spike showing buffy the darkness vs giving her the light

The Biley x Spuffy Agenda of season 4 is one of the reasons I watch it so much

[hero-adjacent]

later seasons Spike righting his s2 wrongs:

* In School Hard Spike goes to Sunnydale High on Parent-teacher night and kills people. In Storyteller Spike & Buffy go to Sunnydale High to save people, she reminds him not to kill anyone.

* In Halloween, Spike tried to kill amnesiac Buffy and sent a minion to spy on her via camcorder. In Tabula Rasa Spike & Buffy have amnesia, they fight together. "no thoughts of me killing you" In Entropy Buffy asked Spike if he's been spying on her via cameras. "Do you think that I could do that?"

* In What's My Line Spike sent the Order of Taraka to kill Buffy. She stops him killing her boyfriend during a blood ritual. In Family, Spike heard Glory sent demons to kill Buffy and ends up helping her. In The Gift she has him swear to protect her sister during a blood ritual. "I made a promise"

* In Surprise Spike let The Judge (burns the good out of people) try to incinerate Buffy. In Once More With Feeling Spike saved Buffy from incineration. In Chosen Spike let's himself be incinerated, through him evil gets burnt out of the town.

* In Becoming #2 Spike abandoned Buffy when he saw Angelus about to run her head through with a sword, she caught the blade. In Spiral Spike saved Buffy when a knight was about to run her head through with a sword, he caught the blade.

I'm rewatching Angel. More specifically, just watched 3x01, "Heartthrob", and I'm still amazed by the fact that we have :

-a blond, blue-eyed vampire,

-called JAMES (*cough*),

-who just lost the blonde, Buffy-styled, love of his life and can't process it.

They even gave them the same kind of haircut.

And this episode was shoot and aired approximatively at the same moment as the first episode of the 6th season of Buffy. The parallel is so obvious, it hurts 😭

I like that they're presenting a contrast with Angel, who feels bad because he's of course affected by Buffy's death but actually doing ok, and feels guilty for being ok. He's not at the same point anymore. It was an interesting highlight and comment about his own journey.

In Pangs, Angel looks into Giles' flat, yearns for Buffy and wants to be part of her life. Gets jealous of Riley. "Who's that guy?"

In This Year's Girl, Faith looks into Giles' flat, yearns for Buffy and wants to be part of her life. Gets jealous of Riley. "She forgot about us."

bonus:

In Doomed, Buffy tries to thwart Riley's romantic advances by vague referencing her heartbreak over her failed relationships with Angel & Faith.

i like how many queer allegories there are in buffy. for example monster hunting is like being gay, doing magic is like being gay and *checks notes* dating spike is like being gay.
