Yeah, that is one of the reasons.
And the other reason was because I didn't like the episode. I thought it was a dumb idea and didn't do anything for me.
Yes I do like Anya, but just because I like a character doesn't mean I have to like an episode that features her.
Spike is my favorite character and I didn't like "Hell Bound" at all.
But "Selfless" just didn't do anything for me. I know it was a needed episode for the Xanya relationship, but it took away from the overall story arc. The thing about season 7 that was really shitty was that it should have been JUST like season 4 of Angel. But that is a different rant.
Wow, we finally agree on something.
They should have had Buffy kill her. Then Xander would have been all sad and they could have built something great there.
But they blew that one.
