• Spike's the best thing on television these days, exciting, intense, sexy, smart, sarcastic, erotic, bad, sensitive, you name it, he's got it. Last night's episode was a rerun from earlier in the season, but it was one of the best episodes ever, lots of hot hot Spike stuff, and then that ending, wow. Funny you should bring this up, I was just in the middle of rewatching it:) (NT) -- Elisa, 13:54:39 03/14/01 Wed

• Oh please tell me what happened? I never see the show because that's kiddie time.... I love Spike, but I'm kind of bugged that they took away his "bite". I liked that he was dangerous, now he's just de-clawed. AND isn't the actor supposed to be leaving? (NT) -- Cabbie Esq, 13:55:36 03/14/01 Wed
  • Buffy went to Spike because he killed two slayers in the last century and she wanted to know how he did it or what the slayers did wrong that caused them to lose the fights. We got to see lots of Spike history, the fights in which he killed the slayers, a real hot scene with Drucilla, wow, and lots of real good dialogue and intensity between Spike and Buffy. He almost kissed her and then she told him he was beneath her. Ouch. (NT) -- Elisa, 14:05:04 03/14/01 Wed
  • Then he got a shotgun and went to her house to kill her. Found her on her porch, crying. He put down the gun and sat next to her. You'd have to see it to appreciate it. Great show. Great ending. (NT) -- Elisa, 14:07:03 03/14/01 Wed
  • I hate it that they put a chip in his head so he couldn't bite. The second half of last year was awful because of it. Just Spike standing around feeling sorry for himself. But this year Spike is doing a lot more, and the whole Buffy fixation is really making things more exciting. I have no idea if James Marsters is leaving the show. Hope not, since Spike's the only thing on TV I look forward to anymore. (NT) -- Elisa, 14:13:28 03/14/01 Wed
  • That chip thing bothers me because part of Spike's appeal is the anticipation of badness, and the will he or won't he, just like with Todd. If Spike CAN'T bite, it takes the anticipation away, and it takes away the significance of the times he chooses NOT to bite. I'd much rather see him able to bite but choosing not to sometimes, and being unable to resist at other times. I'm not into the concept of fixing characters to begin with, so fixing a sci-fi vampire is definitely not my thing. (NT) -- Elisa, 14:33:20 03/14/01 Wed
    • Oh thank you so much, Elisa. I'm going to have to borrow a tape from someone - my babysitter is a Spike/Buffy fanatic. Grrr... I wish I'd seen last night's show. Sounds so yummy. (NT) -- Cabbie Esq, 18:10:01 03/14/01 Wed
  • I have to agree, Cabbie!!! This show is so juvenile!! This show is supposed to be written in the "horror" genre, but when was the last time it scared you!!! And now their ruining the only character I liked--Spike!!! Turning him into another ANGEL!!! (NT) -- TROG42, 13:01:51 03/15/01 Thu
    • Trog, well, I still love Spike, but the chip thing takes a lot away, including the scariness. I want Spike scary, as well as hot, fun, sarcastic, exciting. De-vamping the vamps, whether it be that they're cursed with a soul or stuck with a government chip in their heads, either way they're not vampires anymore, so what's the point? I'd much rather see the vampire sometimes biting, sometimes resisting the urge, and Buffy struggling with her attraction to a REAL vampire than a de-vamped one. (NT) -- Elisa, 13:40:44 03/15/01 Thu
      • Hi Elisa, ITA about Spike & chip. I'm ready for IT to be removed NOW that Spike has grown feelings & his character has grown so far. I'd far prefer watching him CONTROL his vampire instincts w/those he cares for than be controlled. (NT) -- Pilar, 06:04:04 03/16/01 Fri

• Wow Elisa...you ..er..slay me!!...LOL.I must be a witch Elisa, to KNOW that you were watching that particular episode. Actually, I never get to see it live, as often as I'd like(yick..work nights, and my vcr is possessed), anyway, I hadn't realized that it was a rerun, but appreciated it non the less. All these adjectives that describe Spike....hmmmmm.....could it possibly describe any character we know on daytime?..or at least used to know?...LOL (NT) -- Ginger, 17:21:20 03/14/01 Wed

• Cabbie..what Elisa said about.having to see the look on Spike's face. Please..please..please don't tell me he's leaving.No La femme..now no Spike!! Yike!! (NT) -- Ginger, 17:24:11 03/14/01 Wed

• Spike and Buffy are da bomb : ) her dullsville cardboard boyfriend was boring me senseless. This season was so much better than last season and all that governent stuff (Lindsey Crouse was good though). Anyhow, Spike and Buffy are the best thing to spice up the show in years!! I do agree with Elisa about the chip. It is sort of defanging Spike. When RH got annoying, it was JM/Spike that became my new screensaver : ) PS Hi Ginger!! (NT) -- Ophelia, 21:14:02 03/14/01 Wed
  • Ophelia, ICAM, Riley bored me to tears, as did entire "innitiative" mess. So glad, JW got back on track to focus on slayer powers, what makes Buffy TICK is great as it ties into Spike in some ways understanding a slayer BETTER than Giles or anyone else. That whole "death wish" insights was fascinating especially NOW as Buffy has to face REAL death of someone she loves, her mom. What a heartbreaking episode. (NT) -- Pilar, 06:07:30 03/16/01 Fri
    • As for "vamps w/souls," in early years I found Angel's story more compelling than Buffy's for he WAS repeatedly tempted by his own instincts. Plus, Angel was NEVER tamed like Spike, he still had a major dark side that got unleashed. In fact, HATED Angel series UNTIL recently when the whole Darla temptation of Angel arc began, way cool. Especially scene w/Darla furious that sleeping w/HER didn't trigger curse of Angelous like it did with Buffy. True happiness continues to elude my tragic Angel. (NT) -- Pilar, 06:11:34 03/16/01 Fri
      • Sure, I think Spike's sarcasm is often as hilarious as Todd's quips. However, for me at least, Angel is far close to Todd character, tragic & raging at his fate, searching for redemption, and wanting a little taste of “elusive” happiness to call his own… yet often giving into the dark power within! Yep, I see lots of Todd in Angel, including recently when BOTH displayed “pussy whipped” tendencies, though Angel kicked this BAD HABIT, hopefully Todd will too! *VBEG (NT) -- Pilar, 06:16:48 03/16/01 Fri
