I remember reading an interview with James Marsters soon after the second season of Buffy concluded. He was not yet sure that his character would end up dust in the next script they sent him, and he said some cute things about wanting to hang on as long as possible.
6. Spike and Drusilla have the best conversations. He never gets impatient with her. Soul of a poet, he has.
14. Well, yes, Cordelia, he will very soon offer to die for you. And he looked totally terrified the entire time, but he did it anyway. I loved that nobility.
18. The Gypsies have a different way of looking at things, yes....
26. When Buffy walked into Jenny's classroom and threw her on the desk, I knew that Buffy was someone else now. She goes through other such changes as the series continues, some of them intrinsic to a plot and others just basic to the character. I love all of them. And I loved this one. Because Jenny was talking to her as an equal, not as teacher-student. Clearly, Jenny fully realized that Buffy and she were both part of something older and more complex than ordinary people in everyday life were.
35. Yeah. Buffy doesn't kill Angel. But she does something to make herself feel a whole lot better, eh? And he sure didn't see it coming!
36, 37. These were such great dialogues. Both the main adults in Buffy's life came through for her, I felt.
