Bub, I think you've hit the nail right on the head. What you said makes so much sense. I think that James cares more about making sure he doesn't send the wrong message than he does about sending the right one. Does that make sense? Someone said on BAPS earlier that Buffy is still viewed as a teen show and therefore a lot of the audience is perceived as younger and impressionable. If it were targeted to an older audience, as happens with soap operas, then perhaps his interpretation of Spike might be different.
