Just watched "Lies My Parents Told Me" again tonight, and Spike has a line near the end of it (to Wood): "See, unlike you, I had a mother that loved me back."

So, just add that to the mix and stir...

That is so cold (and so Spike).
But in a twisted way, maybe he's trying to make Robin feel better?
Nahh.

Don't f**k w/Spike Chrisisall

To me that line was basically, 'I didn't kill your mother, she let herself die. She didn't love you enough to want to continue living.'

Pretty mean, but probably what Robin needed to hear to begin placing blame on the correct person.

@Chrisisall:

When you watch season 7 (I believe), there is a flash back where Robin's mothers says to him something along the lines of, "The mission is all that matters."

There have been alot of inconsistantcies though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Spike was first introduced, there was a scene where Angel was trying to trick Spike into thinking he was still evil but Spike caught on. If I remember correctly, Spike's line was "...you were my sire, my Yoda." and every reference after that said that Dru had made Spike.

I'll be in my bunk.

Dru made him, but Angelus taught him, gave him a level of evil training Dru could never have; any vampire can make a vampire, only Angellus could make a Spike.

So you see, what he said was true, from a certain point of view...

Ah, but babywithpower is right. ME changed it from the original Angel-as-Spike's-sire to Dru-as-Spike's-sire. You can fanwank the first comment to fit, as you did, but it is still an inconsistency. And one that bugs me.

Yeah, well, just because you and B are right about it, doesn't mean I have to acknowledge it.

I've read so many times that Joss had always wanted meant for Dru to have made Spike. He said that when Spike called Angel his sire, it basically meant the same thing, as Angel is Spike's grandsire. I always thought that this was just back tracking, but apparently Joss has been pretty adamant that this is true.
