Of the entire series, this performance by James Marsters -- both coming unraveled after accidentally stabbing Ronnie, and that monologue at the end -- might just be the most outstanding solo-ish acting of the whole lot. It's remarkable, and I never get tired of re-watching it.

I have DVD copies, they just don't sync with Juliette's, so Ive gone with Disney Plus, which is what she's watching episodes on. It's a month by month prospect as to if we can afford it right now. I'm really hoping I can watch all the reactions as they're put up though.

I see. I ripped the episodes from my dvd set a while ago to avoid this issue (and to have a non-remastered copy of the show).

Claire Eyles

That's really generous of you, thank you. It's not the Patreon subscription that's the issue though, it's how much it costs for us to keep Disney plus on to be able to sync the episodes.

I'd be more than happy to gift you a subscription for the rest of the season. If you would like me to, let me know where I can send you the link.

I absolutely adore the scene at the end with Buffy and Spike. Just so incredibly well done, one of the highlight scenes in all of Buffyverse for me. I'm hoping I can join you for all of season 7 as you watch it, but it will depend on finances.

You are right to feel good about this season. Will there be highs and lows? You betcha! After all, it is Buffy. Is it the very best of Buffy seasons, maybe not, although I would agrue that it is certainly one of the best. On the whole, I think you will find it to be a very satisfying final season.

Honestly, I didn't feel even remotely bad for Spike on my first viewing. I don't think that Spike got his soul with good intentions, but rather it was the only way that he thought that he had a chance to be with Buffy after what he did to her. In order to start feeling bad for Spike, I need him to convince me that he genuinely wants to atone for everything he did (not just what he did to Buffy). So far, I'm not even convinced that he truly understands the effect of what he did to Buffy because he immediately ran back to Sunnydale instead of giving Buffy time to heal first (even taunting her about it so she would punish him) and he let it slip that he has a soul, torturing Buffy to give her attacker another chance because she's a good person (he tried to hide it at first tbf, but revealing his secret after she rejected him doesn't look good). I won't comment on whether Spike convinces me in the future or not, but I certainly wasn't convinced as of this point in the show.

My reading of the end of Season 6 was Spike very much wanted revenge on Buffy and the soul was not what he expected. He did some vile things, vampire things, and used the chip in is head as an excuse. Even though it brought out his heroism, he fought against it. When it emerged the resurrected Buffy and he were on a level playing field, as far as the chip was concerned, he acts as just another horrible killer. James Marsters showed such charismatic energy I think we forget that. I'm just about to dive into your latest review and looking forward to it. Marsters is about to give us a whole new take on Spike.

Michael, thank you!! As much as this show tries to knock me down, I'm just like that song. I get up again 😅 I still remember back to Hell's Bells and I was DONE. How quickly I forget 🤣

Juliette Gaming

Sounds like a good plan, Kurt! Nice to keep things fresh in your mind 😊😊 New Year will be asleep in bed, unless I get woken up by fireworks hahaha. I hope yours is good, too!

Michael Short

Your positivity is one of the best things about this channel. :)

I'm gonna rewatch S7 as well and also Angel S4 and S5, so I'll catch up with your videos somewhere in February when I'm done with my rewatch, Juliette. Have a great New Year !
