How is it that the Spike flashback episodes are the best episodes of Buffy? And why do they have to wait almost a whole season to come up with a somewhat compelling episode?

Poor Spike and his mother issues, like something out of a greek tragedy except with vampirific bad poetry.

And Giles! Total Ratfink!

I must say that while I finally enjoyed watching Buffy this season, I’m happy that it is ending.
