I agree with beer_good_foamy about Illyria re:NFA and I agree with what elisi said above: Seriously though, I don't *want* it to be Fred in that scene. It would make no sense, and cheapen the moment. The fact that this Hellgod, who sees humankind as nothing more than vermin, cares to such an extent that she will fulfill a dying man's dream... that is far more impressive than love.
The arguments are very valid and rationally I agree. I noticed that practically nobody sees the scene the way I see it, but it's still Fred to me.
(Not that I've ever felt Wesley's death very keenly:the scene before that always upsets me too much.)
Yes, I have similar problem with NFA: there are too many shocking developments cramped into a 40-min episode. I remember practically gasping when Lorne shot Lindsey. I was stunned, I was sure that Lindsey is part of the team now. I still am terribly uneasy when I watch the scene.
But, obviously, Joss wanted to shock us as much as possible... :(
