Hah - when you wrote "in which my BtVS/AtS issues come out to play," I immediately thought, "Oh ho -- yet another person who is pleased that the Spike-ish character [Martha] does not stand around until the end of time pining after the main character who will never return her feelings because he's still got it bad for her exalted predecessor. At least Davies and his pals know that unrelenting romantic masochism in a story can make one hate the love object and lose respect for the one who does the unrequited loving."
Your reasons for loving DW are much more lofty and on point, of course. I'm still like a dog with a bone where certain things are concerned, though (thanks a lot, Whedon), and thus I'm very glad Davies and co. aren't into boring, ridiculous hackneyed love triangles.
