He's already killed himself to stop a wave of evil. And he loved it.
Doesn't Shanshu mean some sort of combo of living and dying, which the MoG simply
assumed
meant "becoming mortal/human?"
Wouldn't it be a kicker if the reward for the ensouled vampire who played a role in preventing the Apocalypse was that he got to do it over, and over, and
over
again, dying while fighting the good fight then being brought back to unlife to go through the same dog and pony show ad infinitum?
Or has "Shanshu" been formally redefined since the S1 finale?
Now who let this @#$(&$ bunny into my office?
Fixed my typo, dammit.
That's OK, it's been immortalized by others.
Hee, I'm amused by the thought of Sisyphus!Spike.
"Off to save the bloody world again; it's what I do."

I never think of things spoken as canon. I mean, it's canon that a character spoke the words, but there's no guarantee that the character is correct.
Jessica--Stonecutters? I'm drawing a blank (well, and thinking of the lj community of the same name). Was that term used in the show? Who are the stonecutters?
Daniel, I got a good giggle out of the Frogyn typo.
I've played video games, and I know certain platforms exist, but knowing what is available on which? NSM.
And some of us that do (namely me) obviously don't either. It's just a minor nitpick - much like the Italian from last week.
As for your typo, it was worth it for the Muppet!Angel on Kermit imagery.
Who are the stonecutters?
The Masons! The Secret Masters of the World!
I thought the X-Box/Playstation thing wasn't even a nitpick ... didn't someone say there were cross-platform versions?
"Off to save the bloody world again; it's what I do."
Don't forget -- he needs to die each time, poor dear.
Cindy: It's a Simpsons thing.
And I have their song in my head.
Every ages-old demonic entity needs a Spike as a pet.
I could use one myself.
Finally saw the episode, now off to read the last few hundred posts in thread #4 before commenting, much. Maybe it will help my grumpiness.
Wish he had shipped Nina off a while back, yawn.
Wow, Marcus beating up Illyria was really ouchy. Ouch.
Well, I got to the end of the thread finally, delayed by having to sleep and an 8:30 am conference call with stupid stupid stupid people.
Micole speaks for me, particularly with regard to the importance of an ending being both surprising and inevitable. Which this? Not so much. I don't mind, but I'm not compelled. I'm seeing the hand of the writers too clearly here.
I'm also rather disturbed about the killing of Drogyn. First, do we know that was actually him? I rewound and still couldn't recognize him. Wondered if maybe Angel pulled a switcheroo. Not that killing a complete outsider would be an improvement.
Second, he killed a good guy! A complete innocent! (Okay, possibly not innocent, but not deserving of death at the moment.) Um, repercussions? Or at least recognition? The hell?
I suspect Hamilton is suspicious.
I hate the WB promo people with a cold and furious rage.
