Some one want to try and prove me wrong?

Geez, can we maybe give him a little more time than that to declare him a fraud who didn't know the answer and was scared off because of it? Not everyone can be online every single day.

Oh, and I've got a question, too: What year was Spike sired by DruSilla?

Yeah but I'm bored.

And I assure everyone that I'm not reading anything from the internet or re-watching the eps. when I answer. I answer as soon as I read the question. Off the top of my head. If I don't know the answer at the time, I'll tell you so.

Not eveyone may believe that, but it's true and this is just for fun. And on the off chance that someone knows something I didn't, I might learn something about my favorite character.

But like I said, this is all for fun. If you agree with GROUNDED then don't bother. It's not life and death.

Her name was never said on the episode. You'd have to have read interviews with the writers or look at the cast list on IMDB.

I know the answer...I even know what the first choice for her name was before it was changed, but I'm just saying that it's not a fair question.

It would be an unfair question for just a casual Buffy fan, but for someone who claims to know everything about Spike, I think it's a good test--a fair question, but with a high level of difficulty. Certainly more challenging than softballs like 'What year was he sired?', or 'Which eye does he have a scar over?'

And you wouldn't have to 'read an interview' with the writers to learn it. Just listen to the episode commentary for "Lies My Parents Told Me"--a source of info easily available to anyone with the DVDs...

You guys caught me on a bad day.

In School Hard, he says to Angel, "You were my sire man, my... Yoda!"

In all fairness I haven't memorized every word he's said. I think he's made some Princess Liah refs but I don't know for sure.

In sort of the same vein as the last question, name at least 5 TV show references Spike has made. I say 5 because that's what I can remember off hand right now, but I know there's gotta be more because it seemed to me like he talked about his beloved cheesy TV shows a lot.

He usualy makes refrence to movies like Star Wars, or Gone with the Wind, or Ghostbusters. The only Tv I can recall off the top of my head would be Passions and Dawnsone's Creek. And I think Dr. Who, but I think that was Andrew. Not overly sure. I do this all onsite here so I don't give myself much time to think about it. There's probably more, but that's all I can come up with.

Can you think of any more?

P.S. I had to physicaly restrain myself from looking this up before answering. Just thought you'd like to know that I enjoy the more challenging questions. I may not get them all right, or have an answer for some, but I'm having fun.

That is a very strange question...

You mean Spike Lee?

He don't count.

Were talking BtVS or Ats here, not anything else.

The show never said weather he had siblings or not, and I'm pretty sure that Andrew was the only one to make a movie...

Man, you really know everything about Spike! I'm impressed. I was going to ask you a question about Spike from Gremlins, but IMDB told me that his name was actually Stripe.

The answer, if you cared, was Crooklyn (1994).

I'm out of trivia man. I didn't watch either shows, though I've seen some Angel now on TNT and I have to admit that it is pretty watchable.

I'd like to say that when I posted this, I didn't want it to become some live triva interrogation, like I think it's becoming.

What I meant personaly when I said I knew everything, was that I like to think I could tell people what he might have thought during a situation or what he was feeling or something like that.

If someone was interested in writing a Spike centric Fic I could help out maybe.

What I'm trying to say is, that I'm not a trivia wiz like some people out there. I'm not that much of a geek and I haven't watched the show for some time now. Even though I do own every season of Buffy and Angle.

I don't mean to discourage any people from posting, but I didn't do this to seem like a know-it-all. I really just wanted to give insight into my favorite character.

I know a lot of the trivia, but not everything.
Sorry to mislead you.

But keep the questions coming and I'll answer as many as I can.

You could have asked about that Spike in that Anime show... What's the name of that show? You know the one where they're space bounty hunters? What ever I can't remember. But the main chacter's name was Spike as well.

When you first posted this thread, it certainly seemed like you were asking for trivia questions, not insight about thoughts and feelings. And the latter is very subjective. No two fans will have the same opinion about what Spike or any other character thought, or did, or meant to do...

The 5 TV shows I was thinking about were Dawson's Creek, Passions, Falcon Crest (in Dirty Girls), Chico and the Man (in Hellbound), and Knight Rider (in Underneath). I'm sure there are others...he seemed to love cheesy tv shows second only to Awesome Blossoms.

The anime with the bounty hunter named Spike is Cowboy Bebop.

I'm just taking a guess here as I don't know any of the character's names on the show (But it is a pretty cool show)..... Cowboy Bebop?

You're right, it's very subjective. Maybe I should have thought about it more. But I enjoy debating things like that. Perhasps I should have named this thread something like "Debating Spike" or whatever.

I do trivia, but I just wanted to get across that I don't know every line.

I remember Knight Rider now that you mention it, but I haven't heard of the other shows. So technechaly you can't put me to fault about that one. :) I didn't know they were shows.

Still, keep firing questions. Or maybe start debating with me. It's all for fun.

And Cowboy Bebop is the one I was thinking of thank you.

What if Spike never recieved the chip from the Initiative? Would he have slept w/Buffy? Saved Sunnydale and the world? Fought alongside Angel?

I want to say no. As much as I love Spike. I think if he never got the chip in his head he would've just ended up another notch in Buffy's stake instead.

So, while Spike taunted Angel about him choosing to get his soul back while Angel had his forced back on him, the chip was every bit the curse that the gypsy's was for tall dark and brooding, eh? One was magic and the other was science, and both achieved the same ends.
Interesting.

Difference was, Spike was fun.

Psychotic, chaotic, anarchic. But a lot more amusing than a syphilitic drunk cod-Irishman. With poofy hair.

Pre-chip Spike was already crushing on Buffy. The chip stopped him getting staked long enough to have something approaching a conversation.


Then, my list of favourite men runs along the lines of Spike, young Lex, Draco, Jayne, Snake Plissken, John Constantine (the REAL one), Jack Sparrow...

Forget the cannolli. Bring the guns.

This is a little off-topic from the subject of this thread, but I figure that everyone reading it is probably a Spike fan, so...

If you get a chance, you oughta check out the new Buffy novel "Blackout". It's set in 1977 New York, and fills out the story of Spike, Nikki, et al, and all the events surrounding those too-brief flashbacks in "Fool for Love" and "Lies My Parents Told Me". (It'll spoil you nearly thru to the end of S7, tho, so if you don't want that, only pick it up after finishing the series.)

A large percentage of the previous Buffy and Angel novels have been underwhelming, to say the least, but the two latest ones--"Blackout", and "Go Ask Malice" (about Faith, pre-SunnyD)--are very good, and give reason to hope that maybe future ones will match their quality. I know KRAD is a sometimes-poster here, so if you're reading this, Keith--awesome job, dude!!

That is a very big IF.

Umm...

There are a lot of things to take into consideration.

We can tell Spike already had the hots for Buffy in School Hard. The way he watches her on the dance floor.

Dru knew, the flash back in Fool For Love. The whole "I look at you and all I see is the Slayer"

And though Buffy never gave any indication I like to think she had the hots for him too.

If she can hate him then that means she respects him. The same holds to him. Many things can some from respect. Trust. Comdardary. Friendship.

Spike never lost that spark of humanity in him. William just had too big of a heart for the demon to kill. The way he sires his mother. The Judge telling him that he reeked of humanity. The way he talks with Joyce over hot cocco...

I think he would have followed a similar path if he hadn't had the chip implanted. He still would have loved Dawn like a daughter and still wanted to shag Buffy senceless
