ICYMI: BuffyTheVampireSlayer star JamesMarsters discusses filming S06E19 'Seeing Red' & that controversial scene between Spike & BuffySummers. / BTVS Buffy

has been kind enough to discuss the ground-breaking series in honor of the series finale's anniversary. For this go-around, Marters shares his thoughts on what might be the most controversial moment in the series.

In S06E19"Seeing Red," A wounded Buffy returns home to heal only to be interrupted by an uninvited Spike, who attempts to convince Buffy that she loves him and that she just needed to admit it to herself. When Buffy protests, Spike's reactions turn violent, and Buffy is barely able to defend herself from his rape attempt.

"That was the crushing experience that she wanted to write about. I think that, because Buffy is a superhero and was fully capable of throwing Spike through a wall, they could flip the sexes. The point I was trying to make when I read that script was everyone who watches 'Buffy' is Buffy, that's the trick of storytelling…when I watch 'Buffy,' I'm Buffy. And the people out there watching 'Buffy' aren't superheroes. So I'm gonna be doing this to them.
