Is there a link to your shining moment post, I’d love to read it. Our education systems do seem set up to push that model of life with the emphasis on finals/thesis completion. But whether it would be possible or even desirable to avoid it completely? I don’t know.
And Spike, I think, spent S7 learning to love like a person rather than a Byronic hero but was still very much a work in progress on other fronts by the end. So although giving the hero’s sacrifice to him was a good end to Buffy’s story, I agree it would have been too much of an easy out for his.
