And why would Petrie have been upset about rewriting Spike in a positive light wrt the Beneath You ending. I imagine all the writers were briefed that Spike was going to be in a redemption arc by season's end, no?

And I shot Bennett in the head because it's funny.
Myself I still think it's an awesome explanation.

Maybe he wasn't, I've never heard that story before. In fact I don't believe that Joss did a "re-write" for the end of Beneath You. My understanding back when I'd just finished watching season 7 and was was reading everything I could find on it, was that Joss and Petrie tinkered with the dialog, but it was collaborative and done because Joss wanted something Shakespearean, for that segment.
What Joss did was a re-shoot, because the director wasn't getting the visual he wanted, for the chapel scene.
Some of these claims should have references, because someone is talking about a writer's integrity, and relationships between people who worked together for years.

No harm done really, just let them bask ;) I think they deserve it.

Maybe someone else can provide links to where this was said. It's a bit early for me.Here's James Marsters talking about the re-writing process of the final Beneath You scene.

I sometimes forget that Dead Things is not universally hailed as his Buffyverse masterpiece.
(And no Villains for Marti? Sigh. I do like seeing the uneven but hugely entertaining Grave listed as one of Fury's best though.)
