Oh, man...that scene.  *attempts to get self under control*

I made a Buffy vid to that scene featuring a Nine Inch Nails song that I still pat myself on the back for to this day.  

For some reason that scene always felt like a revisitation of the scene between them at the end of "Fool For love", but with them finally losing the battle with their inhibitions.  Both scenes are equally powerful, but for completely different reasons.  IMHO, of course.  [emoji6]

P.s., it's nice to have someone to talk "Buffy" with.  [emoji41]

I'd love to see that video! Yeah that scene...ahem

I like your perspective on it. I think at the end of "Fool For Love" they both get humbled--Spike when his concern for Buffy overcomes the sting of his rejection--and Buffy is surprised by how comforting Spike really is to her, despite the very real anger she feels toward him for everything he's done. It's such a touching scene.

I think this humbling and his inability to deny how he feels for her is what eventually leads Spike to get his soul back...I kind of wish Buffy could have gotten over Angel and really loved Spike, the way he wanted her to. It makes sense that she didn't though, and it makes his sacrifice at the end that much more touching.

Yeah, I need more Buffy talk in my life Gonna try to get my husband to watch some with me today. He's never seen all the episodes.
