How true! Only you forgot someone.. Buffy is only worth watching for Spike. My dream would be that they end that show by letting him finally kill her... she grows more awful by the season.

I like Spike, especially as a reluctant hero, but I've mentioned that before on list only to be told he hasn't really changed, it's just the V-chip. I didn't mention him this time because I am content to think silently how right I am. I'd be disappointed if he kills Buffy, not because of my regard for her, but because it would destroy my theory that Darla's bloodline has been growing more human with each generation, that the 4 Vampires of the Apocalypse will all march together one last time *against* the demons, and finally because ot would really make all the character development they've done with him a waste. Noteworthy-- Spike has a strong fan following. When his past was revealled, it turns out he was (as I suspected) a bit nerdy. He acts Mr Tough Guy, but he's really, as he put it once "Love's Bitch"-- romance is the driving force behind him both for evil and good. He's the Fanfic Avon of Buffydom. Suffers beautifully, wears leather, and gets the cutting lines. He *is* a case of the writers giving the fans what they want, at least up to a point.
