..you have a metallipod?

indeed. that's what i named my iTouch.

i'm a B/A 'shipper too. much like Beverly, i liked them in Something Blue, but i grew weary of them as a "couple". Fool For Love is probably one of my favorite Spike/Buffy eps.

never liked Riley. never ever ever. Marc is a sweetheart though.

I didn't really like him until the "but she doesn't love me" scene with Xander. Really incredible moment. And, you know that I love me a midwestern farm boy.

I thought Riley was a good guy and that Buffy didn't deserve him. The stuff with him visiting the vampire den seemed very artificial, to make him into a bad person & it never felt real to me.

For some reason, I remember Riley having better chemistry with Willow, especially when he was TA guy. I sort of wished he stayed TA guy, frankly.

Laga, I always felt the same way about Riley, although I'm not sure I'd say Buffy didn't deserve him. It was always clear to me that he'd never be The One for her, but I liked him a lot. He was sweet and he tried hard to be the man she wanted him to be.

I realize I'm in the minority, but there you go.

I'm with you too. Not a B/S fan. Not at all.

I was okay with Riley until he started going to vampire crackhouses to get blood sucked out of him. That was a line crossed that I couldn't come back from. I never did feel the same about the character after that.

I dig Buffy/Spike for the hot factor but I really think Buffy needs therapy more than love. In the end Riley did find the right woman for him.

I thought the B/R relationship was fine while they were in the middle of it, but the writing that got the characters together and broke them up was painfully bad.

I never really bought any of Buffy's relationships from a chemistry standpoint. SMG as an actress is sort of a reverse-BBOC for me.

a little Spike goes a long way, sort of like cilantro,

I like cilantro better than I like Spike.

So for Ginger, BBOC = Big Block of Cilantro?
