- Quotes
Buffy Summers: How did you do it? How'd you get your soul back?
Spike: Saw a man about a girl... I went to seek a legend out. Traveled to the other side of the world, made a deal with a demon.
Buffy Summers: Just like that?
Spike: No, not just like that. There was a price. There were trials. Torture. Pain and suffering... of sorts.
Buffy Summers: Of sorts?
Spike: Well, it's all relative, innit?
Buffy Summers: Meaning?
Spike: Meaning I have come to redefine the words "pain" and "suffering" since I fell in love with you.
Buffy Summers: How can you say that?
Spike: Apparently, I just slaughtered half of Sunnydale, pet. I'm not really worried about being polite anymore.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Angel: Lineage (2003)
A few obvious flaws in the show's writing: vampires coming out of the grave the day after they're sired, as if people are always buried the day they die. The show avoids answering if God is real or not, with Buffy saying it's not certain, yet there are demons and this episode seemed to reference Satan, if only obliquely. You'd think if Satan and demons were real, God would be. The writers should've thought this all through before making the series. In vampiry mythology, you'd think if holy water and crucifixes hurt vampires, then Christianity would be true. This almost never seems to be the case in the genre. A bit weird. This reviewer isn't religious at all. It's just that the whole thing is inconsistent.
