Rewatching Chosen...

Well, rewatching Chosen...

I don't know if it's just that my sentiments have been cemented since seeing it the first time or what, but if anything now I'm even more convinced that Buffy just said "I love you" because she thought Spike was about to die and that he'd want to hear it, and Spike saw through her. When he said "No you don't" she almost had a look of "you're right. You know me too well."

I end up thinking, no. She didn't love him. And, no, he didn't believe her... nor should he. She didn't love him. Cared some. Loved? She was trying to play out the scene and give him what she thought he needed to hear.

And the scoobs STILL SUCK! That final scene is still just plain galling. Hearing them joke about the goddamned MALL with Anya, Spike, and Amanda dead. It makes me really, really hate the scoobs.
