Agreed with Jamie's post, in S5 Buffy they already had signs of a connection growing, like when Buffy and Spike were sitting together at her front porch while she was so shaken up about her mother's illness.
I will never like that Joss went with the AR storyline, I understand the purpose of driving Spike to get a soul, but I wish it was not about sexual assault since it was not really handled that well. I don't think Buffy and Spike could have a proper relationship without him getting his soul back, but that is too heavy of a topic to use as a plot device and then disguard.
