Yes, yes, we all know it was a bit odd that Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), sworn enemy of the undead, found love more than once in the arms of the very monsters she was supposed to be killing, but watch her with Spike (James Masters) and it all makes sense. In a world where she was unbeatable, Spike stood up to her. When she was under siege he stood up for her, and when she needed something more, even though it broke his dead heart, he stood aside for her. True love never dies.
