I think in the end, I love Methos much more than Spike.
**faints**

You've just reminded me why I loved Spike so much... and made me realize that the post-season-5 version is such a pale shadow of a memory of the formerly complex, kickass character, that I really should stop kidding myself and waiting for My Spike to make a come-back. What with the show being almost over, and still ran by the morons from ME.
What hurts me the most about the way they "developed" the character is that I can't respect this Spike, either. I guess this is why "Beneath You" and "LMPTM" are my two favorite episodes from the otherwise despised season. At least there Spike fought back, and told his tormentors off instead of meekly taking their abuse as his due. Oh, and this is why I cherish that defiant look at the First when Spike was being carved on the cross. My boy was back, if briefly.
