They could do like Stephen King and auction off the opportunity to be a Spike victim. The fen alone could finance the entire film.

Hush, you. I'm broke, and I've been waiting a long time. After this summer, Scott will be glad to die, too. I think the Lyme Disease has left a visible mark on how he carries himself, but I'm trying to let it go, because finishing the course of anti-biotics, he does seem to feel more like himself.

I would so much rather see a Faith movie, then Spike. But hey maybe she can be incorpertated into it OR given her own as well.

I see her story, much like Giles as being the really untold. I just find it hard to find something new Spike could do, that Angel has not already done. I love Tim, but I am not sure even he can erase the "Fonze" Spike that was all that was left of that great evil guy.

But then again maybe a movie with Dru could bring Spike back to who he was. If anyone can write twisted love/hate it is Tim. Look at his Darla/Angelus.

Never Fade Away was on network TV. This was only the second time I've seen it. So many interesting things happen. +Angel signs away Shanshu. +Spike's perfect day is performing poetry. +Lorne leaves the team. +The Godfather killing all your enemies in one night strategy. +Does anyone survive the alley? It's the perfect ending. Anytime you talk about it you have to debate who makes it and who doesn't.

As for Spike's future can anyone see him semi-retired and mellowed, wearing a blazer and teaching poetry for an adult education night class? Then Willow shows up at the door and says, "Spike, we need you." And then they do a whole pulling the leather duster out of the trunk scene. That would rock.

Or better than Willow, Faith.

So Spike is a poor man's Indiana Jones, then?

I think Spike can be a poor man's anything, without stretching too far from canon characterizations.

I think Spike has always stretched too far from canon. The things he can and can't do or can and can't feel are always new and different with every new episode or writter.

I can only hope if the project ever does go through, he is killed off in the end and stays dead. But then again. I hope if they can ever get intrest from the networks or money people on this, they can give us Ripper. And or Faith in the same deal with their own movies.

I think the way the ended Angel is so dramatic that anything after would be a let down. Anything before or even during season five would be so much more intresting.

And please never let the phrase"Spike, we/I need you." Come from Faith's lips!

And please never let the phrase"Spike, we/I need you." Come from Faith's lips!

No. That request would have to take the form of some kind of physical violence on her part.

I'll definitely be watching the Spike movie if it happens, especially since Tim is writing it.
