hope that they don't repeat the "Spike's in trouble/we have to save him" storyline.
It seems to me that they just have to get rid of the chip for some future storyline purpose. I'd have been more pleased with it being non-functional without bringing the army guys back.
I enjoyed the Giles resolution, but actually thought it could have been played for more laughs. Tackling him wouldn't make much sense if he was the FE. Anya and Andrew trying to slying cop a feel to see if he was real could have been fun. More humor to balance what I found to be quite angsty drama in the Willow/Warren story. That really worked for me.
Another out of context line was Spike's reaction to having said "Who you gonna call?" First off, pretty American phrasing of the question, and was Spike really watching Ghostbusters? Better line in someone else's mouth.
Have to disagree there. I'm definitely not American and i use the phrase often - intentionally and unintentionally 'quoting' the film. Just watched the ep with two (non-american) friends and the three of us obviously yelled 'ghostbusters' in unison in reply to spike's question. so his comment really cracked us up.
I can't say I was disappointed by the Giles resolution, just because even before I was spoiled for it, I never thought for a moment that he was dead.

I'm not American either, and I use it, ironically or by mistake. But neither of us are undead folk who were busy pillaging Europe in the 80s.
I don't think.
If he was quoting Passions or Sid Vicious lyrics, I'd get it. I just can't see him in the Ghostbusters frame of mind.

wasn't Spike in the US in the 1980s? Did he leave after killing Nikki in NYC in the 1970s?
Spike is very pop-culture aware. I'm sure he would know Who You Gonna Call?, Where's the Beef?, and other such phrases.

Dru was recovering from what happened in Prague when they first showed up in Sunnydale, so he went back to Europe somewhere in between. But the exact itinerary has never been stated in canon.

Vienna was where they were before they came to Sunnydale, so I'd kinda moved them out for the 80s. Spike wouldn't have stayed here once the fashions changed, anyway.
"Where's the beef?" Hmm. Maybe. None of my friends in HS knew it. I only know it now from watching best of ad compilations. When was it from?
