You're so very right when you say Spike is a very layered character. He's such a fascinating and compelling character.

Ah yes, useless Xander, who, by this time has been pivotal in saving the world 3 times.

After Buffy & Spike , Anya is definitely my favourite character in the show .She is so much more entertaining than whiny Willow & useless Xander .

Makes sense that Willow and her family would be extra sensitive to the plight of Native Americans, because they're Jewish.

I have to say, you have one of the most contagious laughs of the reactors I've watched.

yh, absolutely everybody gets that, it isn't really subtext when they state it pretty much out right. It also isn't relevant to the discussion around the fact that Willow acted damn terribly once people started dying.

the subtext is clearly about celebrating Thanks Giving. The metaphors are there. This is a total analysis of my doing and my opinion:
the Thanks Giving tradition is the thing that is actually in danger when confronted with history. Buffy, the all American female blonde is determined to keep the tradition alive while encountering Willow's arguments and the spirits of the indigenous people. They defeat the native Americans' both physically and intellectually (see Spike's perspective) and continue upholding that tradition.

Thanksgiving is a time for families to come together and share what they’re grateful for (right before the most grotesque displays of greed and capitalism on Black Friday), but growing up in the 90’s, the holiday was taught to us as a date to commemorate the shared kindness of Native Americans and Pilgrims as they merged their cultures at a dinner table. (The gruesome genocide was always glossed over.)

Ngl I *love* your love for Spike. Non-spoilery, but the fandom is so divided on his character, and I never was (just on some of the choices made for him occasionally). But I love that you already see all of his layers, srsly. This is gonna be so much fun. 😂❤

Yea like... ultimately Willow is right imo, but the time to fight for that ideal is not while your bff is dying of syphilis.

There is a time and place for compassion, and a time and place for stopping a murderer, regardless of their provocation.

ive no issue with her stance tbh but the imo when a good friend of urs is dying and people are getting killed you put ur feelings to one side and stop the murderer

Spike's face with the final shot is my favorite part of this amazingly funny episode.

It's so much fun watching you crack up at the funny parts of this show.
This episode is weaker to me, but it is still very fun to watch.
"You made a bear!" One of my favorite Spike lines. And I never noticed his expression at the end until you pointed it out. It's hilarious.
