Spike's current journey is fanscinating- and, despite what some people would say, I think the things (there are bound to be some, right?) that happen to him because he has a soul will be more, not less, intresting because we have Angel to compare to.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I must admit I didn't think it was a particularly good episode until the final scene. (Come to think of it, I thought the same about last week's.) But Spike's "Can we rest now...can we rest...". Shivers. Still.

Spike's "Can we rest now...can we rest...".
Teary now. I can still hear his voice in my head.
(That sounds creepy, doesn't it?)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Children's song? Never heard of it. Enlighten me?
"With a roly-poly gammon and spinach, heigh-ho for Mister Rowley"
I think it's about a frog named Rowley trying to woo, um, Miss Mouse? Anyway, the cat eats them both up at the end. In grand English tradition, it will turn out to be allegorical for Oliver Cromwell, or something.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I liked it a lot, all the way through. The beginning, with that girl in Frankfurt--cool! I'm very interested to see where that's going. Then I liked Buffy/Dawn interaction (is there a better way to do that without the slash? 'cause, ugh), and Buffy/Dawn/Xander (ack!) were very cute, and Spike was great, and I loved how it all came together, with Anya, and then the scene when Spike stabs Ronnie and is horrified... um, yeah, I really liked this episode. Can I watch it again now?

In this particular context, it does rather.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Yes. The "Australian Version", oddly enough.
A frog he went a wooing-oh "Hey ho" sang Rowley For whether his mother would let him or no With a roly poly gammon and spinach "Hey ho" sang Anthony Rowley!
So, is gammon and spinach a common meal in Britain? Social/cultural connotations behind it?

In all the excitement about Buffy, I almost forgot that Australia got the first episode of The Office tonight. Oh yeah!

Not in my family. However, Google UK provides 21 hits, of which slightly less than half are the children's song.
