Yay for getting it right away! I did the exact same thing, sitting in my hot, hot car (eventually turning on the air conditioning) to read before I left the store. And I definitely skipped the Dowling pages to hurry it up.
since I already knew Spike was leaving, that didn't floor me the way it would have if I hadn't know.
Definitely the same for me. I think if I had not known in advance, I would have been really angry about the ending, and it would have seemed very contrived, as opposed to just, 'I see you there puppet masters.' Despite how much the interviews two months ago annoyed me, it helps now to know that they seem to be taking Spike's character development seriously (will he or won't he move on...). Time will tell, I guess, whether that development will seem fitting or contrived.
