I think I used up my tears for today earlier in the evening; I was reading a book in which a dog dies, and since that is pretty much the one thing guaranteed to make me ALWAYS bawl like a baby, I guess I was all cried out by the time Buffy came around.
Damn, I want to rewatch right now!
What did you hate, specifically, Rebecca? Or just 'everything about it'?
RL, why?

You weren't the only one, it turns out, RL.
It felt weird and off, pacing- and characterization-wise, all the way through. The final scene was pretty, but like Jess I'm at this point kind of bored of Spike, and definitely anti-B/S, so... didn't exactly save the episode for me.
I didn't notice anything about the pacing, which normally means that it's good; the charactrization seemed fine, good even; and being bored with Spike is as completely alien to me as not liking elves. But YepisodeMV. And I should note that I'm basically pro-B/S. Though not 'Spuffy', heaven help us.
Am-Chau, take note:
I agree with you.
Huh, I thought the pacing in "Beneath Me" was better than in many of last season's eps. It all felt right to me, although the Willow&Giles scene did seem a bit out of place, if only because it was the only non-Sunnydale scene. I'm very much looking forward to Willow's return, by the way.
Angus, I've bookmarked your post. I'll remember it this time, I promise you.
Oh, and I no longer count myself as a Buffy/Spike 'shipper, but I'm fascinated with what's going on with Spike right now, and so I was totally sucked in by that last scene (distraction from being spoiled aside, did I mention I'm bitter about that?).
