expecting the exotic

Flipside of the previous: at the beginning of the Buffy episode “The Initiative” (4:7), we see Spike wake up in a strange white room, and he’s translucent: the lines of the floor can be seen through his black coat. No, wait, the lines seen “through” Spike do not match those around him. It’s a reflection of the floor outside his cell.

So I wonder how many viewers, like me, jumped at the exotic interpretation because Spike is a demon.
