Personally, I am perfectly happy to only see Spike in a supporting role.
Hell, it's only then the character works.
Huzzah for Drive!
Mal: Which one you figure tracked us? Zoe: The ugly one, sir. Mal: Could you be more specific?

[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.

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.

I predict a riot, I predict a riot.
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.

Issue 146, the one with the Stargate cast on the cover. Your interview is on p26 with the mind blowing title "Tim traveller - Buffy man Tim Minear spills the beans to SFX about his new show, Drive". It's a really nice pic of you btw.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
"Tim traveller - Buffy man Tim Minear spills the beans to SFX about his new show, Drive".
Again with the Buffy. We should totally start a rumor that Tim really did write an episode of Buffy, but it was "lost" because the WB or UPN refused to air it. Could be fun.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, he did write one. In it, Xander died and it didn't test well with audiences. So, it was pulled and Ted was aired instead.
