The (weakly maintained) justification was that causing a ruckus might jolt them, and the razor sharp wire'd kill them before Angel could reach.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

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

Thanks for all the fish.
I think that Angel could take a ruckus out of the room (through the glass, as we did see) or make it short...
You did say weak, have to agree with that.

Which, as I said, was dependant on all of them getting captured with ridiculous ease in the first place. I also think it might've at least looked more effective if they weren't all in a little row. Spread out, with some tripwires strung to the chair bases, maybe.

Trust you to have the better evil plan.

OK, my real evil plan would be to gun for that Hellmouth in Cleveland that nobody pays any attention to.

Roll 3 d6. On a 1 or 2, you live.
Yeah, I thought the whole thing was a little wonky too. Other than being on the roomiest submarine I've ever seen, the question must be asked:
If the question "You think I'd come in here unarmed with no plan?" is enough to disarm a hero, would baddies really ever take the time to come up with genuinely evil plans?

Dance, Numfar, dance.
Trust you to complain about the submarine.

Level with us. You're doing the Dance of Disappointing Episode right now aren't you?

Didn't anyone else think it was against Spike's character at the time to obey Angel, and not impulsively try to eat an American?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I thought that every aspect of Spike being on the submarine was preposterous, including how Spike and Angel acted toward each other.
