation of the spell involved her passions being done. So far, she's not passionate about healing, she's avoiding the pain not working through it. It's interesting that she never said anything about Oz directly. If she had we might have been having a very different episode.

[@AnaCVazquez]

Anya did the penis warts spell when she was human before becoming a vengeance demon. Its one of spells that got her the gig.

Love love love this episode. Season 4 is so consistently funny. Some of the best single episodes of the entire show (NEXT WEEK!).

Someone needs to tell Pat the Spurs first Championship was 99 they beat the Knicks. Btw Spike is very perceptive once you get into his backstory you'll see why.

Such a quintessential Buffy episode, a big fan favorite, love this one ❤️❤️

[@killianlpc]

Even though S4 wasn't one of my favourites overall, it did contain some brilliant stand out episodes of which Something Blue was one. The comedy here is achingly funny, and this episode contains so much foreshadowing for later episodes, you can see in S4 Willow becoming more reliant of magic each time she has a crisis, and that the potential Spuffy relationship is hinted at, but in a comedic way. Hilariously funny when Giles and Buffy use the words impotent and flaccid referring to Spike in the bath. Interesting too that Spike is so much more perceptive of Willow's pain over Oz. Overall a great episode to look back on.

[@amybowens1503]

If you could only see how happy it made me when a few of you got excited about Passions. I love both shows. I watched in real time when Passions also referenced Buffy. ❤

So much foreshadowing in this episode and one of Buffy's funny and next episode is one of the greatest episodes of genre TV ever. This episode and episode 8 of Angel S1 for a lot of Buffy fandom really doesn't help Riley.

Such a hilarious episode. But the one after this is even better and totally different from everything else Buffy related.

[@crystalfire5564]

This is one of my favourite episodes

[@osnatashtaralevin8944]

that's an interesting point you got there about vengeance demons.. You think about demons as beings of evil, and the show supported that with the initial makeup and demeanor of Anya in "The Wish" episode, she very much reminded me of a Banshi-type creator, but when you think about it, they are simply women who have been scorned and are exacting revenge on behalf of other victims. When you think about it, when Anya approached Cordy at the wish episode, all she did was talk with her, and let _her_ drive the punishment she wished. I am not saying I could ever do it, or that it is right, but it does make the demon=evil statement a little murkier, which in turn, makes the Buffyverse all the more intriguing.

[@Junejane4]

Every time someone in the ep says 'Please stop' I reply with 'No, CONTINUE'. 😈😼😄 and the way he says "Slayer' at 19:40 , it was delivered especially good, so you see why she kissed him after. I mean c'mon. They wanted to play a joke here. But they had no idea. And the joke played them. Because don't play with fire, kids. It will overpower all your plans. This is the kind of episode when you want to see the reaction of as many people as possible.

[@AceofDymonds]

This season as a whole may be pretty 'meh', but it has some of the best one-off episodes in the show. This one is absolutely hilarious -- and on rewatch it's even got me to *almost* start liking Riley.

[@koreygeren2677]

[@troikas3353]

It's not specifically pointed out by the characters but I always liked the contrast this episode gave Anya and Willow; Anya jumped at the chance to become a super powerful vengeance demon and dove head first into 1,000 years of inflicting horror, murder and pain on anyone she felt like and has never once mentioned feeling bad about any of it. Willow gets offered the same gig for effectively the same reason Anya did, but Willow's not even slightly tempted. Rather she's horrified and immediately just wants to go help fix it and then afterward expresses nothing but guilt and contrition over it even though it was entirely unintentional.

[@BusoRockin1000]

[@barbarabaker1457]

[@greigclement9081]

I like your discussion about a single wish, because you started to think about the effects being too literal "no more homeless" could lead to those affected suddenly vanishing instead of actually placed in shelter. Trickster genies, demons etc have used the literal wording of wishes to cause havoc in popular media for decades". The old adage "be careful for what you wish for" still rings true today.

willow didnt create anything with the spell, we only saw it influence others, so while she could make people help the hungry and homeless more, i dont think she couldve just created infinite food and housing

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I’m not sure if they simply didn’t get it, or the conversation just kinda went off the rails to talking about general wish fulfillment. Also, making one person blind, or making 2 people want to get married takes far less power than altering the consciousness of tens, or hundreds of millions of people around the entire globe. I mean, I know it’s a show, but when I see these guys start running with things like this, it kinda hurts that at least one of them couldn’t reason out that magic takes considerable power, even to do small things & just because you can make a pencil float, that doesn’t mean you can move planets around or fling the Empire State Building into New Jersey, lol..

Also those greater "will-be-dones" would've had greater consequences. So like, the rainforests being burned down to provide more housing.

Anya was not a demon of “good” vengeance. She slaughtered ppl whose worst crime was cheating or being a bad significant other. I know we all hate that shit, but evisceration is a tad extreme. Plus, as we saw with the wish that Cordy made, her “services” were not beneficial even to the ppl she was taking vengeance for. She cast Cordelia into a horrible world where she was killed with no remorse. She then tried to manipulate Willow AND tried to get her killed by vampires in the episode where evil Willow was pulled into this reality. Anya…she kinda sucked guys. It’s ok to find her funny and find her love for Xander cute and all, but she has a lot of undeserved blood on her hands.
