That was so wonderful. A beautiful tribute to our guy, and an uncanny insight into how immediately he stole our hearts. The essential components that made Spike Spike really were there from the very first, weren't they?
Thank you for this. I know I've told you this before, but you really do write the finest meta on Livejournal.

It's really kind of amazing to look back and see how fully formed Spike already was in his first appearance. I do think that's a strength of Joss's writing; rewatching WttH, the Scoobies all sound "in voice" right away. He's deft at sketching characters out so they seem immediately three-dimensional.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it.
You've said it so much better than I could. Spike was bigger, sexier, and far more interesting than every other character on the series - except Buffy- and I simply can't imagine it without him.
