They made a pretty good case as to why he'll be stuck like this with no solution so I'm curious to see how they get him back. <br /><br />@Anonymous: That's pretty fair tbh. It was funny to me at the time, but why would Angel even offer a compliment like about his poems in the first place? And yeah it doesn't feel right that they'd know these details about each other. <br /><br />That shot of Pavayne yanking Spike's head back when he was behind him and Spike was nude turned me on, wtf. It was so rapey. Stupid sexy Flanders. <br />I also liked the way they animated the Hell hole opening up right around that moment too, it looked oddly pretty. Smoke-ily revealing the toothed entrance and all.Onigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45578081903676908372018-12-26T03:21:55.706-05:002018-12-26T03:21:55.706-05:00I am a lifelong Buffy fan, but super late in the A...I am a lifelong Buffy fan, but super late in the Angel game and loving it. I am a bit sad it is almost over...<br /><br />Anyway, coming from BtVS as my main reference to the Buffyverse (and watching Angel over a couple of months) my point of view can be rather Buffy-centric. However, try as I might, I can't figure out how Angel would know Spike was insane in the basement, or how Spike would know Angel likes Barry Manilow. Little things like that. Angel only found out Spike had a soul at the beginning of Chosen when he has a brief conversation with Buffy. I don't see her filling him in on such intimate details in 5 minutes. And Spike had very few interactions with Angel over the last century, and I doubt that they exchanged CDs...<br /><br />Seems nitpicky, I know, but it is the little things...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-64735765983201387912013-05-23T23:14:19.236-04:002013-05-23T23:14:19.236-04:00I'm not really loving Spike's role as the ...I'm not really loving Spike's role as the new ghostie of L.A. Don't get me wrong; I love Spike and was absolutely devastated by his death on the finale of Buffy. He's probably the best character the Buffyverse created, in my opinion. However, the circumstances of his death had such a feeling of tragic finality that bringing him back in any form cheapened it a bit for me. Coming back as a manner of ghost takes away from some of the powerful impact of him sacrificing himself to save the world. How cruel can those powers be? It seems even more unfair that, after all he's done, he's still straddling a hell dimension in his spare time. I would think that if there was anything-- ANYTHING-- he could have done to earn redemption, letting his soul burn him into nothing in order to save the world would have been it. Instead, our champion got cheated into playing the incorporeal little mermaid who has to be a good little boy for the next god-knows-how-long before he can get his reward. As Spike would say: what a load of bollocks.XandraGrlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90757902385093069382011-07-18T17:20:12.244-04:002011-07-18T17:20:12.244-04:00The guy who played Mathias Pavayne is Simon Temple...The guy who played Mathias Pavayne is Simon Templeman. While not famous for his tv roles, he is a legend in certain circles(video game voice acting). Most people remember him from Dragon Age and Legacy of Kain series.zobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715413225081718476noreply@blogger.com
