So tell me again that soulless Spike can't feel. :)
Not what I said, original premise of the show was that vampires, having no soul's, can't feel love.  Anything they did with Spike after that, before he was ensouled, was pure fan-wanking.

Wanking is something completely different than the term MAW used, which is fanwanking. Don't get them confused, lol, it might be embarrassing in the long run :)

I'll email you the rest of my thoughts if you like. We're kinda going overboard on the OT posts on this board, lol.

Thanks, I'd appreciate that!  :)

Not what I said, original premise of the show was that vampires, having no soul's, can't feel love.  Anything they did with Spike after that, before he was ensouled, was pure fan-wanking.

I guess should have used the word "love" a little more in my explanation but I still think it applies. Spike's character was written inconsistently so the way he was portrayed at different times was mutually exclusive of other attitudes and behaviors. And other claims made by the show. The show said that vampires couldn't feel love but then they proved themselves wrong by showing obvious displays of genuine love in Spike. Yet at other times they strenghthened their argument by playing up his affects as creepy and misguided. Not to fault the show...what they did was very effictive in keeping interest and investment in the ship alive. But I still maintain that it was artistic "cheating" of sorts, if that makes any sense.

Anyone else notice how much James Marsters looks like James Dean? Personally, I think Marsters is actually better looking (which is saying something) but if you look at their features they really do resemble each other.

Okay, that's actually kind of frightening.

Glad I'm not the only one.  ;) I will admit James Dean looks a little like James Franco as well, who is actually cast to play him in a movie if I'm not mistaken. Whatever features of Marsters that don't look exactly like James Dean are covered by James Franco. (What is it about all these boys names "James...?")  ;D
