You really should be Doylist - you'd be happier. ;-) (Okay maybe not, better to a bit selective there.)

Whedon's commentary on that section is hilarious.

At any rate - it's hard to take seriously, when it's followed by the cookie dough speech, which is later made fun of to hilarious effect in the Girl in Question. (Most shippers hate that episode, I adore it.) Or withing the context of the entire episode.

I think Buffy loved them both. And seriously, she risked her sister who she died for. There was no way on earth she could have given that speech to Spike. Angel - sort of deserved it and would consider it - because he got her to back of using the same speech.

No - it's best, I've found not to focus on the one tree (or one passage), but on the forest (the whole text), when analyzing text. Less misunderstandings occur. I do it naturally - due to dyslexia.
I always try to look at the whole thing to figure out the context.
When I don't look at the whole picture or story or post, I often screw up.
