How far have you got now? And what'd Spike have to go and get MOAR DEPTH for, anyway? It only makes it worse. First he was just my favourite television villain ever, because he was fun and had a pretty coat and was psychotic but not flat and I liked his relationship with Drusilla (and the Evil Thing Of Doom's comment in "Surprise" that the two of them stunk of humanity -- "you share affection and jealousy"). And then he went to Buffy for help in "Becoming, Part II", and had that moment of almost-compassion ("God, he's gonna kill her", and then he shakes it off and leaves), and then there was "Lover's Walk" and pouring out his troubles to Mrs Summers over cocoa, and then there was S4, and...I'm gone. I'm completely lost. It's hopeless. Oh dear. I may need to take to cocoa myself.
