Re: I have a theory

*sigh* You know, this always happens. I read something, formulate an opinion on it, go to post it, and realize that someone's already said exactly what I wanted to, albeit probably more intelligently than I would have XP

All this completely contradicts many other things that I've heard JM has said, and I'm completely shocked by it. I don't expect much better from the writers and from Joss, it's what they've been spouting all along, but James seemed to come across much more intelligently, and fairly, in other articles, interviews and transcripts. I've read articles many, many times where he's said that he played Spike with more soul than was written, but never one where he said he regretted that.

I completely resent the implication that we've been "blinded" by abs and cheekbones, and I hate it when people tell me that that's the only reason I love Spike.

I'm going to Tampa as well, and my expectations for the con have just dropped considerably. I really hope I'm not disappointed further by him, because, reading that, it almost feels like I've been betrayed. This is someone that I admired for his opinions and honesty, and the fact that he cares about his fans. So, I really, truly hope that those of us who think it's something going on behind the scenes are right, because I'm not sure how I would take the fact that he seems to have completely changed his viewpoint into something that appalling and untrue.

For the record, I fully agree with everything you said (for me, also, it was the moment when he put down the gun that
I started seeing something completely different in Spike), and so I've friended you back :)

I think I'm going to write him a letter, actually, explaining to him my views on Spike, and asking what makes him feel what he does toward him, because this is something that I would expect from some of the anti-Spikes that I've talked to, certainly not JM himself.
