I found Spike a little annoying with his "you were right, they were wrong" puppy dog act. Buffy's guess was right, her plan (frontal attack on the winery) was ridiculously stupid. He was absolutely right about how he follows his blood. I didn't like Buffy the home invader, either. I'm hoping that this is the last we've seen of Buffy acting so reckless, careless, thoughtless.The Dawn-reading-ancient-languages thing is also pretty far-fetched. It doesn't fit her character at all. So she reads Turkish and what was the other one, ancient Sumerian? It smacks to me of poor writing. "I don't know what to do with this character, so I'll just have them do this, even though it doesn't fit the character at all."I'm looking forward to seeing Angel show up next week. He better play a pivotal role in the finale, to tie into that episode of Angel way back where he regains his humanity, but gives it up so that he can help Buffy when she'll need it. Otherwise, it kind of invalidates one of the best Buffy-Angel episodes ever.</blockquote>
