I'm pretty sure I can't say anything that you haven't already covered but I kinda feel like commenting anyway. Hope you don't mind.
But starting (for me; others saw it at different times) when he put down that shotgun and tried to comfort Buffy instead of killing her, we saw something good in Spike.
For me it was in his devotion to Dru. I mean sure he was evil but if he didn't have something different about him could he have cared for Dru for such a long time and not, I don't know, have just got sick of her and left her someplace, or staked her outright? I suppose her being his sire could have something to do with that devotion but of course I/we didn't know that when he first showed up.
All he did was LECTURE us on how WRONG it is that we are fans of the character! Hello!?
Well that's just rediculous. I mean... does he want to be out of work and have his character unloved? Obviously. Does he not want fans?
I sincerely beleive that Buffy was just as much if not more responsible for the horrors of the spuffy relationship in season 6. Maybe its just me but I always found the AR to be completely out of character.
Hmmm. Maybe he's just an asshole? Of course I've kinda thought that for a long, long time but... this is pretty much just confirmation. Then again I have this theory that meeting the actors who play the characters that you love can only end in disappointment... but that could be cos I'm a pessimist.
