He compares it to the scene between them at the end of Fool For Love, though. So even if it doesn't come nearly as close, it'll still be satisfying. (Jeanty does tend to exaggerate! But he doesn't lie...)
I don't mind if there aren't ever declarations of love in the comics, cathartic as they might be. So far, we have a Buffy who isn't afraid of telling Spike that she appreciates him or that she'd miss him, and we have a Spike who's said on his own that he has feelings for her. If they're going to utterly destroy all of that, it's going to take a lot more than a season (short of the very doubtfully repeated Twangel route). Instead, they're giving us Buffy and Spike, working together on equal footing. I have no problems with that, regardless of whether or not it turns to romance.
