See, I don't think people are giving Faith enough credit. Now that she's out of prison and spent a good three years at hard therapy, I think she'd be a much better partner for Spike than Buffy or Tara or Fred. She's honest and straightforward, knows her own mind, and isn't under the impression that good sex is somehow sinful. Plus, she's been through enough to be able to look at Spike's darkness without blinking, and her own walk on the dark side means she wouldn't pull all that "you're beneath me" crap. Faith's love might be of the tough variety, but IMO that's a thousand times better than Buffy's cold ambivalence.

At least, that's the track Sal and I are taking in Eldorado. In case you were curious.
