Thereβs a difference between kissing someone and giving them a kiss. She was doing the latter as a thank you.

2022-12-23 22:05:56 +0000 UTCI agree with all of that, but I still don't think she would kiss him. Saying thank you, sure, but I honestly don't believe she would kiss him.

2022-12-23 20:19:25 +0000 UTCLove this episode much more on re-watch than I think I did the first time around, simply because I know to expect the Buffy Bot and now instead of dying inside when she arrives, I am just excited to see her and completely charmed by her over-the-top smiles, that scene in the graveyard where she keeps trying to grab Spike's hand as they're talking to Xander and Anya, her calling Giles "Guy-les", her stomping off to go patrol and saying "Vampires, beware!", its just too funny. SMG clearly had a ton of fun playing a more comedic part -- but also her acting in that final scene never fails to blow my mind, because she so subtlely adjusts her cadence and vibe to show (most obviously on rewatch) that this is RealBuffy pretending to be Robot Buffy. So good!

2022-12-23 18:52:28 +0000 UTCRespectfully disagree that that is out of character for Buffy. I think one of the most important parts of that scene to tell you why Buffy did that was everything she said as she was walking away -- the robot was gross and obscene and wasn't real, but what he did for her and Dawn was real and that she wouldn't forget it. You have every right to not enjoy it, but I think one of Buffy's most admirable qualities is her capacity for understanding and her ability to be emotionally mature even in situations where most people wouldn't (or couldn't) be -- and she is able to rightfully admonish him for his gross behavior AND genuinely acknowledge his good behavior separate from that. I think its a wonderful scene for both their characters.

2022-12-23 18:26:22 +0000 UTCI know the scenes with Spike and the Buffy bot are cringy as hell, but they're too hilarious for me to be mad at.

2022-12-23 18:10:52 +0000 UTCthe kiss at the end is one of the most out of character things Buffy ever does in the entire show. I get that it's exciting for people who shipped them to see that, but I don't think Buffy would have ever done that, even if he didn't tell Glory about Dawn. especially after Crush.
