I just want you to know I'm staring intently at that black spoiler box, testing my will power to not highlight it and read.
Tomorrow night will come soon enough....

Well, for those that can't wait, the episode is already floating around cyberspace in the Buffy newsgroup. And yeah, spoiler free is the only way to go!! Lots, of good revelations in the episode with a chilling ending.

Never thought I would say this, and it still might be too soon, but I am actually starting to like Dawn! She still whines occasionally, but she is a little easier to be warm towards.
Overall, the show is turning out much better than last season and is delivering the goods. Hope the writers keep up the good work.

Yeah he still has the chip in there. I think he tried to get the chip removed at the end of last season but ended up getting his soul back. He flintched when he stabbed the guy when he turned from the worm back to human. I thought his performance at the end was great. His soul is back so he's getting flooded with all sorts of regret, guilt and stuff. Completely confused, lost, and sick of himself. Kind of like how Darla was when she got her soul in Angel.

Was I the only one who thought that when Spike stabbed the guy he seemed to kind of flinch out of anticipation for the pain from the chip, but then looked kind of confused as if there was no pain?

But I just pulled that scene up again, and now I think I'm leaning towards your view of it. Spike's reaction just didn't seem severe enough for what he had done based on older episodes...

Yes, spike still has his chip.
he went to Africa to get his soul back, he wanted to be a better man for Buffy. He said(paraphrasing here) that if he had a soul, he would not have tried to rape her. To steal a line from As Good As It Gets, Buffy makes him want to be a better man.
All the voices he hears are the those of his victims. It seemed that at times they were taking over his body, he's possessed. Or maybe he's just experiencing 200 years worth of remorse all at once.
Is it next Tuesday yet??

Was that a wink at Alias at the start? Could be just me - having watched most of that marathon this weekend.
I thought this ep. started off pretty good, but the ending was right out of last season, though the pacing was much quicker. Instead of dragging the Spike story for a long time, they revealed the soul already. And I guess he's hearing the slayers he killed and thats why he knows the line from Buffy's dream?

I thought that also. And do not even watch Alias.....
Anyways. It was fun a episode. I laughed out loud
a couple of times. Little tired of the Buffy/Spike relationship
going on & on again this season. Glad when Willow
rejoins the gang again. The whole England thing was
a bust IMO.
