Where do we talk about Trek? Boxed Set?
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That'd be my guess.

Hi Jake! It was a delight to meet you in SF. And yes, we have all had a variety of feels concerning Spike. Even naming a thread here Spike's Bitches. (it has a history too)
Medical~ma, JenP. Good girl doing all the healthcare things.
It has been Double Monday for work today, so despite my retired status I have been solving issues all day. Sigh.

Punishingly Intricate

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hi Jake!
Happy birthday, Gud!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I don't hate Spike. Heck, by the end of season 2, he was a stand-up guy.
First off, not a "guy," a literal demon in a suicide blonde Marsters wrapper. But some of us do love him for...reasons. The logical thing would have been for Buffy to come back to the Sunset Club at the end of _Lie to Me_ with a flame thrower (or, ya know, lots of weapons) to try and and take out the threat of Spike/Dru/their posse, but clearly the character was already too beloved at that point to take out.
Second, I see what you did with the "stand-up" reference and that groaner is almost as bad as Angelus' horrible wheelchair puns. ;P

Happy birthday, Gud! I'm grateful for you and for this board.
Hi, Jake!

And because it deserves it's own post...happy birthday Gud!

Yeah, logic didn't have a lot to do with Spike's appeal. A bunch of us just liked it when he was on the screen. He certainly generated a lot of discussion too. The character had some delightful dialogue.
