I would watch a Spike movie written by Tim. In fact, I'm looking forward to it -- assuming that it is going forward.

I'd watch a Spike movie by Tim, too. Actually, I'd watch any Spike movie. But I do think Tim would do it right. He'd take us back to the original Spike of season 2 and still have him saving puppies for Christmas.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
I'm in for a Spike movie, as long as there's a decent story attached and no distant glimpses of other characters' hair from afar.

Tim does pain and suffering like nobody else (hey, a joss quote, I really am a fanboy). Spike needs pain. And suffering. Like nobody else.
Bwah! Well, I'd see a Tim-helmed Spike movie, or even a Tim-helmed Andrew and Kennedy movie. But I'm not sure respect for talent alone could get me in the theatre to watch characters I loathe without the made-by-a-friend factor, even if such were Jane's or Joss' baby instead.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Campaign to get Tim to kill off Spike begins here. I'll give you $4 and a waffle, Tim. (Although, note, you'd totally get some craxy fan hate mail).

As Buffy said, wouldn't help.
I'm unfortunately convinced that the Woobie that Ate Fandom would resurface despite even Tim's best efforts at fatality.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'd watch a Spike movie by Tim. I don't want to sound like a snob (I TOTALLY AM) but if one of the Buffy writers had done it, I don't think I would to be honest.
I'd not be fooling anyone if I didn't say I'd watch anything either by Tim or starring any Buffyverse characters -- curiousity would win above all, if nothing else -- but, to my knowledge, Tim never actually wrote Spike before. So it would be interesting to see a fresh take.
Tim does pain and suffering like nobody else (hey, a joss quote, I really am a fanboy). Spike needs pain. And suffering. Like nobody else.
Actually, Spike works best when he's pretty much running on sarcasm. Too much pain and suffering turns him into Michael Bolton!Spike.

No, too much badly written pain turns him into Michael Bolton!Spike.
Sarcastic funny Spike is fun, but it's a careful balance - he soon becomes The Fonz. In my opinion, anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Naw, Spike's leather jacket is better.

The evil is this way?
Tim, I think you'll give great Spike movie. I just hope I see it, unlike the murder of my husband.
Mebbe Tim could kill Scott off in the Spike movie. There's got to be some victims in there somewhere.
