More thoughts on Buffy

[janus_74]

wisteria_ re-posted a very good write up on Buffys behavior, here. That, and everyone else's discussion got me thinking. And it all boils down to:

Buffy doesn't know Spikes soul is permanent.

We do (don't we?). But for her, only one vampire had a soul. He was cursed with it and it's not the sticky kind. I'm thinking she's distancing herself from Spike, because (in her mind) she can't get close to him again. It would be a repeat of Angel. And really, would you want to be around Spike and not be allowed to touch?

Actually, a happy clause for Spikes soul would make for a pretty neat story. He goes and gets the one thing that would allow her love him, but it's also the one thing that makes it impossible for them to "be" together.


It made perfect sense in my head.
