You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other until it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children, it's blood -- blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Is that a Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster behind your desk?” I couldn’t keep the humor and stunned shock out of my voice. She laughed and pulled me toward the kitchen. “Team Spike forever.

He [Spike] has already demonstrated a capacity to love, already demonstrated a capacity to be selfless, and, possibly most importantly, has demonstrated that he has a conscience.

...Spike may be the most "hybridized" character in terms of gender, within the show he is presented until the last moment as a failure.

Spike: "Thanks, but I make it a point to stay away from literature lovers. The reality never matches the fantasy.

Want to explain to the kid that I'm more a Spike than a Buffy? A villain, not a superhero?

Throughout the relationship Spike has ignored Buffy's denials, even though it was fairly clean that Buffy's "no" didn't mean no and ambivalent scenes such as this paved the way for the "real" violence of the attempted rape...there are strong links between love, sex, and violence, and Spike uses romantic heterosexual love as a "defense" of sexualized violence.

And don't you dare hold out on me.

In one LiveJournal group, an intense Buffy the Vampire Slayer devotee illustrated her feelings thus, by caption-parodying that scene where Spike yells at Angel and Buffy: You’re not cis. You’ll never be cis. You’ll be trans ’til it kills you. You’ll fight, and you’ll shag, and you’ll hate yourself ’til it makes you quiver, but you’ll never be cis. Transgenderism isn’t brains, children, it’s blood! Blood screaming inside you to work its will!

One wonders if Spike would ever have achieved true decency or validity in their [Scooby Gang] eyes, no matter what he did, as long as he was missing the thing which they believed makes a being valid, worthy, moral, and redeemable- a soul.

Spike is sensitive not only in that he is easily hurt but also in the "feminine" way of being attuned to situations, relationships, and underlying emotions, as his frequently perceptive comments demonstrate. this ability to articulate his emotions also explains why his character fits so well into "Buffy", a show that consistently values this trait...

The beatings are further proof that Spike's "humiliation," the level to which he has sunk, and a physical sign of vulnerability. But they are also "sexy wounds" (as Buffy playing Robot-Buffy says in "Intervention"), since Spike's body is displayed to be looked at. Further, as with Angel and Dru, Spike and Buffy's relationship uses pain/violence as eroticism (when Spike tells Buddy "I love you," she responds "You're in love with pain" ["Smashed"]). Mulvey's association of voyeurism, sadism, and narrative is useful here.

Spike: You coddled me. Filled my head with impossible dreams. Made me weak. Set me up for the world to crush me. I had to be strong to survive. I had to change.

God, you two drive me crazy. It’s like watching a TV show where the two main characters are clearly in love, but the writers draw that shit out just to torture us. Like Mulder and Scully. Or Buffy and Spike.” Her lips twist. “I’m calling you guys ‘Spuffy’ from now on.

As it relates to Buffy, I’m in the middle of season four, which, frankly, is the long slog on Riley.” “The long what?” “To my mind, be Team Spike or be Team Angel—I suppose. I don’t really get the latter, but I respect it. But Riley? That’s like being pro-beige.
