Before going on to 45th: you certainly master their sexual relation, the anguish and the sexual healing, but you certainly don't indulge in it! You took to heart the cutting any extras as not essential, therefore excessive (had them in a house with pool and ocean, no nightswimming?). You could have played with this last version of Spike a little bit longer, but you didn't need it to tell your story, so off they go to the next wild ride. I'm telling you, I feel overwhelmed on behalf of Buffy, looks like she has to start all over again, and this Spike may be more complex than the others. I liked the inclusion of the other characters, especially the memories being sparked by Dawn, and I'm still seeing the tiny cell screen being her beacon in the dark. (Riccadonna)
