There's a nifty wee interview in the new SFX magazine with Tim. According to him, he was this close to filming the Spike movie around now but couldn't cause Fox picked up the Drive pilot. There's also a lovely description of Drive as well and how it incorporates elements from Wonderfalls, Angel, Firefly and The Inside. It all sounds very intriguing.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Such a riot. OMG, that is perhaps something that could have been left unsaid for 20-30 years. Not that I care myself. Personally, I am perfectly happy to only see Spike in a supporting role.

Hell, it's only then the character works.
Huzzah for Drive!

Given how good Tim's post-Mutant Enemy shows have been, I don't think the new series/TV movie schedule conflict would fill me with that big a case of the oh noes even if the latter weren't centered on a character I could happily do without revisiting until the Face of Boe passes away from natural causes.

You'll be sorely disappointed. With Joss saying what he said in that Wizard interview, I think most of the fans know it's dead and buried thanks to filthy lucre. This'll be the online equivalent of a damp squib.

I have to say, I've never gotten a lot of Spike-related email. They're kinda slackers compared to the Doyle fans. Or even the French C/A 'shippers.
Of course, I have totally jinxed myself now, huh?

Wasn't Spike only in one episode of Angel that Tim had any involvement with?

I think just the Darla ep, yes.

Simon, which issue is it? 'cause I'd, you know, buy it.
