Bloody oath! I swear, I thought I was the only person on the planet who saw this! Thank you everyone, for showing me I'm wrong. I bitterly bitterly hate this scene and its implications. So she can beat the crap out of him, she can say no and mean yes, over and over and over again, and that's okay. And he's supposed to be a mindreader now and know that this time no means no? Bullshit. For me it kind of ties in with the Spike/Willow scene where he goes to bite/drink her and can't perform because of the chip, and it ends up being played for laughs. Now I do laugh at that scene, but at the same time ...

Anyhow. Yay for not being the only one who sees that bathroom scene as profoundly disturbing, and the whole Buffy sainthood thing off, and yes, Xander being repulsive. But then I mostly found him repulsve from go to whoah.
