Ok, read and digested (sort of...) last issue. Overall I liked it, especially the parts about Xander and Dawn. Their travelling was a bit fast-forwarded (they went in and out of all those dimensions while Spike and Buffy had their little speech lol) but it was a nice visual so I'm not complaining. I couldn't care less about Willow and Lake breakout, I found it a little childish actually. I have no idea what's Buffy's plan to defeat D'Hoffryn about, but I have the feeling she got the idea when Spike told her he wanted a break, so it should be something related to his words. Maybe something about them being distracted... I don't know but I'm eager to see what's the plan (hoping it's not stupid lol).
Now, coming to the most important part (well, to me at last XD): the Spuffy missed breakup. As I thought it was a fake and Buffy and Spike are still together and being a huge spuffy fan I should be satisfied... right?
Wrong.
Of course I'm glad they are together but I'm not liking how things went and how both acted. First Spike: in my previous post I said that to me his talk of break up was mostly a cry for attention. He didn't really mean it, he just wanted Buffy to tell him 'no, I love you and I want us to be together'. And I wanted the same. But that's not what happened and I felt a little - no, a lot - put down by her attitude. First, she was all business: 'I don't have the time now, are you in or out' and blah blah. Then she was all mature girl (which is fine for a change) and told him she wanted to fight for them (while dragging him around). Well, she also said something about the two of them used to run away from those they got too close to and I believe that's absolute bs. That said, my main issue is that there was no love declaration... and no fight from her side either. No need to because just like that Spike is okay with it. She is giving him a crumble and he is accepting it. Also, what about all the unsolved issues between them? Their exchange in Chosen, his not contacting her after the resurrection, Angel... and whatever else I'm forgetting. Will those be left unsolved or will there be other confrontations? If so, how many?? I mean, their relationship now just seems to be about them talking about their issues one at the time. While she treats him more like a partner than a lover. Maybe it's all very mature, yes... but where is the passion? Where is the love? Where is the 'spuffy' we were used to?
