Absolutely loved this one, and the final twist was so sweet (in a way).
Definitely one of the creepiest villains we have had? Very hard to watch at points (mainly the part which I refuse to watch XD).
We discuss the 'Spike' situation at the start, I hope I doesn't come off as too heavy. I really appreciate all of your comments and wouldn't want to cause anything that may suggest I don't want your honest takes on the episodes and reactions! :)
Hope you are well, lovelies!!
As always, if you click the video just after this post, you may need to download it first. This should be fixed in a couple of hours!

Super late here, but wanted to try and comment my thoughts. I was wondering myself why it's so much easier to forgive Angel than Spike. I think part of it is the acts we see them doing, sure. Angel's acts are more TV-show standard (killing, kidnapping), whereas Spike's are more a real sort of evil. Part of it may be the way it's filmed. But the more I think about it, the more I think it's to do with 1. betrayal, and 2. Angelus vs. Angel compared to Spike vs. Spike: Angel and Angelus to us are two completely different people. We meet him as a kind person, we see the drastic switch to an evil version, and this drastic switch tells us clearly 'this isn't the angel we know and love'. He again switches back drastically. With spike, we get introduced to a bad guy. Then he can't hurt people, and he starts helping out. Slowly, he earns some sort of half-trust, a sort of half-respect as he starts to understand emotions and emulate empathy. It starts to feel like But he's still evil, and the bit of trust we've built up gets punished with a terrible and very real feeling betrayal. And then he gets his soul back, and yes he's insane, but we don't see the clear night-and-day difference we did with Angel. And even if we did, it wouldn't feel the same way, because of the way we've seen him grow as Spike. It's easy to see Angel and Angelus as two different people, but it's not for Spike with and without a soul. It'd feel unfair to ask Angel to repent for what he did as Angelus, even though we appreciate that he feels guilty about it. And yet, because they do feel like the same person, we do hold spike accountable for what he did. I want to say it's wrong, but at the same time, I'm not entirely sure it is. If anything, it puts into perspective that letting angel go was the right thing to do. After what'd happened with Angelus, his fault or not, there were scars left that weren't going to heal again. And with Spike, that's even worse.

2026-02-17 19:09:07 +0000 UTCYour view on Spike isn't actually very controversial, and a lot of people hold it. I commit the cardinal sin of liking Riley, not liking Buffy, and not thinking the show is nearly as forward thinking as superfans do, so boy howdy your views are like Disneyland comparatively. On the room situation, in no way has anyone been paying the mortgage and property taxes on it, so they're even lucky they have rooms at this point. We're to believe that Buffy was paying it with her earnings from the Doublemeat Palace and Willow's non-earnings of being a student with no job?
