Why being spoiler-free is a good thing

- wasn't spoiled for anything in Hell's Bell's (apart from the hideous bridesmaids' dresses), and was quite in suspense about the wedding going ahead, and was truly surprised when it didn't.
- I've never found Xander and Anya particularly interesting as a couple, and I found his declaration of love for her in the S5 ep where Riley left pretty much out of left field. But despite this, I was rooting for them to get married, and was sad for both of them when it didn't happen.
- Loved the scenes between Xander and Willow, Xander and Buffy, and the Willow and Tara flirting.
- Nice to see Buffy and Spike being honest and slightly more mature.

- Angel was ok, but too much running around, going over the same stuff, un-necessarily padding the episode.
- SanJan was funny, but the revelation of his motivations was slightly lame, and a let-down.
- Fred didn't annoy me much in this ep, and neither did Fred-n-Gunn. Liked Gunn sticking up for Wes.
- Liked the deus ex mach...I mean little girl in the White Room.
- David Boreanz did quite well in this ep, particularly about not calling Cordelia, and in the final scene with Wes.
- And as for the final scene...if I hadn't been spoilt somewhat I think I would have fallen out of bed. Very well done.
