he’ll set up Spuffy on a grand scale only to knock it down in a horrible fashion,
I think it was season 6: from OMWF to SR. That said, recently Joss started recycling his storylines (another Dark!Willow twist in s8), so everything is possible.
My only problem with Spuffy in season 9 is that I don't see any base for a real, juicy conflict between B&S. A global conflict. Unlike Angel, Spike won't be pondering upon "Buffy or the world" question. He'll choose Buffy without hesitation.
I can see small, soap-opera conflicts, like Spike visiting Angel and Buffy getting mad at him, though. This idea has already got explored in "Embers" by Coalitiongirl.
But we all know that Joss loves conflicts of epic proportions. And - he loves to surpass himself. So, either Spike's epic story is done and he'll be turned into the exposition man instead of Giles, or we'd better buckle up and prepare ourselves to major GWA (gut-wrenching angst). And I don't even know what's better.
I try to not take comics seriously. But I know I can't unsee what I saw. So far, so good - Spuffy friendship, Buffy's UST, Spike's cluelessness, their mixed signals. It's too good to last long. Not in Jossverse.
