Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is this what it's like to not like chocolate?
Yes. (Although in the case of chocolate, it's not that I don't like it. I just don't like it enough to actively seek it out and buy it.)
At the comics shop a few weeks ago, a guy was practically wetting himself with anticipation over some Spike special comic, and got all crestfallen when he was informed that the only copy they received went into my file (the owner knows I'm Angel fan #1 in that city). I didn't even look inside before telling the clerk it was his if he wanted it.

Plei I think it's like not liking Wolverine.
I gather he has the same sort of pull for Marvel fans? Which reminds me, I need to see if my library carries The Essential Wolverine, which I hear has issues I need to read as part of my Jessica Drew thing.
Yes. (Although in the case of chocolate, it's not that I don't like it. I just don't like it enough to actively seek it out and buy it.)
That's what I figured. And it's probably as annoying to see a dessert menu that's 95% chocolate for you as the Spike thing is for me.

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.
As far as the revisionism in the Spike vs. Dracula thing, don't we see Spike, Darla and Dru killing off the gypsy tribe that cursed Angelus on the show? The way the description reads to me is gypsies curse Angelus, Darla tries to force them to remove the curse, but Spike eats her last hostage and she ends up killing the tribal leader, Dracula gets pissed off about the gypsies being eaten and wackiness ensues. Only the last bit isn't canon.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Did anyone happen to see this?
All I have to say is that if the old Batman TV series could have done this, they would have.

The old Wonder Woman TV series essentially did.

If I only had a brain...
People can be really, really stupid. An arts group in San Francisco rehearsed and announced a for-pay live version of "Once More With Feeling".
And didn't bother to ask Fox about the rights.
Hands up, all theater people who wonder what they were smoking.
Alas, it turns out that Fox never grants theatrical rights for this in any case.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Damn. I was planning on going to that thing. The question of rights-getting never crossed my mind; I just assumed that if they were doing it at all, obviously they'd taken care of the necessary copywright and permission issues long before.
Apparently it's mostly a dance troupe -- possibly all of this is different, or not so much an issue, in the world of dance, and all this just never occurred to them?
