Giles popping in on Wood and Buffy, with his complaints about the library computers is a funny reminder of I, Robot -- You, Jane, all the way back in season 1.
Spike telling Wood that he's now acting by his own free will -- and that he wanted Wood to know that as he now kills him -- is a cool moment (that resembles Angel's similar comments to Wesley at the hospital) that turned into a cheap gimmick.

 Buffy Phenomenon -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer Characters Ranked by Contribution to Episode Quality
Principal Snyder benefits the most from the episodes that he misses than from his contribution to the episodes in which he appears.
Of the nine episodes in which he has the fewest lines, only two are in the bottom 35 and three are in the top 50 with two, "Restless" and "Fool for Love," in the top 20.
Wood is probably hurt the most by his absence in popular seventh season episodes "Conversations with Dead People" and "Selfless." He did not help himself by talking a lot in the unpopular "First Date" and "Get It Done." He did manage to stay out of "Sleeper," "Potential," and "The Killer in Me."

It is specifically used to refer to a form of torture or corporal punishment which consists of beating the soles of the offender's bare feet with a hard object, like a cane or rod, a club, a piece of wood, or a whip.
