12 Questions About Spike

[willowsummers]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
I felt sorry for and kind of related to Spike before he was turned into a vampire but I loved him as both souless and soul-ful Spike. He always seemed more human even as a vampire than most and I loved his speak the truth, rebel, be my own man sense of humor.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
yes

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Buffy for sure, though you have to admire that he really did love Drusilla.

What was his best moment?
Not telling Glory about Dawn because of what it would mean to Buffy.

What was his lowest moment?
Wearing the Gem of Amara and taunting and beating Buffy. That was awful to watch.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Lies My Parents Told Me, Lover's Walk, Fool For Love, Touched

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
The Harsh Light of Day I would say Seeing Red but some of what he says is so interesting that it is probably my second least favorite.

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
Because he respects her so much and can feel many things that she feels. She is also probably the only kind woman he's ever known and the only one to ever treat him that way, until Fred at least.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
He was obsessed with her from the word go and perhaps in a twisted way, there was always a love because he always respected her.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
I love it!

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
Maybe, given enough time to get over the ways they've hurt each other and all the time that they were different. They definitely have a mutual admiration for each other, at least by the end of Angel at least.

How would you describe Spike?
Strong, brave, completely sure of himself despite the fact that no one else believes in him most of the time, hilariously funny, able to see the truth where others don't, blunt and very sensitive.

[Skytteflickan88]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Spike. Don't really know anything about William.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Hell yeah.

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Harmony, because they were so much fun together. But souled Spike and Buffy should have a couple of dates, to see if it could go anywhere.

What was his best moment?
When he started to save people in season 5 of Angel. I think that's the most selfless he has ever done(what he did in intervention is a close second). When he got his soul, it was to get Buffy, so it's in third place, or something.

What was his lowest moment?
Saying "Why didn't I do it" when he thinks about the attempted rape, and shortly after/before not telling Clem off for mocking Buffy.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Crush

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Seeing Red. I just can't watch that scene.

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
I think a part of is it because he thinks she's better than him, a hero and warrior, and that she's unattainable. Hopefully that's not all.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
He was probably hot for her before he even meet her, with his slayerobbsession and all. That she could kick his ass probably helped with the attraction. But I think he didn't fall for her until season 4, when he had a better chance of getting to know her. But that's just a guess. Perhaps he fell in love with her in Out Of My Mind, or even later(he could have confused attraction with love, at first).

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
I've never seen it, but that he likes a show like that(everything I know about Paasions I got from Btvs) adds to his character, makes him more "human".

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
I don't think they ever were. They liked to kill together, and that was it. Seems like by the end of season 5, they could do that pretty well. But the bitterness, Angel attitude towards many non-humans, Buffy, Drusilla, that Spike got over the guilt after the ensouling... there's a lot of stuff to work through.

How would you describe Spike?
A bad boy(and without a soul, a seriel killing rapist) with a soft side. He likes women, booze, fights, but can be a amazing boyfriend. He's the kind of guy you would want to like you, maybe even love you. Because if he doesn't like or love you, it's likely that he will be a jerk towards you, for no other reason than to uphold his image(or maybe he just needs love, and he'll get less bitchy).

EDIT- Edited the Passions-thing.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
It's funny yes, but I never seen it.

Could him and Angel ever be close again?

How would you describe Spike?
He's a bad boy. Rebel. He's awesome

[buffyfan21]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Spike. Both souled and un-souled; though I think even as a vampire, he has a lot of William left in him.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Hell yeah!

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
I would say Buffy, but also Drusilla. I was captivated by the relationship that he and Dru shared in S2. The idea of a truly, eternal love spanning centuries was fascinating to me. Their relationship showed that even souless creatures were capable of love, which these two very much were. Even though they were evil, you could clearly see the affection and love the two had for one another, it was really a beautiful thing to watch. Having a love that lasts and endures that long is truly inspiring!

What was his best moment?
The moment in "Beneath You" when Buffy finds him in the church and he tells her he got his soul back. That whole last scene and everything that Spike says just makes me so emotional; truly fantastic, almost Shakespearean dialogue, imo. And then the final scene where he leans on the cross and asks Buffy, "Can we rest now?" Gets me every time! And also Spike's words to Buffy in "Touched," truly some of the most beautiful words ever written. It is in these words that you can hear his depth of feeling for Buffy, and the sincerity with which he regards her. He is not saying these things to her for his personal gain, but because he really feels them and wants Buffy to know it. Spike wants Buffy to know that someone is on her side, he wants her to see herself through his eyes. The strength and support he provides her here, helping to build her back up after she has been torn down by her friends and the people she trusts most; it's truly a beautiful scene to watch. Love that Spike is her one ally in this, and that he helped her to regain and take back her courage and confidence. The fact that he was there for Buffy after all others deserted her, speaks very highly of his loyalty to her.

What was his lowest moment?
The attempted rape, for sure. I think even Spike would regard this as his lowest moment. But thankfully he learned and grew from it, and ultimately became a better man because of it. It is this heinous act that spurred him to seek out his soul, because he know that both he and Buffy deserved better, and he did not want to chance making such an egregious mistake again.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
There are a few: Fool for Love, Lies my Parents Told Me, Touched, Beneath You, Lovers Walk, School Hard, etc.

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Seeing Red, hands down. No contest.

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
I think he loves Buffy because she is someone who matches him in physical strength, and like Buffy, Spike can also be regarded as a hero in many ways. I think despite the human/vampire difference, the two can actually relate to each other in a lot of ways. Both know what it is like to be reborn, so to speak. Both know what it is like to grapple with the darkness inside them. It is in Buffy that Spike found his equal, but interestingly, also his rival and adversary. With Buffy Spike found someone who matches him in physical strength and prowess. He doesn't have to worry about holding back with her because they are both on the same level. It is in Buffy that Spike found a worthy opponent, but surprisingly, also an ally; someone to fight along side. I think all these things are a great comfort to Spike, the idea that he is not alone in the world, that there is someone who understands him, and someone who, in many ways, is like-minded.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
He was clearly obsessed with her at first. Perhaps he loved her even then and did not yet realize it. I think his attraction to her in the beginning was all about her being the slayer. He viewed her as a conquest in that way, someone he had to take down, snuff out. I think he viewed as his duty, the natural order between slayer and vampire. I'm sure there was also a twisted and perverse sexual attraction there as well. He wasn't viewing her solely as a kill, the way a predator eyes his prey, I'm sure there was something more to it beneath the surface. He probably derived a kind of sadistic sexual pleasure just from the fact that she was a slayer, and he was intrigued by her. Being a vampire he would likely view his stalking of her as akin to some kind of mating ritual, and his capture of her would have been the sex act. The point is, I think it was all very sexual for Spike. For a vampire, sex and violence are almost the same thing. When it became love, or when Spike became consciously aware of that love, I cannot say, but he did many things to show that his feelings for Buffy were changing and that he cared for her. Truly selfless acts like keeping Dawn safe from Glory even when he himself had nothing personal to gain from it. I do think, however, that he did not truly understand his depth of love for Buffy until after he received his soul. It is then that it became a healthier love, and a healthier relationship all around. With his soul, Spike began to understand how and what love was truly supposed to be, with a clarity he did not possess before.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
Love it! I think it shows a more sensitive side to Spike. The idea that he is not all business all the time, but instead likes to take the time to enjoy the more trivial and simpler things in life like everyone else. I love that as tough as he is, he is not above just letting loose and relaxing from time to time.

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
I don't think the two were ever really close, but I do think there is an underlying admiration and respect there, whether they will admit it or not.

How would you describe Spike?
A bad boy who tries to make himself out to be tougher than he really is, because inside he is still the same caring and sensitive man he always was; but he tries to keep that side of himself well hidden. He is also keenly attuned to his surroundings and to the emotions of others. He is very aware and tends to notice things others would likely over look. He tells things like they are, and doesn't bother to sugar-coat his opinions in order to spare anyone's feelings.

[willowsummers]

Buffyfan21 It's really nice to see someone talk about Spike with as much love as I feel. You even make it seem poetic, which he would love.

One thing everyone mentioned on here that I think that forgot to mention was the badboy side. I referred to it more as the alpha-male, rebel but he definitely is and loves to be bad.

One of the first indications of Spike being more human than other vampires was when he was telling Buffy he wanted to help her stop Angel because he liked the world. He enjoyed the things that life offered. I really liked that scene with him.

How would you describe Spike?
Funny. Brave. Witty. Strong.

[CourtneyDax]

1. Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
I actually like William. But mostly because of the episode "As You Were", where Buffy calls him William before she breaks up with him. So sad!!

2. Do you think Spike is sexy?
Well...maybe a little bit. I am sooo jealous of his hair! Its so cool!

3. Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Definately Buffy, but him and Harmony was hilarious! Blondey-Bear! HA!

4. What was his best moment?
When he fought for his soul in the season six finale.

5. What was his lowest moment?
When he tried to rape Buffy. That was a very painful thing to watch.

7. Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
Hm, I dunno. Love is very funny that way...

I think a little bit before the season 2 finale. It started then, and got very strange after, but you finally see it.

[elenasaur]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Well, William was a bit pathetic. I like Spike, because he's more full of vigor, and he actually enjoys life... or rather, unlife.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Um. I'm not actually that attracted to him. Not sure why.

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
His relationship with Drusilla was really interesting, but I enjoyed Spuffy an awful lot.

What was his best moment?
Resisting Glory... chatting with Joyce over a cup of tea after convincing her that Buffy and Spike were in a band together.

What was his lowest moment?
Lover's Walk, and the whole rape thing...

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Lies My Parents Told Me, Fool for Love, Touched

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Lover's Walk... There are others, but I can't really think of them.

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
Well, he likes a challenge, and getting a slayer to fall in love with two vampires sounds pretty hard... He's really attracted to her. I don't know really.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
Well it's always been some sort of passion with Buffy and Spike. They started out hating each other, and trying to kill each other, and it was kind of heated, and then that line blurred, and he didn't know whether to love her or hate her.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
I think it's great. Definitely makes his character more 3d.

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
Well, I don't know why they'd want to, to be honest. I guess they are the only two vampires with souls in the world, but they never actually liked each other. When Angel is evil, Spike hates him because he's more powerful, when Angel is good he has the whole righteous dislike of Spike. Now they're both good, but I don't seem them exactly getting over their past. Of course, they're immortal, so they have all the time in the world. Provided they don't stake each other first.

How would you describe Spike?
He's kind of a badass.

[The Night Lord]

Spike, because he's William and William the Bloody all in one

What was his lowest moment?
His attempted rape on Buffy. I can't stand to watch it

Lover's Walk, Harsh Day of the Light, Destiny

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
Well, honestly, wouldn't you love her for who she is?

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
Possibly since he first saw her in School Hard

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
It's funny, even though I have no idea what Passions is about

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
Watching them in season 5, I could see that they were starting to mutually respect each other and came to rely on each other, especially in ATF

How would you describe Spike?
A complete bad-ass with a wicked sense of humour who sometimes show that he does have a heart

[Jaz ♀♀]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?

Attempting to rape Buffy

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Fool For Love

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Seeing Red

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
I think he sees so much love and heroism in her that it makes him want be just as much as a hero and be apart of that love she has since he's such a hopeless romantic.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
I think he saw something in her from the very first time he watched her in the Bronze dancing but by Out of My Mind he finally acknowledge that there was definite feelings that he probably mistook for hate all those years....don't you hate it when you mistake love for hate? lol poor spike.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
haha i thought that was hilarious.

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
Yeah i think they can.

How would you describe Spike?
Strong, smart ass, love's bitch, awesome

[disney505218]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Spike. Spike is just awesomeness.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
DUH

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Drusilla&Buffy(Season 5/7 ONLY) Drusilla and him were a great couple and Drusilla was able to keep him in check and loved him very much...I think. They were cute. Buffy/Spike were also a great couple.

What was his best moment?
The end of Chosen, sacrificing his life (so he thought)

What was his lowest moment?
All of Season 6 on Buffy. I try to erase that from my mind

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Fool for love, Chosen, Not Fade Away

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Smashed/Wrecked

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
Because she's the girl he can't get. Everybody loves him-or at least respect him because he's the bad boy. And all the slayers die at his hand. Buffy is the exception. She's strong enough to evade him. He likes the challenge, and likes that Buffy is strong enough to beat him

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
From Season 2- but he didn't really realize it then. Then the dream in Season 4/5 (not sure which)

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
Hahahahaha- that's amazing

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
They are in their own weird way...they're like bickering siblings

How would you describe Spike?
Arrogant, Brave, EXTREMELY DETERMINED, hot

[Kratos]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?

Spike because he's the sum of all. As for the name calling, i think the name William should only be used by Buffy, it's how we(and Spike) knew that Buffy was serious in As you were, it was very intimate and personal.
As for the William/Spike persona, William is Spike except he lived his live holding in never unleashing his passions, he was a man stuck in world filled with rules,etiquette, forever stuck. When turned a vampire he was set free(which i think is why he "loved" Dru so much, it was more gratitued then anything else). Spike was able to unleash everything and live life to the fullest, good or bad. It's why he also clashed with Angelus so much. Angelus wants to control and this new eternal rebelious vampire was a threat to that.
Spike even tough his body is dead, is one of the most alive, living individuals in the verse.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
I think i'll take Night Lord's answer on this ;D.
I do think this is an added advantage of the comics, the eternal beautiful and in great shape part which Spike being a vampire is supposed to be.
On the show, Spike(James M.) was in his best shape in season5 and 6, the guy was super ripped and that i can definitely respect.

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?

No contest, Buffy. She's the love of his life and the relationship unlike so many others, is still left open.

What was his best moment?

Too numerous to name. A few examples, the moment Spike realizes that he killed those people in the cellar he calls Buffy and admits his crimes. Afterwards he tries to get her to kill him twice. The first trying to make him turn on Buffy, by having him see her kiss Angel. Spike really didn't believe that he could be with Buffy, yet he still firmly continued to fight the good fight. Showing us that unlike his change to evil by Dru and Angelus, it is not the mirror image being done when he changed to the side of good. Him changing in being a white hat is just as important as his love for Buffy but are not connected so if he were to lose one, meaning he can't be swayed back to the side of evil even if we get a absolute confirmation that Buffy doesn't love Spike(doubt it). And ofcourse the big one, the demon willingly getting a soul which just goes to show you how unique Spike is.

What was his lowest moment?

The turning of his mother which was a trauma for souless Spike and without a soul he could have never come to terms with it. He thought he was saving her.
Attempt of rape, souless Spike was right, if he was a real demon he shouldn't have stopped and feel so crappy about it afterwards. At that time he was at his lowest, he couldn't be a man or a demon. A choice had to be made and he chose wisely.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?

The whole journey.

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?

The Idw comics.

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?

That's easy, just look at the speech in Touched.
"I love what you are, what you do, how you try."

How long do you think he loved Buffy?

Subconsciously the first time he saw her, it would be many seasons before he realizes why he keeps coming back and neither kill one another. The slayer was what he got obssessed about but the girl is who he fell for. Her strength of character, personality, the heroine which has nothing to do with her being a slayer. Her natural innate goodness of wanting to help people, that's Buffy.


Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?

It was pretty funny, it was one of those things that humanized souless Spike.

Could him and Angel ever be close again?

I don't think they were ever that close to begin with. They are not real family.
I think season 5 showed this at best they have a new relationship based on respect for one another, they are on equal ground now. Angel can't act all arrogant,superior and special because of his cursed soul. Angel was forced,beaten in seeing Spike as an equal. But knowing season8 who knows, there's a big chance they might be enemies again(hopefully .).


How would you describe Spike?

A legendary dark warrior, love's bitch,brave,champion,poet,hero,partner,eternal rebel,determined,can be very smart when he wants to be,arrogant for good reason.

By standing in your corner he can make you strong enough to face on anyone.
Having him stand against you, he can destroy you with his words and fists and make you feel as tough your are the lowest of the low.

[slayerthorn]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Spike

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Somewhat

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Drusilla because I think they are soul mates, but I liked him with Harmony too.

What was his best moment?
When he told Tara she could play with the light even though it burned him

What was his lowest moment?
In School Hard when Joyce told him to get off Buffy. Lol.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Can’t pick just one, it’s like a potato chip

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
The Harsh Light of Day

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
So much physical contact or maybe cause she’s a slayer.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
From the moment he saw her, but I don’t think it was love.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
Yeah

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
Doubt it.

How would you describe Spike?
Brave, strong, committed to doing whatever he plans to do

[Inappropriate Starches]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Spike because he's all of the above.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
hell yes

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Buffy hands down

What was his best moment?
Touched, and not just the speech but deciding to hold Buffy when she asked without question, hesitation or expectation. I also love whenever he takes care of Dawn.

What was his lowest moment?
Imma say attempted rape, I would hope that's a low moment

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Fool For Love, Touched, Chosen, The Gift, Spiral

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Seeing Red for shiz

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
Because he likes women who are awful to him?? lol just kidding. I think he likes that she matches him and that she doesn't give up. She's a good person and unwavering and sexy to boot. I think he kind of looks up to her

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
Since he realized what she was capable of, sometime in the second season.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
Haha yes, but the Dawson's Creek is even funnier

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
Possibly, but I don't know how real their closeness ever was. I think they have a better chance at it now that Angel isn't Angelus and Spike doesn't need his approval the same way he did.

How would you describe Spike?
Strong, Protected, wreckless, passionate, perceptive, foolish, heartfelt.

[afterthebattle]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
I like all versions of him, but I prefer Spike.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Hell yeah, he's the the sexiest there ever was!

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Buffy, definitely.

What was his best moment?
Hiding the identity of the key from Glory, bringing flowers for Joyce, promising Buffy to protect Dawn to the end of the world, the way he takes Buffy's hands when she's just returned from heaven - he's sooo gentle, fighting to get his soul back, his speech to Buffy in "Touched".

What was his lowest moment?
The attempted rape and him saying "why didn't I do it" afterwards, I actually also find chaining Buffy to a wall in "Crush" very low, never really liked that.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Fool for Love, Tabula Rasa (yay for Randy!), Touched, OMWF.

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Seeing Red (like most people here).

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
He is attracted to strong women. I think he sees Buffy (physical) as his equal and respects her, because she's able to beat him all the time. I think his obsession with her is due to the fact that he can't harm her so his frustration turns in to lust and infatuation. Another reason for his attraction is that he can't have her (however, I don't think this is the main reason) - but I also think some part of him (his human part) admires her for what she does, although he's never really aware of this before he is ensouled (S7: "I love what you are, what you do, how you try."). Furthermore, Buffy understands Spike and vice versa in a way nobody else does (although Buffy isn't willing to admit it).

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
I don't think he loved Buffy from when I first saw her in School Hard, but I think he's always been attracted to her. I don't really count his crush on/infatuation with her in season 5 as love, but I think he's definitely in love with her in season 6. However, in season 7 where he's gotten his soul back he truly loves her.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
Yeah, it's hilarious xD

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
Were they ever really close?

How would you describe Spike?
Perceptive, sensitive, rebellious, hedonistic, funny, sexy, brutally honest and loyal to the ones he cares about. He's so many things at the same time! All in all an absolutely amazing character. He develops from bad-ass villain to comic relief to tortured hero/anti-hero. That's really something.

[iigreenii]

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Spike soulful or souless.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Yes Yes Yes!

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Buffy by far. I also think he was hilarious with Harmony. I wouldn't have minded him dating Fred either had Wesley not been in the picture.

What was his best moment?
Definitely him saving the world in Chosen. Him telling everyone off & uplifting Buffy in Touched. Also him beating Angel in Destiny. I love Angel I'm just happy Spike won for once.

What was his lowest moment?
Obviously the attempted rape scene. Trying to kill the girl in the alley after thinking the chip had stopped working & his little scheme in As You Were.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Lover's Walk, Something Blue,Pangs,Bargaining,Touched & Chosen.

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
As You Were & Seeing Red

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
He loves her because of who she is, what she does, how she tries,her kindness and her strength (his exact words). She was the first person to really believe in him. To believe that he could be a good person.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
I'm not certain. I would say his attraction started when he first saw her in the Bronze. You could even see it in Halloween when he took his time in biting her. What vamp takes that long to bite someone? I would say Spike's love for Buffy started around Pangs/Something Blue.I remember him smiling while watching her fight in Pangs. The attraction between both started in Something Blue. Spike & Buffy trying to act like they were disgusted afterwards lol. The spell was to get married. Making out wasn't a requirement. They knew both they liked it.

Yes. I used to watch Passions as well. Never realize how silly it was until I got older.

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
William the bloody, I always thought that Spike was a stupid name. William is too blah for him. William the bloody is great because it reflects both the image he wants people to see of him, and when you learn the origin of the name it also reflects the bad poet inside.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Smoking is my biggest turn off, that being said, I found him incredibly sexy anyways.

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
I like him equally with Buffy and Drusilla.

What was his best moment?
Getting tortured by Glory because he refused to tell her about Dawn.

What was his lowest moment?
When he tried to rape Buffy.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Intervention.

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
I can't really answer that question because I liked all of the Spike-centric episodes, and I like every episode of Buffy.

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
I think he is a bit of a masochist. Also I think he admires her badassery.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
Since he woke up from that dream about her with a look of realization on his face.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
Yeah, I think it's funny.

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
I guess, but I prefer them when they bicker.

How would you describe Spike?
Funny, Sexy, speaks his mind, badass, layered, devoted.

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
I prefer souled Spike. I think Willam the Bloody and soulless Spike are the exact same person with different names, while William was the human and then there's souled Spike.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
Hell Yes.

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
He was sweet and romantic with Dru, sad with Cecily, funny with Harmony and deeply disturbing with Buffy. But I think souled Spike and Buffy should date, see where things go.

What was his best moment?
There's many. I guess him not going to meet Buffy in early Ats S5 was god. I like to imagine that he didn't do it because he thought she didn't want to see him, not just because he didn't want to ruin his heroic "death". That would have shown a lot of personal growth.

What was his lowest moment?
Soulless Spike: Not killing himself every damn day. He was a murdering rapist.
Souled Spike: Keeping Nikki's coat and taunting Robin, saying she was a warrior, she knew was she was getting into. Like her risking her life to save others made her different, made her less. I doubt he would keep trofees of other kills as easily.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Becoming part 2, but not because of Spike.

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Seeing red.

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
I don't know. Love is wacky and irrational, so anything I say would be guessing. I think he always admired her warrior spirit, that she was a fighter, and when he got a soul, I think he appreciated that she was a hero, a giver.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
We saw in the flashback in Fool For Love that he was obbsessed with her 1998, so maybe he feel in love with her during season 2. I'd like to think that he didn't fall in love with her until Season 4, when he got to know her better, not just fought her. That he feel in love with Buffy, not the slayer, since he didn't know much of Buffy then. Not that he got to know her that much in Season 4 either.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
No clue, I've never seen it.

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
I don't think they ever were close. I don't think Spike trully trusted Angelus after he saw him with Drusilla. In Ats S5, I think they were as close as they'll ever be. Maybe they will only ever be that close, even in the comics.

How would you describe Spike?
Complicated. A guy who likes women, booze and to fight (both to save people and simply just because he likes violence). Atleast that's the image that he uses as a shield. Don't get me wrong, he loves all those things, but he's also caring and sweet tpo random people at times, and fiercly loyal and loving to his loved ones. Maybe one day he might even be called a "nice guy", even by strangers, but for now, many people only get to see the surface; A rude bloke who likes to be the hero.

Do you prefer William, William the Bloody or Spike?
Ack, I can’t answer this question simply. I like Spike pre-obsession with the Buffy. Back in Season 2, when he was all though, and awesome and “I’m gonna kill the Slayer”. That’s vintage Spike, and that’s who I loved, but Season 4/5 onwards, really can’t stand him most of the time.

Do you think Spike is sexy?
James Marsters doesn’t really do it for me, but I can definitely see where the appeal comes from.

Do you prefer him with Cecily, Drusilla, Harmony or Buffy?
Oh, Drusilla all the way! They are just so freakin’ awesome together, and if they can find a way to get them back together I may just cry for joy.

What was his best moment?
OK, so I’m guessing most people would write “when he gets his soul back” or “when he doesn’t give Dawn up to Glory.” I don’t see these as heroic or selfless or amazing moments, because I see them as being driven purely by his obsession with Buffy. So I would say his best moments happen on Angel, when his soul really kicks in and he starts to see the bigger picture. I think his best moment is when he is the first one to volunteer to fight the Circle of the Black Thorn, because you can see that he now truly believes in the greater good.

What was his lowest moment?
Trying to rape Buffy. I can’t watch that scene and it forever put the final nail in the coffin of my hatred for Spuffy.

Which is your favorite episode featuring Spike?
Fool For Love, What’s My Line Pts 1 & 2, and on Angel Hell-bound

Which is your least favorite episode featuring Spike?
Beneath You, Smashed, Out of My Mind

Why do you think he loves Buffy so much?
Oh, who knows? I can’t answer this without going into a long tirade about how unhealthy and obsessive his love was, so I’m just gonna leave this one alone.

How long do you think he loved Buffy?
Again, pass.

Do you like that Spike loves to watch Passions?
It’s cute, and definitely provides some great lines. “Timmy’s down the bloody well!”

Could him and Angel ever be close again?
I don’t think he and Angel were ever close. Angelus always showed nothing but disdain for Spike and vice versa. Even when they both have souls they continually get under each other’s skins.

How would you describe Spike?
Arrogant, stubborn, funny, sarcastic, tough, obsessive, a little pathetic at times
