I always thought that the April bot was the underlying hardware for the Buffy bot for Spike. Building a bot takes time, but hardwiring a new personality and reusing the basic skeleton and adding a new skin would mean that the build time would be vastly cut down for Spike's Buffy bot...
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

Plus, April and Buffy bot v.1 shared certain romantic obsessive tendencies, until Buffy v.2 was extensively reprogrammed by Willow. Considering Warren's work ethic (ie none) he may have simply done a search and replace of subjects names...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was a huge spoiler whore for Buffy.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
No spoilers for me,ever. Mostly because the show always surprised me. If it had become predictable I would have looked.

Beth is me. plus, I remember the first big spoiler that I knew (Angel turning human) and I spent the ep waiting for it to happen, I couldn't really enjoy the show until it happened.

I thought the Torez spoiler was about Spike turning up on Angel, right? Or possibly about Spike getting his soul back. I'm pretty sure it wasn't about Buffy returning in season 6, because... we all pretty much assumed that was going to happen.
The Office and Doctor Who are the shows that I care about getting spoiled for these days, and even with those I don't care nearly as much about certain kinds of spoilers, casting and the like.

I think casting spoilers for Doctor Who is the fun part. They really pull in some good guest stars and it's fun trying to guess what kind of a role they're going to play.
I started watching Buffy with season 6 and at first I jumped on spoilers like a kid in a candy shop. But once I realized it really was reducing the HSQ moments for me, I tried to stop. I didn't completely succeed. But for season 7 the only real spoilers I remember knowing were for "Chosen." It was a dramatic enough episode that I didn't care that I knew Anya was going to die and that Spike was going up in a blaze of glory. That was stuff that you really didn't need to have spoilers to know, they were more or less givens.
