Well, I only need one sentence to sum up exactly how I felt about "Lies":

This episode completely disgusted me.

AND I read spoilers beforehand, so I knew a lot of this stuff was going to 
happen.

I have a tonne of problems with this episode, but I think I'll stick to just 
a few main ones.

1) Giles. Betraying Buffy. Again. WTF? I honestly don't think he could 
have been more out of character this episode than ever. He may not agree 
with Buffy's decisions, but after the consequences of his last betrayal in 
Season 3, I doubt he would go through it again. And he definitely wouldn't 
be convinced by Robin Wood of all people. I mean, he barely even knows the 
guy. He met him once, maybe twice. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy the 
betrayal.

2) Buffy. Willing to let Dawn die. Another thing I don't buy. She gave 
her life to allow Dawn to live and now she's willing to sacrifice her. And 
even if she is, the only person she won't sacrifice is captain peroxide?

Exhibit A: Buffy wastes no time in labelling Anya a killer and dangerous, 
even though Anya has a soul AND is way more human than Spike could ever be. 
But no, Buffy goes after her without a second thought and tries to kill her 
right away, even though they had been friends.

Exhibit B: Spike kills people. Buffy defends him. Spike attempted to rape 
Buffy. Buffy lets bygones be bygones and defends him. Spike is triggered 
by the First and the First says it is going to use him later. Buffy defends 
him. Giles proves that Spike is dangerous and when Spike is triggered, he 
tries to kill Buffy. Buffy STILL defends AND unchains him.

I'm sorry...but there is no excuse for the EXTREMELY OOC Buffy this Season 
and in Season 6. Even SMG thought that Buffy was way OOC last Season with 
Spike and said that she disliked a couple of the episodes because they just 
didn't portray Buffy correctly. I don't understand why people think James 
Marsters is hot, I personally don't think he's anything special. And after 
all the heartache they put Buffy and Angel through in Season 3 to show that 
she could never be with a vampire is being thrown out the window.

The only reason I will continue to watch is to hopefully see Spike die at 
the end. I don't care if Buffy confesses her love to him or if he dies 
'heroically' (cause no matter what, he'll never be a hero in my books), just 
as long as he fucking DIES! If he dies, then I will be happy because I 
don't think there is anything else I can really hope for. See you all on 
the flip-side and let's hope for a Willow spinoff where there is no Spike 
ever, EVER AGAIN!
