I love the Whedonverse, Part 12

Why I Love the Whedonverse #12: Spike

Ah yes, Spike. Strange that he was originally going to be a one off villain, considering how important he later came to be. Frankly, I could write an entire post (or more) about Spike, but this isn't the time or place. Suffice it to say that the Whedonverse wouldn't be the same without him.

As a side note, I really like the fact that his and Angel's argument over who would win between cavemen and astronauts comes from "A Hole in the World". It's a rare funny part of a rather somber episode. It's hilariously stupid, yet so accurate as to how we all get in silly arguments like that. Besides, everybody knows that astronauts would win.

EDIT: The episode title is not "A Hole in the Ground". Last time I checked there weren't any hobbits in the episode, as Jonathan wasn't in it. Thanks to Erin for bringing that to my attention.
