[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
The past with Dru has huge potential.
Does Spike help the helpless? Does he have a group that fights evil? Undetermined. Seeks redemption? Did you watch the same show I did? He wanted redemption in Buffy's eyes, and got that before he blinged himself to death.
Just set up a future conflict that highlights Spike's characteristics and strengths, and throw him at it.
I actually thought he was fighting for redeption alot more on Angel, actually understood what it meant on Angel. On Buffy it was still all for the girl. On Angel it was for the good of humanity.
But hey, whatever will be will be. =)
The future's not ours to see.
