The kids need to be with someone who's worthy of them, someone capable of accepting and supporting what they do. But that doesn't preclude that person from being completely "normal" in that they are neither a demon nor a demon fighter.
Well, the SO would have to be special in some ways. At minimum, recognizing that they're going to have to deal with life with a -- new-style Watcher? And the SO could participate in less-front line ways, much like S7 Andrew doing the cooking.
In a lot of ways, it would be like being married to a police officer. Except the unexpected could be a lot more weird.
Similar, but I would think that it would seep into the rest of your life more. It was unusual that Angelus went after Buffy, Willow and Giles in their own homes, but there's a degree of "always on-duty" in being a Scooby.
Not that unusual. Darla, Kralik, Faith, and Dracula all tried to get at Buffy through her mom, and Harmony through Dawn. Though proper information and a judicious invitation policy would've helped in several of those instances.
BTW, last night's GG was an ME-alum fest -- written by Jane Espenson, directed by Marita Grabiak and including Danny Strong as "Doyle".
It was also a good one -- Jane E. writes good GG.
USA Today lists "Hush" as one of the scariest episodes of any TV show. "Squeeze" from X-Files is also listed, plus some Alfred Hitchcock.
Putty Boy!
The return of Eugene Tooms.

Ahh, "Squeeze".
Which I'm sure managed to squick everyone who every had paranoid fears of the escalator.

HELL YES. Those Gentlemen were cree-pee!
Good choice, though I think that individual moments in "Lie to Me," "Surprise," and "Forever" exceeded anything in "Hush" for sheer creepiness.
Also, for X-Files I think "Home" kicks the ass of "Squeeze" any day of the week and twice on Fridays.
