Shadow has Fake the Snake and Riley being interesting, so it gets points for that. I Was Made to Love You is an episode I've *always* liked, and is in fact one of the *five* eps in S5 that I think is really good, aside from Fool for Love, Intervention, Crush, and Buffy vs. Dracula.

I am looking forward to seeing Buffy's super-pretty hair in S5 (while nearly everyone else looks like shit), and watching Buffy and Spike's arcs play out. It seems like in S5 the writers wanted us to focus mostly on Buffy, Spike, Riley, and Dawn, and I'm THRILLED about the first two and my teeth are already itching thinking about the last two.
