I have this love/hate relationship with S6. Part of me adores that season, for all the reasons you listed, plus the whole idea that our inner demons can be even more destructive than the monsters outside of us. I think it's fantastic. I also love the fact that S6 is the season that often sparks so much fantastic fic. I know it was the season that made me want to write.
On the other hand, I hate the fact that the writers went to so much trouble to declare Spike "an evil thing." You see glimpses of the something more he could be (as you said), but I think they largely were against the whole redemption arc, at least without a soul. Dead Things especially just irks me. I've written almost 600 pages trying to work out my issues. :)
