I loved the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign falling into the crater, but, oh, how I mourn for you, William!)
.....(ok, it's official...i'm through whining about them killing off my darling Spike, since they just zapped him back into being this week on the season 5 premiere of Angel...i'll shut up now, and just say---THANX!!) |
