Yep. I'd read the spoilers, but it was still a very powerful episode. I don't believe I'll read the spoilers on the rest of the season, cause... damn. I love this freakin' show.

Tara Dead? That one hit me like a ton of emotional bricks. Even though I heard the rumors, I stayed spoiler-free. Silly me. WOW!
We already know Buffy isn't dying from the previews, but - I still say it - crap. WOW. Unh.
I just knew Tara was going to bite it, if only because they never bothered to put her in the opening credits but with a "featuring" or "also" title. . .
It is bound to be intense.
I also wanted to say that I thought Buffy was going to stake Spike after he tried to rape her. WHen Xander waled in I thought the camera would spin around and show a pile of dust there.
