I've met James Marsters, I shook his hand and gave him an eeyore hat. My best friend got to get a photo sitting on his lap.
I hate your friend

I gotta know, is he a nice guy?
He also kissed James' cheek and made security nervous. Best convention ever.

My friend met him at a convention Q&A a year ago, and asked him what he was doing here in 5 words or less, he got it straight away :)
AintNoPartyLikeAnOscarWildeParty
Please tell me he's a lovely human being and not a jerk. Although I guess letting someone sit in their lap probably means lovely human being
He's amazing! He even looks you in the eyes when he greets you. *Clutches his signature*

Why the Eeyore hat? Some significance I am unaware of?
Eeyore is one of his favorite characters. :D

Use Hula unblocker or some other extension in your browser, it's on the US Netflix.
Was never much of a fan. Couple awesome characters, but in the end, I kind of wish I never watched it.
I loved angel but got a little tired of the wolfram&hart bullshit, plus it finished on a huge fucking cliffhanger. Lame.
It's been so long I forget the overall storyline, as well as the cliffhanger ending (besides the fact that it WAS a cliffhanger) TO GOOGLE!
Totally agree. The ending was bullshit and too much with the twisting W & H plotlines...but Spike was great in season 5.
lilorfuntahanee
Start Angel.
no you gotta do that alongside for the crossovers.
i just watched both separately then again at the same time! it was a great summer
IAmDrBanner
Watch Angel. Just do it. You won't regret it.
criticallyacclaimedfuckwad
Yes you will. So disappointing.
TeslaMuffins
I found Angel to be much better overall than Buffy. It dealt in so much of the grey area of "is Angel really a good guy?" that I enjoy
mayonegge
Read the next couple of seasons in comics!! Start of season 8 kind of picks up from end of 7.
(dah dah-dah-dah). Breaking Bad is the answer, if you haven't seen it. Maybe watch The Avengers.

Not according to SMG, she was all about Angel, he was the better kisser.
Do not destroy my fantasies!
theremightbegirlsontheinternet
But Whedon was all about Spuffy. And Whedon trumps SMG.
joonday
Spike and meee
C'mon, Riley!
I prefer Spuffy, but when I revisit the series I always start with S05. I just love the cute, awkward relationship they had at the start.
Eh... Spike and Buffy were cute but I think there's more genuine love between her and angel. Spike was unhealthily obsessed with her.
StinkyV1xen
No. Bangel all the way.
Spangel ;)
Pre-soul Spike was unhealthily obsessed. After he got his soul, he did truly love her.
thegrrlnextdoor
Ok, but Spike, Angel, AND Buffy >>> everything ever.
That one page in the S08 (the comic). HNNNNG!
skolyr
If you disregard, you know, the attempted rape. "I love you and you'll love me if we fuck again."
WiseGreenBeansSecondFlight
No soul. He could not love in a healthy way. He tried to have a loving relationship but it was literally beyond his ability to conceive.
He was pretty affectionate and loving towards Drusilla, I thought. Even The Judge notices how human their feelings are for each other.
ulrim
Didn't Spike love dru before he turned into a vampire? It could be remnants of when he was human.
Season 7 indicated they'd just met when Dru sired Spike.
But really, it was always kind of a weird, obsessive caricature of love. He wanted it but didn't quite grasp it anymore.
Spike got as close to love as a creature like him could get. Joss has said that Spike was more human than other vampires.
Eranju
"I'll just torture her untill she loves me again" -badly remembered Spike quote about getting Drusilla back after she dumped him.
Come to think of it, they could give Gomez and Morticia a run for their money as the "most romantic couple in gothic themed television"
He was always...close.
twisti
Well, with no soul ? Probably still better than "I'll murder all your friends and nail dead puppies to your door".
1) Soul or no soul: "You'll love me if I rape you." is still fucked up thinking.
It is, and he knew it after she kicked him away. He knew he wouldn't be the person he wanted to be without a soul, so he got one. But I do -
think Buffy was way too quick to forgive him and start making excuses for him.
2) Angelus had been living inside Angel for 100 years tortured by Angel's good deeds and love for Buffy. He was pissed and wanted revenge.
AllHailTheDramaLlama
I'm not saying you're not right because you are. But I still think that Spike was a rather tame demon in comparison to Angelus at any time.
Oh yeah, that's for damn sure. Spike may have had the skills to have killed 2 Slayers, but Angelus's ruthlessness was legendary.
No, that was just how evil Angelus was. Say a kid is building a sandcastle. Spike would knock the sandcastle down. Angelus would rape and 1
fourismith
Kinda both, he was an evil SOB, but at the same time he wanted revenge
murder the kid. In the flashbacks, you can really see the difference between them and how evil Angelus is.
RoseNoot
I leaned so much about myself after Buffy and Spike's first sex scene.
The demolition? Oh god yes. Talk about inspiring. Sadly never found the right gal to act on that inspiration.
Isbjorn
That shit was hot as hell.
tifalif
I never got that far! Googling....
WittyPopCultureReference
Season 6 episode 9 titled "Smashed". Brace yourself for the hotness of the final scene!
I watched it, didn't expect that to happen! Clearly I need to start watching buffy again.
"Hot" does not do that justice.
"What are you doing?" "What? Uh... pushups!"
schubackk
YES.
Angel is a whiny little bitch for 90% of both shows...
Haven't seen the Angel spin off. Is it worth it?
It's worth it for the most part. Not the best show IMO but I love Buffy/Whedon a lot. First & last seasons are the best (except the last ep)
survivorofdetroit
I liked the later seasons of Angel a lot more than the later seasons of Buffy.
mishamaro
The puppet episode is pure gold.

Overall it's a little darker than buffy and some story arks are pretty useless, but it has great jokes and moments, too. I liked it a lot.

Squossifrage
Fun fact: James Marsters (Spike) learned to talk the way he does from Anthony Head (Giles). That's how Anthony Head talks in real life.
hahaha, aww, i love it. reminds me of the episode where they all loose their memory and spike assumes giles is his dad :)
Giles was awesome in general, no matter who he interacted with. :)
true true. in like every scene and every line
FaxCelestis
I've got a theory that while Buffy is the main character, the overarching story is about Spike.
CoconutCyclone
And now I'm singing I've got a theory from Once More, With Feeling.
he does have quite the arc, doesnt he? cool
Yeah. S2 starts with him showing up, and the show ends when he dies. S1 is all backstory to set the stage.
greatgoatman
And then he goes to Angel, helps slow down an apocalypse, wins the Shansu prophecy, and becomes a real boy. Not sure what after that.
"Spike, if I want your opinion...I'll never want your opinion."
Reil
I loved the glimpses of Ripper peeking through the calm librarian facade. When he smacked down Dark Willow, I squee'd as a <6'2" 280lb guy.

Hell no. Few episodes past season 3 are worth shit. So downhill from Dawn introduction on.
Dawn served a purpose in season five, annoying in six, and then Joss made her awesome in seven.
JezzaYouLilRipper
Wait for season 3 & 4?
dreadpiratekhan
Yeah, the first two are important for character development and kind of appealing in a 90s period piece way, but a bit Monster-of-the-Weeky.
The22ndDoctor
Have to say 2. The Judge, Acathla, Willow's Goldfish, Kendra, Spike and Dru, Ford, Ampata, Jenny Calendar, "Don't you walk away from me, Bit
Season 1 was done on a very low budget and never knowing how long they would be allowed to go on. By Season 2 they knew they could (1/2)
Aw yep mi comprende. I really liked season two though!
I'm not entirely sure what the 22nd Doc is trying to say, but I will add that Spike and Dru are one of my favorite TV villain pairs.

If you disregard, you know, the attempted rape. "I love you and you'll love me if we fuck again."
WiseGreenBeansSecondFlight
No soul. He could not love in a healthy way. He tried to have a loving relationship but it was literally beyond his ability to conceive.
skolyr
He was pretty affectionate and loving towards Drusilla, I thought. Even The Judge notices how human their feelings are for each other.
ulrim
Didn't Spike love dru before he turned into a vampire? It could be remnants of when he was human.
dangerousmelon
Season 7 indicated they'd just met when Dru sired Spike.
WiseGreenBeansSecondFlight
But really, it was always kind of a weird, obsessive caricature of love. He wanted it but didn't quite grasp it anymore.
SpikeCanKickLestatsAss
Spike got as close to love as a creature like him could get. Joss has said that Spike was more human than other vampires.
Eranju
"I'll just torture her untill she loves me again" -badly remembered Spike quote about getting Drusilla back after she dumped him.
Eranju
Come to think of it, they could give Gomez and Morticia a run for their money as the "most romantic couple in gothic themed television"
WiseGreenBeansSecondFlight
He was always...close.
twisti
Well, with no soul ? Probably still better than "I'll murder all your friends and nail dead puppies to your door".
skolyr
1) Soul or no soul: "You'll love me if I rape you." is still fucked up thinking.
dangerousmelon
It is, and he knew it after she kicked him away. He knew he wouldn't be the person he wanted to be without a soul, so he got one. But I do -
dangerousmelon
think Buffy was way too quick to forgive him and start making excuses for him.
skolyr
2) Angelus had been living inside Angel for 100 years tortured by Angel's good deeds and love for Buffy. He was pissed and wanted revenge.
AllHailTheDramaLlama
I'm not saying you're not right because you are. But I still think that Spike was a rather tame demon in comparison to Angelus at any time.
skolyr
Oh yeah, that's for damn sure. Spike may have had the skills to have killed 2 Slayers, but Angelus's ruthlessness was legendary.
SpikeCanKickLestatsAss
No, that was just how evil Angelus was. Say a kid is building a sandcastle. Spike would knock the sandcastle down. Angelus would rape and 1
fourismith
Kinda both, he was an evil SOB, but at the same time he wanted revenge
SpikeCanKickLestatsAss
murder the kid. In the flashbacks, you can really see the difference between them and how evil Angelus is.
RoseNoot
I leaned so much about myself after Buffy and Spike's first sex scene.
althanan
The demolition? Oh god yes. Talk about inspiring. Sadly never found the right gal to act on that inspiration.
Isbjorn
That shit was hot as hell.
tifalif
I never got that far! Googling....
WittyPopCultureReference
Season 6 episode 9 titled "Smashed". Brace yourself for the hotness of the final scene!
tifalif
I watched it, didn't expect that to happen! Clearly I need to start watching buffy again.
althanan
"Hot" does not do that justice.
althanan
"What are you doing?" "What? Uh... pushups!"
schubackk
YES.
whatthebjork
Angel is a whiny little bitch for 90% of both shows...
AllHailTheDramaLlama
Haven't seen the Angel spin off. Is it worth it?
whatthebjork
It's worth it for the most part. Not the best show IMO but I love Buffy/Whedon a lot. First & last seasons are the best (except the last ep)
survivorofdetroit
I liked the later seasons of Angel a lot more than the later seasons of Buffy.
mishamaro
The puppet episode is pure gold.
skywards
Overall it's a little darker than buffy and some story arks are pretty useless, but it has great jokes and moments, too. I liked it a lot.
Elchja
"Awww, poor Watcher. Did your life flash before your eyes? Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost-got-shagged, cup of tea?"

One of my absolute favorite lines. It makes me laugh no matter how many times I hear it.

theletterk
Oh my god, I've had a rough day and that definitely gave me a huge laugh. +1 to you and now I need to re-watch Buffy. . .

I still have that line stuck in my head from the first time I heard it. :-)

twinkieandnibbles
YOU'LL WHAT?! Lick me to death?
thebumblebear
i think i love spike and giles most, and their interactions are always fantastic
Squossifrage
Fun fact: James Marsters (Spike) learned to talk the way he does from Anthony Head (Giles). That's how Anthony Head talks in real life.
thebumblebear
hahaha, aww, i love it. reminds me of the episode where they all loose their memory and spike assumes giles is his dad :)
Elchja
Giles was awesome in general, no matter who he interacted with. :)
thebumblebear
true true. in like every scene and every line
FaxCelestis
I've got a theory that while Buffy is the main character, the overarching story is about Spike.
CoconutCyclone
And now I'm singing I've got a theory from Once More, With Feeling.
thebumblebear
he does have quite the arc, doesnt he? cool
FaxCelestis
Yeah. S2 starts with him showing up, and the show ends when he dies. S1 is all backstory to set the stage.
greatgoatman
And then he goes to Angel, helps slow down an apocalypse, wins the Shansu prophecy, and becomes a real boy. Not sure what after that.
SihayaOfTheAllPowerfulMeh
"Spike, if I want your opinion...I'll never want your opinion."
Reil
I loved the glimpses of Ripper peeking through the calm librarian facade. When he smacked down Dark Willow, I squee'd as a <6'2" 280lb guy.
thebumblebear
fuck yeah :)
Flyndaran
When he murdered that doctor as "collateral damage" to get rid of Glory.
SpikeCanKickLestatsAss
Oh hell yes. One of the times that Giles made my lady bits all tingly.
TheClassyGentleman
i think i need to watch this series
pollomagnifico
It is everything you didn't know you loved about the 90's. Those were dark times... it hard too much of the 80's in it.
TheClassyGentleman
i was born in the 90s ;3
FlatPlutoSociety
Definitely. You can probably just skip season one, though.
bitchinmona
A lot of people can be turned off by season one. We abandoned the series because of the cheese. Only tried again when a friend insisted.

It's on the PIVOT chanel now

MadamPuddifoot
Yes go do it right now and wait anxiously for season 3 and 4
jrau18
And five. And then force yourself through six, knowing seven is going to be awesome.
Flyndaran
Hell no. Few episodes past season 3 are worth shit. So downhill from Dawn introduction on.
jrau18
Dawn served a purpose in season five, annoying in six, and then Joss made her awesome in seven.
JezzaYouLilRipper
Wait for season 3 & 4?
dreadpiratekhan
Yeah, the first two are important for character development and kind of appealing in a 90s period piece way, but a bit Monster-of-the-Weeky.
The22ndDoctor
Have to say 2. The Judge, Acathla, Willow's Goldfish, Kendra, Spike and Dru, Ford, Ampata, Jenny Calendar, "Don't you walk away from me, Bit
Squossifrage
Season 1 was done on a very low budget and never knowing how long they would be allowed to go on. By Season 2 they knew they could (1/2)
JezzaYouLilRipper
Aw yep mi comprende. I really liked season two though!
dreadpiratekhan
I'm not entirely sure what the 22nd Doc is trying to say, but I will add that Spike and Dru are one of my favorite TV villain pairs.
