Spike and Angel show would have been fun if they'd let Spike be more equal and have more actual moments of...doing stuff. The snark and whatnot was fun but he needed to be more than window dressing.
I think it really showed that they found out they were being cancelled and just sort of...lost all their energy. The writers, i mean.
Yes, the Spuffy was bad, bad, bad. I actually love the idea of them being friends and warriors together - i love how he tried to take care of her when she got ressurected and how she turned to him for help and calm. And then - Jayzus. He becomes this spineless, mindless...gah! Loathesome.
I do think Spike was different and Dru had a lot to do with it - all to the good, 'cause it makes him more interesting. And i dunno about you, but i'd kill anything - or try to - that was trying to kill me.
I did hate the whole chip business. It was warped and Buffy's bully nature really came out when she was around him. It's like declawing tigers or something. Disgusting.
I'm sure Spike did his share of killing. I don't think he was as into the torture and maim aspect of it as Angelus was. But he was no saint. Sorta the point, if you ask me.
I don't think i've seen the ep you're talking about. I'll be sure and pay attention, though. Heh. I think the whole 'redemption' thing was bollocks. If Angelus or Spike had no soul, then why would the soul, when it was 'returned' be penelized for what the demon did? To me, that was stupid. Spike and Angel's souls were innocent. They may have felt remorse and wanted to make up for what the demon did, but the souls themselves were free of the actions the demon carried out. In my opinion, of course.
Another reason to write fafic! To change the stuff you loathed about the show. Heh. Or that made no damn sense.
