I hope not! But as I was watching the extras on the DVDs, I couldn't help but find myself a bit smitten by .....no, not one of the actors, but a writer / producer! How wrong is that ? Or is it wrong?
Not that I'd ever follow up with even a fan mail to said person, but I just found it strange.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Is it bad that when I saw the thread title my first thought was of Spike's character evolution?

I should know this, but I'm stumped. Spike's character evolution?

Warning! Spoilers ahead!
I think he's referring to Spike's arc in Season 5, concerning his infatuation with Buffy. You know, hanging around her house (or breaking in), the BuffyBot, that sort of thing. It was more than a little stalkerish (not to mention really creepy).

Ahh yes. The Buffy Sex-bot. I'd wager there's not a male who, at some time, didn't dream for something similar. Did I type that out loud ?

Actually, Spike dances around Buffy for the whole series. First, he's there for the Hellmouth (to cure Dru), and looks at Buffy as a potential victim. Then he hangs around to help stop Angelus. Then he sticks around for a while. Then he comes back after Dru dumps him. Then he realizes he loves her. . .
He's been moving ever closer to Buffy since we first saw him, like a comet falling into glory. Season five was just perihelion.
Now (as seen in Angel), he's drifting back out, into the dark spaces. There'll be a turning point eventually, when he comes back toward the light.

You really could see the development of their relationship early on, and I don't think it was necessarily intended by the writers.
In "School Hard", you see Spike going to The Bronze to track Buffy. But the way he watches her is more than someone scouting an enemy. There is already a definite attraction there. It really hits home later when in "Fool For Love", Drusilla confronts him:
"I can still see her floating all around you, laughing. Why? Why won't you push her away?"
I thought Buffy and Spike's relationship was one of the most well developed (even if I didn't exactly like it).
Ahem. Sorry about the thread-jack. You may now continue with your regularly scheduled posting.

Thread-jack not a problem here. I am in agreement with your take on the Spike/Buffy history. Admiring its development while admitting you're not keen on the whole Spike + Buffy relationship seems a telling tribute to the cast/crew.

Quote:I loved their relationship...Hate, lust, Platonic love...it's central to the Buffyverse for me (even though I see Buffy ending up with Angel, and Spike becoming the first ever monk-vampire, heh heh).

It's not that their relationship wasn't interesting, and I love Spike, don't get me wrong. I just felt that the two of them together was seriously unhealthy, for both parties (not to mention the fact that by season six, I pretty much loathed Buffy).
