Oh gods... I burst into tears at the end of the episode. So love someone sincerely and desperately.. a good example of how everything can be destroyed. Why didn't I see this episode on January 5th? The ending IS A CAPEIAN..... I'm all goosebumps.
Probably, even years later, I will not understand why the characters of the last two episodes practice beating Spike, laughing at his feelings, completely forgetting all his past help and driving him out of houses as if he were the most heinous thing that could happen.
Spike/Buffy, whom he so desperately wanted, this is his love in sweet, awkward speeches, killing vampires next to her, reveling in her scent and asking what happened and what he could do, which he so fatally exhaled when she sobbed there on the porch... I'm unlikely to perceive this couple the way I could, the way I wanted to, — the screenwriters achieved this by showing over and over again how Buffy drags from his suffering.
After all he's done, what was he like? And they're all with him like this?(Trampled, ridiculed, kicked out. Thanks a lot.
@Underwood: even with the chip, he always wanted them dead and helped only out of inevitability, or when money was needed. and I showed them in every possible way that the chip was about to be removed and you were all screwed. Yes, he began to change, in their environment, it's true. but we, as viewers, can see it, but the characters can't, they've suffered too much. this is an absolutely logical reaction. Do you feel sorry for Spike? Very!! Did I do the same in the place of the heroes? absolutely. he was the cause of their suffering so many times, so many times they were on the verge of death because of him, too little time has passed to rehabilitate him in their eyes
I've always liked this robot series, especially since it led to Buffy the Robot.
In the last scene with April, I was crying... and in any case, she's a metaphor for those girls who try to be perfect and adjust to their partner. And they are waiting, waiting, waiting for them to be loved or for their love to return to them.
And I forgot that it's in this episode that Joyce dies. This scene always caught me unprepared, even though I knew about it.
But the way the writers gave us a few episodes with Joyce in the hospital, cured her, and then suddenly, in the middle of all the good things, after a successful date, she was killed? They can do it. The question remains, did the tumor kill her or did Glory?
I think it's not Glory, she wouldn't be on the sly, but with a business card... The plot itself is silent about this, but it seems to me that this with a tumor could even be the consequences of a change in reality by the monks who created the Don from the key, albeit for good purposes... but the series has repeatedly shown and proved in Laura that there is a price attached to magical actions.
It's too harsh on Spike. It was hard to watch Giles kick him out. All of them together mock him and his feelings worse than the children at school. Spike was certainly not an angel, but at least he never hid his essence and his emotions. And either they're all idiots and don't believe in his sincerity, which is unlikely since Buffy clearly believed after the last episode. Or they are clearly overreacting. Buffy even found sympathy for the robot and regretted it. And in principle, throughout the entire series, she did not have such hatred and disgust for any creature. This season is disappointing with every episode
Spike is an interesting character and I can't say that I don't like him directly, rather the opposite. Nevertheless, Buffy's friends are doing the right thing by protecting her, and it's still a long way from becoming adequate to him... And the fact that he is now mostly showing some kind of crazy infatuation and insanity, but not love ((
Warren is such an asshole, and in the end it was even a pity for the robot, as if it hadn't discharged itself, but had died. And then the final scene followed, which turned out to be even worse...

Sorry, it's boiling over.
In real life, Adam Bush (Warren) and Amber Benson (Tara) were dating at the time of filming (irony).
