so this was the last but one season finale, too.

for now though, no time to get sad: i am all excited about spike's soul and am already forgetting about the lows of the-season-that-never-had-a-real-plot-besides-buffy-and-spike-screwing. besides those nookie/fight scenes, and "once more with feeling", one of the best moments was giles return and him and buffy breaking into laughter as she told him what had happened since he left.

sometimes an end while still on top can be a good thing.
