I didn't see it that way, but I haven't watched Buffy in a while, so I might just be in the wrong headspace for this.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

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.

You know, they should have left the bedroom prep scene in in Smashed. Make it damn good and clear what they thought Spike was capable of right then and there. I mean, they wrote it, and the Roxy Music alone would have been worth it.
However, I think she's misunderstanding the cause of Spife/Buffy people moving to slash.
Anna S has wondered if many of the new to fandom Spuffy people didn't realize that for her, and many other writers, the Spike/Buffy stuff was an unexpected detour from their normal slash country and into the wacky world of het.

Spike didn't really attempt to rape Buffy. The writers made him do it. He never would have done that on his own

Raq, just think of it as the same phenomenon where angry housewives approach soap opera stars in supermarkets and hit them for cheating on their favorite characters. No ability to perceive the distinction between real life and fiction.

The evil is this way?
Fandom is a nutty place, sometimes.

See, this is even weird to me, because don't you watch soaps to see people cheat?
But, yeah, I get the point. It just makes my brain all hurty.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I watch 'em for the reaction shots. I figure there's an unexplored connection between daytime soaps and the world of mime.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What was in it?
I think a cattle prod. Or a stun gun. Anyway, toys that indicated that Spike did not play nice.

Also rope, IIRC, or chains. Restrain-y things, in any case.
