I'm racking my brains, and I have no idea what "the Spike thing" was.
The one Abi and I are talking about is actually about Giles' colluding with Principal McHottie to kill Spike.
Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Oh right...there's so much of S7 I don't remember. Probably for the best.
Hec, that isn't the defining incident of my PodGiles characterization. It's just that it happens after it, and so, doesn't really fall under the same rules, to me.
My blindspot is conventional - Willow up to the whole friggin addiction anvil. Killing bambi, bringing back buffy from the dead without even friggin digging her out of her coffin first - if Willow does it is is just loveable bumbling. Also had a bit of a Fred shaped blind spot too.
I'm a Willow-hater. Does this make me a bad person?

I'm going to have to say you are a bad person. But I think you'll just revel in that.
I'm a Fred-hater. I don't judge.
I am Typo Boy. My Willow blind spot makes it up to the pre-addiction anvil only, however, when she first made Tara forget and it looked like that storyline still had the potential to be very good.
I would still forgive her for that, I think, just as I forgive Xander for telling Buffy to "Kick his ass." but it was a big adulation turning point for me. Tara deserved much better.
I have never been convinced that Tara would have agreed to bring back Buffy, especially after the Joyce debacle, without a little "push" from Willow.
I agree, connie. And, if I actually consider it long and hard, that's a big Willow turning point for me, too, along the same lines as the Tara-forgets plot point.
Of course, if she DIDN'T bring Buffy back, show gone. So sometimes I write it off as a necessary evil. Though that's probably underestimating our show.
