And Angel came back every now and then. I'm not naively squeeing for a Spuffy4ever reunion. Just that he's acknowledged. I think that's more than fair. I'm a bit puzzled by the extreme cynicism regarding Spike and Joss. Why?
And Joss is aware of the power of the shipping aspects of the story. It's some of the most popular questions he gets at every event - Spike or Angel? Angel or Spike? Who will Buffy end up with? To say he's unaware after being asked this question for years is being blind to the story he himself crafted. All those scenes he wrote for Spike and Buffy (the end of Beneath You, the end of Chosen, the kiss in OMWF) - Joss has written most of those iconic Spuffy moments. To say he's suddenly unaware of his own story seems a bit ludicrous.
Again, I don't really understand the extreme cynicism with Joss. It reminds me of some fans who stopped watching after Season 3 because Buffy and Angel broke up. Or if they did continue to watch, they ranted about how Joss had corrupted the story by keeping them apart. What is this phenomenon where you love the 'verse but hate the creator? To me they're one and the same. I love BUFFY and I'm thankful to Joss for creating it. I'm thankful for Season 8 and how it's revitalized the fandom.
