OH the spell must be affecting a claim

i like it! can't wait for more.

I like that last part - It always seemed odd to me how Spike was abnormally "bound" to Buffy. He abruptly went from kicking her her ass and nearly killing her (and succeeding if not for outside intervention to save Buffy) to turning around and getting his ass kicked by her on a regular basis. WtF? I got how Spike was the "Slayer of Slayers" with how he was in S2 but after that - nothing, even before the chip that he never bother getting out. (Half-assed attempts by locals in a small town don't count - Wolfram and Hart would have gladly removed the chip to have Angel thrown off by Spike killing Buffy, and that's just one of a thousand ways to get rid of that chip - I would have simply burned it out using a simple EM pulse/field that can be made easily and has no possiblity of causing Spike any harm whatsoever) Have I mentioned how simple logic and common sense drive me crazy when I watch TV?

Another excellent update.
