Re: when did it all begin?

P.S. on a slightly related note...what is it that makes people think Willow/Spike is a good pairing? Honstly, i can easily picture Willow with just about anyone (of course, Buffy being the easiest) , but Spike? It just doesn't work!
*-*-*-*-*-*

I've got to admit that Willow is the easiest character in the entire show to ship.

As for Willow/Spike, if I squint really hard and look at it out of the corner of my eye as I run past it on a moonless night, then maybe I can see how it might work.

The question then becomes 'Would you want see it?' (the answer is of course NO!!!)

::Mike picks up an axe, stands between Spike and the Scoobies and starts channelling Joyce Summers::

"GET AWAY FROM MY SCOOBIES!!!"

Spike doesn't belong with Buffy, or Willow, or Xander, or Giles, or anyone else who isn't a crazy bitch named Dru.

There were two spots they could have gone there and made it work: The
Freshman: Buffy's depressed and feeling abandoned by Willow, Giles,
and Joyce. She's feeling lost, and enters the Bronze. She thinks,
for a moment, she sees Angel, but it's someone else. Then Xander
makes his first appearance of the season, and is just what she needs,
right then. I suspect they brought Anya back to get Xander out of
Riley's way.

The second time was in Lessons. When Xander comes in the door in his
suit and tie, didn't he, Buffy, and Dawn look like the cozy family unit?
*-*-*-*-*-*

Totally agree.

There was a romantic vibe to Buffy's scenes with both Xander and Willow, created entirely by how the actors played their scenes.

*-*-*-*-*-*

There were enough romantic vibes flying between B/W/X to flatten southern California :)

> Buffy/Giles - icick

Y'know, I've never really gotten how it's OK for Xander to be involved
with a woman over 1000, and Buffy to date guys past the century mark,
but not someone in his 40s.

*-*-*-*-*-*

I hated the Anya/Xander ship from the very start (a poor copy of the funny Cordelia/Xander ship that became a massive sucky black hole where lazy ass writers dumped Xander when they moved on to their shiny new Riley and (later) Spike toy). As for Buffy/Giles, well, it's a million times better than Buffy/Spike, isn't it?

*-*-*-*-*-*

Any other Dawn pairing (Faith, Xander (ick), and Tara seem
popular) would have to be set in serious AU territory long after
BtVS Season 7/ Angel Season 5.

*-*-*-*-*-*

I can see a season 9 Dawn/Xander ship working (but not before, Xander isn't a sleaze like Spike or Angel).

One happy idea I had was post W/T break up, having B/W and T/X.
