Transcript by OP

[fscom]

When I first watched it, I found this scene shocking, upsetting...and also completely in character. Despite being a big Spike fan, a thing like this happening felt almost inevitable, given their issues.

But my fandom friends insisted it was bad writing: horribly OOC, a gratuitous shock, to be ignored. And I thought they must know better than I did.

Finally coming back to it as an adult, I'm back to my first take. I don't know if that's controversial these days. And I don't care anymore. But I am still a bit embarrassed at how easily I let myself by swayed by fandom consensus.
