If the alien master plan involves the fine tuning of JM's career then I am way out of the loop.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

If they end up doing a Spike-centric TV movie as their one return to the Buffyverse, I'm hoping his supporting characters will exclusively be Andrew, Kennedy, and Eve so I can safely make other plans for the hours it's on.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm with Matt on that one.(No surprise, really)

What is even happening?
Matt, what if the premise was that he lost his soul and treated them all to a bloody death?

The evil is this way?
We can only hope. I fear it will mostly be him mooning over Buffy. Bletch.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It'd be nice if the 4 movies were each a secondary character. Leave Buffy and Angel themselves out of it. But that's just me in my dream world. (However, if they were going to do that, it would make sense to start with Spike, as he probably has the greatest ability to motivate people to watch (other people not watching because of him notwithstanding))

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Didn't he already stop doing that?

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
Y'know, if done properly a Spike TV movie would be great, but the only problem might be if they couldn't get anyone else who you would expect to play a role in Spike's ongoing adventures (Boreanaz and SMG, for example, who I don't think would be involved) and then they have to come up with phoney, contrived reasons for those character's absences or do a "Girl in Question" where the character is obviously being kept offscreen for that reason.
Although if anyone can avoid those pitfalls it's Joss.

I'd like to see Spike, Faith and Robin Wood take on the Cleveland Hellmouth. With maybe a little Xander and a few random New!Slayers thrown in for good measure. Oh, and Harmony could be this Hellmouth's Master. Hee. I think the actors are all pretty much footloose and fancy free right now, so it wouldn't be difficult getting them all together.
