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'.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Thanks for all the fish.

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

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought it was lovely timing coming off your discussion with JohnSweden.
Megan -- I wondered that myself. I think I grossed myself out to the point of believing they'd not come back.

Well, it would have been very Wolfram and Hart to leave Spike handless for a few days to see if he grew some new (evil) hands.

I also wanted Spike to tell Angel at the end about the guy named Doyle who got him to help the helpless.
Elena - Feb 02, 2004 5:17:50 pm PST #5113 of 6793
Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, absolutely! Spike should have told Angel about that when Angel was ribbing him about his newfound sense of helping the helpless.
ita, it was interesting timing, wasn't it?
JohnSweden - Feb 02, 2004 5:53:20 pm PST #5114 of 6793
I can't even.
Sure was. I absolutely swear I was and remain unspoiled (always been a spoiler phobe). Fun discussion though, and the timing gave it a cool twist. I maintain that Spike is not only about the crunch (his name, frex) and he does come out and say in the ep (the things we done).

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, he did, John. Absolutely. But I do think that the conversation in hospital showed how they were different as demons.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
thioridazine? Man, who uses that anymore?
Yeah, but everyone recognizes it.
Spike, btw, dreamy. That was some quality Marsters and it's been a good long while.
