To those who say that Amy Acker is not a hottie, I scoff and point to her title shot in the opening credits. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I enjoyed Spike's apparent betrayal to the Necromancer. The funny thing about the way Marsters plays Spike, is that any betrayals by him are perfectly believable - perhaps it's the deadpan "change-in-a-second" look on his face when he does it. The Necromancer is expecting a hard convincing, and whereas most people might be wary of someone who switched alleigances that quickly, with Spike it works.SO, Buffy's in Europe, huh? With Giles, I guess, or on her own doing the whole "backpack and slay in the mediterranean countryside" thing? Even though she won't be a regular and is doing her own movie thing, it will be good to hopefully see S.M. Gellar on a few cameos.Finally, Spike's revelation about how he's 'slipping', and where he's going: That was not only shocking, it was rough. Having become a steady Spike fan over the past three years, I have to say, that really blows. Murderous past or not, he doesn't deserve that - not after all he's done for the powers that be, and for Angel and the Scoobies. I certainly hope they are not bringing James over to be a one-shot sympathy plot, because I enjoy his character now far too much.I know why he wound up that way (W&H I really think Angel was meant to be the victim here), but it also leaves the HUGE gaping question of why they gave Angel the Amulet back.[/spoiler]All in all, the humor grabs me, the plot keeps me, and I am Joss's slave every Wednesday for an hour. This season has a lot of promise - a lot more than I at first thought. We've got a Dodge Viper with necro-tint, a wise-cracking peroxide-head, Bosses that want us dead as well as makin' a profit, and an hour before sunup.Let's hit it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
