I think she was distracted by his hair. Which I like, but will have to rewatch to fully appreciate.
And he tried to rip his soul out. Poor thing.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
When I heard that Spike's hair was different, I thought "Oh, so he has to express his new self with a hair-do?" but now I've seen it I think it was cleverly done. It looked like he stopped dyeing and cutting it when he got his soul - makes sense to me.

Also, did anybody else's TV fritz out for a second during Spike's freak out? It seemed apropos, actually.

Thanks for all the fish.
And he spends a lot of time pulling it and running his fingers through it.. ...
Okay, back now.

Sue, YES! My tv fritzed out! Just long enough for me to start an anguished cry. Then it came back, but I was all anxious for the rest of the ep.

Ditto with the fritzing.

And I didn't find it slow. I thought that the hour went pretty fast.
I told Betsy that there were a coupld of jump-in-your-seat moments (when the zombie/ghosts showed up in the mirrors the first couple of times) but everything else was cool.
Say, why wouldn't there have been more than 3 apparitions? Because hundreds of people died there.

It was crazy! It almost seemed intentional for a millisecond, then it was off long enough for me to beocme distressed, and then it was back.

Distressed, indeed. I'll have to tape it again on Saturday.
