This is SUCH a good Willow episode. "A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend" followed by her comforting Spike after he fails to bite her? Top notch Willow, truly A+.
Perfection.
I was well into my 40s when I watched Buffy. I can't help but wonder how I would have reacted to the show at a much younger age. More would have gone over my naive head at that age for sure! But I know the love would still have been there.
