I understand what you're saying about Xander's progression into adulthood and subsequent maturation. And I think I see why you would view Xander as equally powerful or more powerful than Spike. But in contemplating this, I kept coming back to the premise and wanted to ask - precisely how would you define an "equal" relationship? Equal in what terms and in what manner precisely? And conversely, what precisely would make an unequal relationship?
