Yep, a poll on Spike's role in AtS S5

will35
Yes, this is prompted by the discussion in my post about Spike in AtS S5 plus a couple questions I've been meaning to ask for a while on the Buffy/Angel Chosen scene. Anyway, I'm not looking/expecting validation for my opinions here (I do get the idea that I'm in the minority). But this does seem to be a somewhat divisive issue among Spike-fans, and I'd like to open it up to get an idea as to my flist leanings (since not everybody comments...you get more opinions with a poll). Obviously, you don't have to be a Spike fan to take the poll, though. ;)

And I know that a lot of these answers have conditionals or require explanation by you guys. For most of the questions, I went with a generic "Are you okay with..." phrasing which kinda gives you some freedom to have problems with the item in question but, on the whole, still be alright with it.

Feel free to discuss your answers if you feel like it. And if you don't, that's cool, too.



Small edit, but I feel it important to note that for the question regarding NFA, I'm not asking about your opinion on the actual episode, itself. Just on your take on the episode in relation to Spike's character arc. Slight distinction, but keep that in mind. Thankee!

And yet his offhand comment to Buffy works because he displays clear empathy with her, delivers it well, and tells her just what she needs to hear without prattling on needlessly. Wesley cuts him off because it doesn't work because Spike drops several emotional IQ points in his interaction, delivers it horribly, and rambles on in an irrelevant topic that Wesley doesn't need or care to hear about.

Apples and oranges, honestly.
