1. Why do Buffy and Spike belong together rather than Buffy and Angel? They belong together more so than Buffy and Angel because it is a mature relationship based on mutual respect that has grown into love. And in Spike's case, it is an enduring and deep emotion. And because Angel is too easily sent off the rails. Having said that, Buffy belongs with whomever she chooses to spend her life with. She's not obligated to be with either one, but if she does choose a vampire for her SO, then I can more easily imagine Spike sharing her life than I can Angel.

I was all for it while it was happening (just as I was hoping Riley was the one when she started dating him). In real time, I was supportive of and in favor of whomever Buffy was with (not Parker, obs). However, she moved on (eventually), and so did I. I liked Spike's character immediately, although it took until the end of season 5 for me to see him as a possible romantic partner for Buffy. I wanted her to like him, but... I liked them when
