There's a bunch of news buzzing about Spike in S8. I feel a little left out because I don't have much of an emotional stake in any of that. But I do like Spike, so I figured I'd do us all up a poll on the guy. One question for each season of the TV show. I don't know near enough about S8 to do a question for that. Sorry.
Enjoy. :)

Spike's definitely the rogue type. Probably also some witty comments about Captain Forehead.
Why'd Spike come to Sunnydale in S2?
I was literally thinking, "There should be a both 1 and 2 option" and then it magically appeared. Clearly I have magical powers.

Me and Spike, kindred lovers of the pink sweater.

Yeah, he'd go for Buffy.

Had to go with 'Intervention', but I was sorely tempted to choose his Ben/Glory explanation.

I lean toward yes. I think 'Seeing Red' is proof enough that, without the chip, he can and would do evil in some situations, his various good deeds notwithstanding.

Gotta go with Giles; trying to kill Spike was a bridge too far. Threats and judgment are pretty much fair game. And Spike asked Buffy to leave, so not a whole lot of blame there.
Clearly. :)

I said yes, though for a slightly different reason. Buffy had been giving Spike a pretty thorough verbal beatdown in Smashed to put him in his place. I think he'd have killed the woman because he was living down to Buffy's expectations of him.
I lump that under the umbrella term 'some situations.' (Tip to all the kiddies out there: Always speak so vaguely that you can twist into anything you need it to be later.)
