Buffy gets that alot, like with Kathy in Living Conditions. It's hard to be 100% supportive of her when she seems so wrong, but there must be something about those Slayer instincts.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

I am also watching LMPTM. I come over to the computer on a commercial, and I find that my comments have already been posted for me. Except that I like the song.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I think the song was appropriate... Here are the lyrics:
Early One Morning, a folk song.
Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid sing in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me,
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"
Remember the vows that you made to me truly
Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me
Gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I've culled from the garden to bind over thee.
Here I now wander alone as I wonder
Why did you leave me to sigh and complain
I ask of the roses, why should I be forsaken,
Why must I here in sorrow remain?
Through yonder grove, by the spring that is running
There you and I have so merrily played,
Kissing and courting and gently sporting
Oh, my innocent heart you've betrayed
How could you slight so a pretty girl who loves you
A pretty girl who loves you so dearly and warm?
Though love's folly is surely but a fancy,
Still it should prove to me sweeter than your scorn.
Soon you will meet with another pretty maiden
Some pretty maiden, you'll court her for a while;
Thus ever ranging, turning and changing
Always seeking for a girl that is new.
Thus sang the maiden, her sorrows bewailing
Thus sang the poor maid in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me,
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"

I look more rad than Lutheranism
With a mom like that, who wouldn't have issues?

I think Giles was wrong about what he said to Buffy. I am not sure if given the choice again she would sacrifice Dawn to save the world. She still tried to send Dawn away with Xander, to save them both. I am still finding Giles scenes painful, except for the part about the schools new library.

I'm having a theory about Spike's character.
I think he's a romantic idealist. For him, bad guys are bad guys, good guys are good guys. No one is a mixture of both.
This occured to me when he was telling Wood that it was the demon talking and not his mother. We had a discussion before about his mother possibly having some of the feelings she expressed when she became a vampire, and Angel mentioning that vampires do have soemthing to do with their former selves.
It fits a lot of what he does. His inability to really see that Buffy couldn't love him (she's a good guy, and so her actions should always be true). His getting a soul (he's fighting for good and can't reconcile that with being evil). Telling wood it's part of the game (bad guys do bad things, good guys try to stop them). Even his shutting down the hellmouth (He was happy to go out like the big hero with guns blazing).

That theory makes a lot of sense.

Well, on a simpler level -- it was his *mom*. Every kid wants his mom to be perfect, y'know? Not some freaky mean Oedipal bitch.

Well, she wasn't. But I'm sure as a human, she probably had uncharitable thoughts toward her son.
