Well, both are still James Marsters.
Let's not do this actor/character thing again. It doesn't end well. IJS.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Well, both are still James Marsters.
Yeah, but DB makes Angel(us) pretty distinct.
JM being a more experienced actor type than DB, methinks that in this case, one must look sternly to the writing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been wondering something about Axercalibur and the Slayer line. When Buffy was talking to Giles, she said that she could feel its power, but it seemed to be kind of a vague feeling. When Faith picked it up, she very specifically said she felt like it was hers, even though she then gave it back to Buffy, saying something like I guess that means its yours.
Did anyone else get the feeling that in terms of the force(s) creating and guiding the Slayer line that maybe Faith was THE Slayer? If so, why is the FE so focused on Buffy?

All is well that ends in pizza.
The last thing Spike said to the soul demon is:
VOICE
You have endured the required trials.
SPIKE
(weakly)
Bloody right I have.
He pushes himself up to address the DEMON of the cave.
SPIKE (cont'd)
So, give me what I want. Make me
what I was... so Buffy can get what
she deserves.
VOICE
Very well.
A GNARLY DEMON HAND reaches out to Spike's bare chest
VOICE (cont'd)
Your soul is returned to you.
As the hand touches him, Spike throws his head back and SCREAMS in agony... -----

Dude, I've *seen* your purity test results. No way were you Andrew. Unless Andrew had a really interesting Mardi Gras.
Those results came about after a deliberate program designed to make me not!Andrew any more.
Which probably bespeaks a deap-seated pathology on my part.

But Buffy also got that feeling.
ETA: And Buffy is the one who has jumped the track on the Slayer railroad.

I 've been hands under the shirt, over the bra, Calvins in a wad on the front seat with some S7 Buffy spoilers - but we never went all the way ~tinaf
You know, last night before I went to bed I was like "oooohhh, by tomorrow, they will open a new thread." Damn me for not just staying up until the new thread opened. I don't even get the pleasure of commenting on the newness of the thread. Sorry, I'm whiney today. Also bitter because I really want to join in the buffistas promy goodness and no such luck.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Back a ways, somebody said that the Big Evil of the attempted rape had to be balanced. For some of us, a re-souling does just that, because there can not be any real redemption unless the perpetrator can really understand, and repent of, the transgression, and a soul would be a specific requirement for that. A re-souling is indeed a very big deal....)
(Sorry, I have to go and do some rush work now -- will return later to the discussion, which will probably have moved on!)

"Angel and Spike, The Starsky and Hutch of the Netherworld" - Albert Einstein in his speech to the U.N. Security Council, Sept., 1955.
I guess what I mean is that Spike was never Angelus, and several chipped years really took an edge off. So I don't see that there need be that big a distinction personality-wise. I think the difference is more evident in the motivations and actions, as opposed to the surface personality.
Although souled Spike is far more tranquil than unsouled ever was.

If I only had a brain...
However he IS different--for me he's lost his edge of danger that made him, well, sexy. Now I find myself looking at him and thinking "what a handsome man." Where I used to think "Gimme some of that."
Yep. When he started killing people this season? Yowza.
Excuse me, I think I need to see a therapist now.
