Spike not picking up the phone to call to track down Buffy
He couldn't. The phones were all down, remember? Computers, too, so no email.
And the Sparmony sex? Uh, you know, Spike is a bit of a horndog. He always was. Also, he's just been recorporealized (and hasn't had sex in over a year and a half, and she's right there) and must now reaffirm life. I had no problem with it.
There's my Spike in all his glory - petty, selfish, manipulative, poetic, dead sexy, heart of gold. Oh, and kick-ass taste in music. :)
Neither statement is founded in truth, more just to piss the rival off.
Exactly. Because let's face it, they're just boys. Super-strength, immortal blood-sucking boys but when it comes to throwing down, they're all just 12 year-olds pissing on the playground.
The 'puttin' it to her' line didn't bother me because I felt it was in character for these two testosterone-heads to talk to each other that way in the midst of a big battle. I never felt that reflected how Spike really felt about Buffy, or implied that he harbors disrespect for her.

Hey Rae... regret it I DO NOT. I quoted you to begin with because while I didn't have the same degree of negative reaction that you did, I thought you made some valid points.
Sadly enough, I have to agree with you when you say "my version of Spike is not the AtS version of Spike." I think you can read my little ficlet from yesterday and see that. I didn't want him to be the comic sidekick, or the non-worthy adversary.
Anyhoo, thanks so much for voicing your opinion here. I like reading all sorts of excellent opinions.
I agree with about Dru. Frankly to me , she embodies the worst of Buffy's characteristics, re her behavior towards Angel.I think I would like her if she had a day of clarity and used it to go to town on Angel.

Yes, I can explain away anything. Just try me.
