Also--and I didn't actually plan this intentionally, but was suprised to note it as I read this back through--when she's thinking how Spike's such a sicko because he's so different from all other vampires, she doesn't include Angel, who was neither afraid of her or thought of her as a conquest. It's like she doesn't even think of Angel as a vampire. (Which, in a sort of reverse wank, makes me look on some of her scene with Angel in "Chosen" more kindly, when she sighs "you vampires"... because she's putting Angel and Spike on the same level for about the first time.)

I can't believe I've written one of your favorite Buffys ever. (does Snoopy dance)
