The AOQ 'Crush' thread is veeeeeeery interesting. And I'm beginning to wonder if maybe he is a bit spoiled... what I can say is that he'll probably enjoy the later seasons. Just look at this exchange:
AOQ:
If Spike is really
that into Buffy to the point where he's denying his vampire identity
(we've seen hints of that), you know what he could try, as a final
act of total desperation? Have Willow make him a soul. There are lots
of issues there, not the least of which being the loophole in the one
curse our heroes know, but I think it's worth pondering.
vague disclaimer:
Hmmm. Same spell, same curse? I can think of little duller than to
re-tread a story that was left as a spent husk 2 years before.
AOQ:
[shrug] I think it might be interesting. We've never seen the kind of
desperation that could drive a vampire to voluntarily seek a soul. And
there's the whole different-characters thing, Spike's reaction to
being ensouled would liekly be very different than anything we've seen
from Angel or Darla, and who knows what kind of character might emerge
from all that?
I mean - wow!
ETA: I was also going to include this exchange between 3DMAster and AOQ. (3DMaster *seriously* hates Spike!):
3DMaster:
Spike never transformed, he's not capable of transformation. What some
writers do or do not think, or claim or do not claim about the show,
matters nothing.
AOQ:
So far, I like the show I'm watching better than the one you're
watching.
Actually, the 3DMaster guy saw a completely different Spike to who we did. Replying to someone else, I quoted the scene where Spike leaves flowers for Joyce. Here's what Mr 3D replied:
'Of course he didn't [leave a card with the flowers], if he did it would be too easy to spot. He probably
planned on Buffy watching him put the flowers there, then walk off, she checks the flowers, there's not card, and she's going all gushy, at least in Spike's mind.'
*shakes head*
