Spike/Anya really brings out the douchiness in Xander, doesn't it? I mean, I love the character, I really do, but holy inappropriate reaction, batman! I was seriously ready to punch him in some of those scenes. I generally forgive him pretty easily for the left-my-favorite-character-at-the-altar thing, but seriously. Such an asshole.
I was also startled by Tara's death, even warned about it ages and ages in advance. I also never found it to be homophobic, despite some of the tropes in play here. I may be the only person who feels this way, but it all seemed very real and true to character.
As for Angel ... yeahh, good things don't happen too much on this show, do they? We did get Wes/Lilah out of it, though, which I love with all my shriveled little heart. Which probably says something about me
