I agree, especially about the familial vibe in "Bargaining."And in "Wrecked," when they find Willow and the car wreck, Spike, Buffy and Dawn almost seem to form a family unit. I really felt the lack of follow-up to their relationship - even estranged, I would expect more interaction, if only to show her avoiding him. But of course we also had the Potentials there as ideal foils for a Q&A on the subject of Spike - I could never fathom why that wasn't taken advantage of.

So yeah, I'll be tackling that one, definitely. Stay tuned.
