I alternate but my family drinks it at once after the meal. I found that slightly weird, but I guess it's normal.

Movies such as Bodies Bodies Bodies, All My Friends Hate Me, Clue, The Last Supper, Cabin in the Woods and The Invitation (2015): comedy (minus The Invitation), one group in mostly one intimate setting, and then a murder or something occurs.

Saw a comment that said Spike initiated the incestuous subtext between him and his mom by biting and turning her, which is usually taboo in vampire fiction. I don't know how much of that is true. Thoughts?

Did the sacrifice require virgins? If so, how did they know Buffy and Cordelia were virgins? I wouldn't automatically assume that just because they're in highschool, especially cause they seemed the popular type.

If either pre or post Seeing Red, Spike had come up and said he realized he needs a soul to be worthy of her, or for her to accept him or something along those lines, so he's going to Africa get one, how would she react?

Today for instance I was in UNI class and a group was enthusiastically talking about a movie I've watched. Then, it got quiet and after 20 minutes of me trying to build up the courage, I turned to one of the girls, who is probably the most sympathetic/extroverted in class, and asked if she likes this genre, what movies of this genre she likes, "oh I want to watch that movie too, only read the book, have you ever read it?" She was polite and smiled, but didn't ask me anything in return, and the interaction ended almost immediately.

That has happened to me quite a few times, and it's quite discouraging to be wondering what I did wrong.

In early S5, they are planting the seeds to the fracture in Buffy and Riley's relationship, and it seems one of the seeds is Buffy slaying by herself: in Buffy vs Dracula, she is sneaking off while he sleeps, and in Out of My Mind she is displeased with him showing up at the cemetery. But why is it bad that Buffy wants to have something just for herself as she is coming into her power? I would've thought it was fairly healthy for two people in a relationship to want time alone for their own hobbies (just an example). Or was it reinforcing the idea that she can't be satisfied with a human boyfriend that can't keep up?

I don't believe Buffy loved Riley in all caps, but I believe she was getting there. The night Joyce came home safe from surgery, for instance, the first thing Buffy did was take the time to have a romantic night with Riley and she opened up about the walls she put up when Joyce was sick. "Oh, I cried. I cried so hard, I didn't think I was gonna be able to stop." Multiple episode showed us she is aware of how she pulls away from people, but, if she didn't have the trauma of dying and coming back, I believe she would've surpassed that with Riley and loved him. And honestly, she was only 20 and they were not dating for that long, and Riley wanted to get married as soon as possible. He is the one impulsive one.
