I was watching the first half of season 4 a while back and I was just shocked at how many times there were details that foreshadowed that Buffy was going to end up with Spike, or that suggested that we should view Spike and Riley as rivals. It's very hard for me to watch season 4 and believe that Joss didn't have big plans for Spike -- massive cognitive dissonance.
Thanks for the tidbit of supporting evidence. Someday I'll put up a post with all those things that caught my eye, but it probably won't be too soon.
In any case, if it really was an accident, we are still entitled to read the text we have, and that text supports my reading!
