Wouldn't his arms just grow back on their own?

Are Vam-pires related to starfish?

I sense that there might be a Slayer uprising in the offing.

I didn't fall for it. Because I kept timelining it and was all 'For it to be true, there must be Dru.'.

Did you fall for the Spike-did-it fakeout?

I'm afraid I didn't. It would have been better if he was the one who tortured her.

Would those drugs in the wall still be effective?

Vampire healing, we've seen Spike bounce back from that gaping hole in his chest that Glory dug.

Those drugs in the wall would not have been effective.

If they're gonna do drugs, they should do them right.

Because I kept timelining it and was all 'For it to be true, there must be Dru.'.

Yup. I was wondering if they were just working around a lack of Juliet Landau. But it left me with the conviction that Spike wouldn't do that sort of thing without Dru. Playing with the food is her and Angel. Spike would have seen a shiny thing, whacked her, and charged off to eat it.

Healing yes, growing apendages seems less believeable. Humans can heal from cuts, bruises, etc, but not regrow limbs. I'd think that vampire physiology wouldn't stray too much from that, other than accelerated healing.

Exactly, ita. And he pretty much says as that in the hospital scene. He's all about the 'rush, the crunch, never much looked at the victims'; Angel was the one who 'couldn't take my eyes off them'.

Yes, Dru was much more about the pain and torture than Spike.

Have they ever discussed the limits of vampire healing? Because Spike recovered from his spinal injury.
