Self-destructive tendencies in fiction just make me go, "Call me when he/she grows up." Dark plots do nothing for me. If I want depressing I'll go to the ER. And the house-breaking sex made me change the channel and check back every few seconds to see if they'd finished.
Angel: Lorne, you're— Lorne: Reliable as a cheap fortune cookie? Angel: I was gonna say a guy with good contacts…

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dark plots are one of the key reasons I tune in to Buffy and Angel.

What is even happening?
The Bronze catwalk sex made me hurt for Buffy. She was drowning in degradation. And it made me hurt a little for Spike, because it was clear he didn't have a clue how to love in any way that mattered. He could feel love, but not give it.
Oddly enough, although Smashed was the hottest sex, I think the hottest Buffy/Spike moment was their kiss at the end of Tabula Rasa. That made my knees weak.

The kiss at the end of OMWF hit me hard, because I never ever thought that could happen.

Cause depression? Yeah, that's all about maturity, not pesky brain issues going plonk and messing things up in ways amusingly and horribly beyond your control.
The portrait of depression is one of the things S6 did exceedingly well.

There with the OMWF kiss, then next week when Buffy's pretending it didn't happen.
YDarknessAppreciationMV. I tune in for the Heroism Against Near Impossible Odds and the Grace Under Fire elements.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My tape of Tabula Rasa has a "hiccup" at that part, because I re-wound and re-watched it so many times. Really the hottest B/S moment. Yes.
Though the house-destroying sex in Smashed is pretty damned hot, too. As was the Bronze catwalk sex.

You betcha! Joss Whedon has ruined me for regular TV.

Me too! I was unspoiled for all of S6, so I really didn't see the kiss coming.

Oh, for heaven's sake, Plei, you're going to take me to task for not having appreciation of the brain chemistry involved in depression in regards to my choices in entertainment?
Fine. It's all about the dark.

Yeah, between him and that Minear guy, I spend a lot of time looking at other TV thinking "yeah, but where's the risk of loss?"
Bless them when they deliver, I love it so.
