In which Buffy or Angel season did you like Spike the best? I love him in every season, but I'll go with BTVS season 2&4&5, because I like him the best when he's bad He was bad in Season 5? I love this quote by Joss: "I always, always thought [Spike] was a good guy, even when he was a bad guy." I'd always thought he had it in him, too. You know what I mean... He didn't have a soul in season 5. And I agree with that

In which Buffy or Angel season did you like Spike the best? Season 2.
What's your favorite Spike-centric episode or comic issue? School Hard, does that count?
What's your favorite Spike-centric 'ship? I'm really liking Spike & Spider.
Who do you think are the most influential people in Spike's life? Well I would have to go with Buffy, after he received his soul. And before that... I would say Drusilla.

Lovely Essay, Emmie. Thanks so much for posting that. It really does hit on a lot of why we love Spike, this complex character who did change from a simple baddie to real, feeling human being.

I'm a Spike fangirl and so's my boyfriend. I'm singing "Rest In Peace" for the school concert. (I'll post a recording if you swear not to laugh.)
In which Buffy or Angel season did you like Spike the best? Buffy Season 5, with the unrequited love, and the big-brotherness towards Dawn.
What's your favourite Spike-centric episode or comic issue? I'm gonna say Lover's Walk. Drunk, morose Spike has a huge d'aww factor for me.
What's your favourite Spike-centric 'ship? I dunno. I love Sprusilla just as much as Spuffy, sometimes. But probably Spuffy.
Who do you think are the most influential people in Spike's life? Buffy and Drusilla, no question about it. And perhaps, Cecily. Without her, there never would have been a Spike.
What would you change about his current arc in Angel: After the Fall and Spike: After the Fall? Haven't read the comics. >.>

Spike is one of my favourite characters. He was the reason I started watching Angel and Buffy. I love his character developments throughout the entire series, going from badass villian at the start to Champion at the end and his insults to people always make me laugh. I love watching him best in Angel Season 5 and out of his relationships, Spillyria and Spuffy are my favourite. Overall, Spike's awesome

Spike is my absolute favourite character in the series. I love his journey from Big Bad to chipped!vampire to in love with Buffy to souled vampire. I just love his character In which Buffy or Angel season did you like Spike the best?I have to choose? I love season four Snarky Spike, season five unrequited-love Spike, season seven souled Spike... I love all Spikes haha What's your favourite Spike-centric episode or comic issue?Fool For Love. I think I'd count that as my favourite overall episode, too. What's your favourite Spike-centric 'ship?Spuffy! There is no other! Although I do love the Spike-Dawn friendship and hate that it got kinda stalled and put on the backburner after Bargaining in S6. But NEVER Spawn *shudder* Who do you think are the most influential people in Spike's life?Drusilla, Buffy and Angel(us). Dru, because she made him a vamp, brought him to that life - but I think Angel(us) acted more like his Sire than she did. He says in School Hard that Angel was like his yoda, and we see in FFL Angelus getting at Spike for doing things wrong. So I think Angelus must have had a huge influence on his early vamp years. Then Buffy, obviously. He changed his whole existence because he loved her, that's pretty influential. What would you change about his current arc in Angel: After the Fall and Spike: After the Fall?I've not read it, though I've heard bits and pieces. Spuffy shipper that I am, I'd have her find out Spike's alive

Ok, I am so in this club!!!! The 'Out for a Walk Bitch' is one of my all time favorite Spike lines, up there with: 'Randy Giles? What not just call me Horny Giles or desperate for a shag Giles! I knew there was a reason I hated you,"
I'd have to say my favorite Spike was in season 2 and 4 because I do like him when he's tougher (and younger, even though James is still pretty hot today). He'll always be a good guy in my opinion because he's one of the few vamps we've met in the series that truly seemed to feel love. Heck, Angel said he loved Buffy but he left her. Spike went out and got a soul for her! That's dedication if I've ever heard it.

God, love everything about Spike. He is and has always been my favorite character in the 'verse.
I love him in his nerdy poetry-reading days, I love him as an evil soulless vampire, I love him and Dru, I love him chasing after Buffy making "moon-eyes", I love him crying for her, "trying to save her every night". I love how he protected Dawn even though there was nothing in it for him. I love how without a soul he still had the capacity to love. I love him crazy in the basement, and with a soul.
I love the endlessly fascinating complexity of Spuffy. I love how he was what Buffy needed when she believed he was the last thing she needed. I love how it was love for his enemy that inspired him to want to be a better man for her, to be the "kind of man she deserves". I love the real affection, mutual trust, and friendship he develops with Buffy in the end.
I love the undeniable chemistry he has with almost every other character on the show.
Most of all, I love him en-souled, willing to give up anything and everything to defend Buffy and her honor. Willing to fight to the end, with no concern for himself. Not so she would love him, but because she believed in him.
Spike goes out saving the world. He not only goes out in a blaze of glory willingly, but with what James Marsters called Spike's ability to "find glee in all the wrong things." Spike is brave, and funny, and gets all the best lines ("I may be loves bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it!"..."A bear? You made a bear! Undo it! Undo it!"..."I must be a noble vampire. A good guy. On a mission of redemption. I help the hopeless. I'm a vampire with a soul!") Spike is beautiful, and attractive, and James plays the part perfectly. I love all his Spikeisms; his head tilts, his eye-brow lifts, his coy smiles, all of his "bloody hells".
Spike is smart, sharp, full of keen wit that he can pull out on a dime with moments notice. I love the little things that define his character: his love for those onion flower things, his chain-smoking, his signature swaggering, his love for his duster, his stubborn pride.
I love how Spike is a paradox in the vampire world. I love how he embraces elements of humanity such as love and devotion, and even without a soul, he shows strong character in honor and loyalty, such as when he attempts to leave flowers for Joyce.
I love Spike's ability to move on with his life, accept his mistakes, and learn from them.
I love his sense of humor, his snarkiness that often gets him in trouble. I love his gambling and drinking habits.
As Buffy says, "You faced the monster in you, and you fought back. You risked everything so you could be a better man. And you can be. You are. You may not see it, but I do." I love how much Buffy has faith in him when no one else does.
I love his love of brawl. Of carnage and violence. His delight he gets in causing chaos. I love how excited he gets at the concept of wreaking havoc, causing a scene.
I love his tendency to nickname people.
I love that, in contrast to Angel, his personality remains somewhat the same with or without a soul.
Spike is my hero. He redeemed himself in a different way than Angel, but he's just as worth admiring.

In which Buffy or Angel season did you like Spike the best? Probobly Buffy S6. It kills me how badly Buffy treated him. I know the reasons why -she was hurting him to punish herself - but it really still bothers me. He loved her so much he was willing to allow her to take her self-hatred out on him, to allow himself to be her punching bag.
What's your favourite Spike-centric episode or comic issue? Crush, Something Blue, LMPTM, or Fool For Love.
What's your favourite Spike-centric 'ship? Spuffy, hands down. I find their relationship endlessly fascinating.
Who do you think are the most influential people in Spike's life? Buffy. It was his love for her that inspired him to be a better man. Runner-up would be Angel. After all, he taught him everything he knew.
What would you change about his current arc in Angel: After the Fall and Spike: After the Fall? Can't say. I have not read the Angel comics.

I just love his character I could not have said this better myself. Spike goes through an incredible journey thoughout the show, but he never loses his charm or likeability.

THANK YOU! When is this ever going to happen? I would think that Andrew would have spilled the beans by now. I thought the same thing. There is no way that Andrew would be able to keep such a big thing a secret for so long. Buffy needs to find out NOW!!!

I agree. She needs to know. There's no way they can keep this hidden from Buffy for any longer, writers or characters. It needs to be addressed and she needs to know that he's alive

Definitely belong in this club.
In which Buffy or Angel season did you like Spike the best? Season 2.
What's your favourite Spike-centric episode or comic issue? Something Blue. It makes me laugh so hard. I also love Becoming Part 2, when Spike temporarily teams up with Buffy, and then they try to convince her mother that they're in a rock band. I got the sense that there would definitely be more Buffy/Spike moments down the road.
What's your favourite Spike-centric 'ship? I was always a Sprusilla kind of gal, even though I love Spuffy too. But really, it's too hard to choose! As with any character coupling, they all have their special moments. Spike gets to be protector and big brother to Dawn, which is a nice side to see. Oh, and what about Spike and Harmony? I never liked Harmony, but even so, it pained me to watch her get her heart broken.
