Some season 7 thoughts
This post started out as a coment to a post on lj...

I think a couple of threads got dropped in Season 7. I think they started writing w/o knowing 100% whether SMG would come back or whether there would be a season 8 etc.(Remember when we were promised a lighter, happier season 7? Poppycock!) So they started little threads with Anya and Dawn and even Xander that were never fulfilled. They started a couple of times to talk about things like why the FE was coming after them NOW or what it's plans for Spike were. Then they realized they needed to wrap all this up so some of the details were never realized. (That thing with all the eyes... what up there?)

Anyway... I think that Spike was drawn to the hellmouth b/c that's where the FE was. But more importantly, I think that originally there was a reason Spike was drawn to the FE (or that the FE was drawing him).

Here's my little bitty opinion (that bertie hates): I think it was because Spike went out and got himself a soul. I think Spike caused some sort of fundamental shift in the balance between good and evil (remember the many-eyed thingy said whatever it was wouldn't have happened if Buffy hadn't been brought back, and the FE said something about not wanting the balance anymore...) and the FE took advantage of the disruption. I was sure that the end of the season was going to have Spike choosing to give up his soul to save the world or something. I also think that this is the reason the FE was so obsessed with Spike rather than just killing him.

Well. Okay. End rant.
