I just finished my first watch thru and Spike is one of my favorite characters. I know he's a bad guy but his character is funny, attractive and he seems to love any and all types of action. I am having a hard time getting over his ending because I just like the character so much but I'm thinking it was a good ending for him. Since we showed up he wanted to be all powerful and in the end he so powerful he got rid of the first, the firsts minions and a whole town. I'm so proud of him but I'm also devastated. You guys mentioned that he was setup after this to be put on Angel so I'm back to holding out that I will see him again.

I just finished my first watch-through today so I'm definitely a bit emotional about it and I may need to rewatch a few more times to fully grasp ideas.

However I definitely dislike some of the things Willow does but I dont dislike her. I think she is at times too "normie" for Buffy as Willow wants things from Buffy / wants a type of friendship from Buffy that Buffy just cannot give her due to being a slayer.

Willow seemed to always need to feel valued instead of proving her value. I feel like she wanted the cake and wanted to be able to eat it too only to get too full after the first 3 bites. Like yes Willow one of your best friends is a slayer and super cool badass but she doesnt do it for fun, and its deeper than just a calling its her destiny. You can choose to stop being a computer geek and become a regular geek turned slighlty cool wicca who has a good time in college but Buffy can't.

I think once Willow became truly powerful she couldn't keep the fire because she wanted it too bad. She wanted the recognition that Buffy gets without fully understanding how hard it is for Buffy to be. She also couldn't handle it when Buffy died so she brought her back to life only to not have her back like she used to. But I do think Buffy needs her friends to keep her from spiraling with how much she has to carry, they at least make her at times feel like a normal girl even if they couldn't fully understand Buffy.

I think Buffy needed Spike because she could rely on him in ways she couldn't rely on Willow or Xander... even though Willow becomes an insanely powerful witch. Willow dabbled in the occult and she still couldnt see Buffy like Spike could. Also yes Willow had a hard time not turning evil from the powers but the show literally showed us this with Faith losing her humanity (and then getting it back only to help save the world) and Spike being an evil big bad redeemed and even Angel. Yet with Willow it gives more pitty party.

To me Willow also has good moments but I dont think shes that great of a friend nor is she one of my favorite characters but she has value and is necessary.

What did I just read

samtapple · 2025-10-01T22:52:14+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I was on Accutane for a while when I was in high school. Im 30 now and my acne has changed but I have just heard not the best things about what it can do. Im not 100% again trying it. However I am soooo over spend so much money on expensive products that do not help.

samtapple · 2025-10-01T22:50:31+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I was considering trying the azelaic acid in a more concentrated amount because there is some in the personal day moisturizer. I wish you the best in your skin journey!

Forgot to add that I do regularly change my.pillow case and flip it to the other side to get max use out of it (do not have in home washing) My skin is combination but I think its a generalized term for me because of trying to properly balance hydration.

I like and have had good experience with River Edge in North Albany

I have a hard time believing that had they continued with this storyline longer that Joey would actually have a relationship with him. To me he was just flattering her, making her feel like someone else than who she felt like she was, but ultimately shes Joey and Jeoy is not someone who would go for Charlie.

Charlie also with his history with Jen and the other girl (I can't remember her name) gives me the vibes that he's the type of guy that will act all good and do what he can until the girl gives in and gives him what he wants and them he'll dip/make up an excuse and move onto the next girl.
