Huh-uh. Not buying it. While Spike may have more humanity in him, it's because Angelus is just a LOT more evil, not because he's good in any form. Spike didn't hit Xander in self-defense, Xander was attacking *him* in self defense. or rather, in defense of Willow, who Spike was about to kidnap. He was nice to Willow because he needed her to cast th love spell for him. And really, he wasn't Mr. Hospitality at that. He didn't hurt Joyce because he wasn't searching for a meal and she was someone he could spill his tale of woe to. Don't forget that in this very episode he killed an innocent shopkeeper. He also left Buffy to die (or so he thought) in BII and reminisced about murdering a homeless man with Dru in this episode. The only reason Spike helped Buffy in the first place was because it was to *his* benefit to do so.Do I love Spike? Yes, I think he's a wonderful character. Is he a cool villain? Yep, and I want to see more of him. But he's still a remorseless killer with no humanity in him. - -Jaina "I'm a moose. A blue one."

I do find it surprising that no one seems to have really looked into whether what Willow did to Angel was the exact same re-souling that the gypsys did the first time. I would think this is a rather important point. If there is no "moment of true happiness" catch to the restoration performed by Willow, there's an opening for Buffy and Angel to get close again. And I assume this is the reason Buffy has decided to distance herself from him, although I guess there could be more to it than that. If there is a "moment of true happiness" clause, well, I don't want to start anew the "isn't Angel a ticking time bomb who deserves to die" argument but at the very least it's something I assume the gang would want to know. I mean, we already know one thing that makes Angel "truly happy" and one can hardly blame him. But it certainly can't be the only thing. For example, I'm pretty easy to please. If I were Angel, just watching a good episode of The Simpsons would trigger the removal of my soul. If it is true that, as you say, he cannot having a loving, lasting relationship with anyone it does pose some challenges for the Angel spin-off show. I trust the creative team but taking romance involving the show's lead -- or at least the possibility of it -- out of a program really puts you at a disadvantage if you ask me. I assume Cordelia will be there mainly for comic relief, not to have a romantic relationship with Angel. And comic relief is one thing Angel certainly can't provide. I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I'd bet he's the only character on this show not to have shown any sign of a sense of humor. I'm pretty anxious to get more information regarding exactly what this Angel show is going to be like. All I've heard is the standard: it's going to be darker and more adult than Buffy, Angel will be battling his personal demons etc. If it really is a dark show about a tortured soul battling demons and the like, it sort of sounds a lot like this year's Brimstone on Fox, which I enjoy watching but judging from its ratings, I'm unique. - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 23:57:25 +0000 From: Jack Welsh Subject: Re: BUFFY: Oz and Willow reconcile?

But it is true, I did notice some scenes in the opening credits never appeared in an episode (or haven't yet anyway).

But there's a couple shots of Nicholas Brendon that I don't remember ever seeing. One when he pops up from behind something, that's one I don't think I've seen. Plus the Willow/Oz kiss. And Willow casting that glowing spiraly thing, I'm not sure if I've seen that one. My guess was that the scenes got cut somewhere along the line, or that the episodes were shot out of order.

In the credits sequence, Willow is wearing a brown/burgundy colored shirt and has her book bag slung over one arm. Oz is wearing a white shirt with black speckles.

When the TV PTB decide that the show has run it's course, move to syndication and a (string of !) big screen projects. As to a "Next Gen" it would have to be cast and written very carefully, (the characters and interactions are a very big part of why it's worth watching). The idea of a literal new generation, ie the current group's kids taking their turn at bat (as it were) could be a hoot, if done right. How much family history is passed on, and how much is attempted to be hidden? In many small towns there is not a lot of faculty/staff turnover (barring retirement) so we could have kids bumping up against memories from twenty plus years back, a la the admin guy from "Back to the Future". .
