I am happy with the Spike/Fred stuff too. I don't care if they 'ship them or not (I'm shipping Spike/Anyone Who Will Be Nice To Him, by the way), it's just nice to see someone seem to value him. It's also nice to see that Angel can exchange a half-civil word with him. I don't want to see the two of them fight all season.

What I'm not so happy with is the sneaking feeling I get that we may be stuck with Ghost Spike for a long time, maybe even a whole season. It's okay for a few episodes, but I really, really hate the thought of it being permanent. Spike's such a physical presence.

Still, plenty of good things, including JM in a dress.
