Decided to rewatch this episode to see if it was as bad as I remember.

It wasn't, but it wasn't really a good episode even still. The episode had a lot of good ideas and started off really solid, it explored areas of Spike's character that not much other episodes have (that is, his relationship with the royal family and how it effects him). Unfortunately, it kind of dropped that approach around the mid point of the episode. Spike abusing his new found power wasn't the problem, that's in-character for him, since his greed has been a character flaw since season 1.

My issue with the episode is I felt like it sacrificed what could've been interesting and solid character development for a few jokes. Some of the jokes were funny, I liked the call back to "A Dog and Pony Show" but I'd rather have had more unique character interactions.
