Subject: Spike Doesn't Understand?
In reply to: Ramses 2 's message, "I think the pissing match was there to set up" on 10:52:15 08/13/05 Sat

"Why is this important you ask? Hasn't got a damn thing to do with Wood, not really....but it sets up Spike not believing Buffy in the end. And it sets up the transformation of the Slayer.(Yes, it's still all about Buffy) She's changed. The line's changed. She can, unlike Nikki, finally put love totally guilt free first...the problem? She's changed, Spike doesn't understand."


And why doesn't Spike understand? Not because he has an old fashioned view of Slayers. He doesn't understand because he continues to be wracked by self-doubt and insecurity. That has always been Spike's number one problem. He was always insecure. Which would explain why up to "Destiny", Angel was always able to kick his ass. This would also explain why (along with seeing Buffy kiss Angel) he believed that Buffy never loved him . . . despite her attempt to tell him how she felt before her reunion with Angel in "End of Days". And this insecurity also explains how a die-hard non-conformist such as Spike seemed to have this great need to be part of a "gang" or a group of friends. He was insecure . . . and he was afraid to be alone.
