So were many of us!! I was actually mad at Xander for talking Buffy into chasing after him. Riley had too many hang-ups and jealousies about Buffy's past.

Favorite Riley scene:
Riley~ "I'm not leaving this room. I mean it"
Buffy and Angel leave room. Angel smirks.

Willow and her snot-nosed band of Scoobies brought Buffy back from heaven where she was happy, content, and loved, and finshed with her mission on earth. Buffy should have killed the whole lot of them when she got back.

I guess I lied and decided to watch season 6 after all. I'm mad as hell.

There is an episode - cant remeber which one, as its a while since I watched them all, where Willow an dbuffy are walking out of class at college talking about the hunchback of Notre Dame, about how he isnt really good, he has no morals of his own, he just does what he thinks the heroine wants... They are actually having a philosophical discussion, a fact which Willow is thrilled about. Anyway, when things started happening with spike a few episode further on, I realised that was a direct reference to spike. Yes, he is trying to do the right thing, but not because he thinks he should, but because he knows Buffy will think he should. There is a difference. Like the episode where they are helping the injured at the bronze, and he points out he hasnt tried to feed off the injured/dead. Buffy asks if he thinks that deserves a medal - he doesnt get why she doesnt understand that he thinks it should.

Later, well, thats another point entirely, but no spoilers here (I dont know how to do the spoiler thingy)

Spike’s character was really starting to grow, but I was put-off by how the Scooby gang treated him especially Xander. Xander’s behavior towards Spike really started to get on my nerves. It was clear that Spike was trying to make amendments through action helping them in their little adventures, but they wasn’t giving him a chance at all. Towards the end I really liked and respected Spike. He put up with torture, and didn’t tell Glory anything about the Key, and got his ass beat up on in the process. He did it because he really respected and loved the Slayer.

Season 6 of BTVS is so depressing and dark. It sort of bothers me to see Buffy working at a fastfood joint, and Xander, well I just hate him to death now.

2002 was one of the most awful years of my life. I was drunk the entire year. All this terrible crap was happening and my one oasis of entertainment was also mostly depressing.

Somewhat better now.

I was glad in the way that one experinces when a toothach goes away. I guess my mother had laid there all night dead and the blood had pooled to the center of her body. She was face down. I looked an touched with curiousity. It was weird but I called the ambulance and then went back to watching the Original BSG since it was airing that day. I guess my older brother and sisters freaked out a little, but that was not my problem. I never loved my mother. She gave me no reason too.

Buffy's relationship with her mother, that watcher and her friends is an alien concept for me. I cannot even begin to understand how people form relationships like that. My relationships with people were always strange. Never like what I see on Buffy. No group could ever be that tight, so I must chock it up to being a fantasy made-for-tv sort of thing.

Out of all my friends and relatives that died from natural causes or suicide, I only got upset once about a death, and that death was a guy friend I knew and talked with from time to time. His name was Bruce and he died in 2004. I think I shed a tear or two for him, and then nothing. I must be like a machine or something. Oh well, next DVD.

I sometimes come back to the posts that I write and read them. This one in particular bothers me. What kind of daughter reacts to her mother's death this way? I'm a strange one but I know that I'm not alone.
I guess we are supposed to honor our parents no matter what they do to us. Call me weak, but I guess I couldnt, and never really said that out loud before. She was mean, and no one would give me information. I reacted the way I did to her death because she never taught me to love her. You can't get something from nothing.

I think I shall carry this misplaced guilt in my heart for the rest of my life, but you know something? I think I had every right to be bitter or souless. If someone slaps you around and was cruel to you mentally, physically and emotionally, when they die, its sort of hard to think fuzzy good thoughts about them. I'm so going to hell for this, but I can't help it. She was well-meaning but a very bad human being and because of her I've become very rich, but completely empty and unable to form relationships. I blame her for that and I blame myself for taking it all so seriously.

On one hand I'm a bright, evil person. On another hand I'm so beyond clueless and don't have a bucket to piss in.

P.S. How does one make a friend? I have lost that ability. What is a friend? Why do people need friends?

Seriously. I was very angry at her for the way she treated Riley. ANd then she got all whiny and it just ticked me off. Then of course she USED Spike.

So I was NOT a happy camper for awhile!

No, you are right. She did use Spike. I take my kicking you in the kneecaps back. Spike turned out to be THE hero in the end. Spike's character was better than Angel could ever be. Towards the end I really admired Spike. Spike's sacrifice atoned for all the evil he did. Spike saved the world along with Buffy and all the other people who fought.

Throughout the series there were little things, little indicators of Spike's character. Spike was a true romantic. He liked soap operas, he tried to do the right thing by Buffy through action not just words, and he never backed down from loving Buffy no matter what nasty thing she put him through. Spike was the same guy that he originally was before he got changed into a vampire. A nerdy, romantic guy who only wanted the love of a woman he adored.

My opinion of Spike change radically when an episode flashback showed him trying to express his love for some woman and she said that "he was beneath her." And later on Buffy said that he was beneath her, and Spikes first reaction to that was tears and humiliation just like he experienced years ago before he became a vampire.

Spike went on a journey, and that journey made him a champion. Spike became a man before he died. Spike is one of Joss’s best characters I think.

You have every right to feel the way you feel and to have reacted the way you did.

Yes one should honor ones parents. But, it is possible for parents to lose the right to that honor and respect.

Feel no guilt!
