I mean, I like Spike with Drusilla. He was good as a villain in season 2, but after that, he just became a love sick crybaby with serious issues. He acts like a douchey teenage boy who never grew up and constantly pines over a girl who makes it clear she doesn't want him and then he tries to rape her. What kind of pairing is this???? And for someone like Whedon who always goes on and on about how obsessed with women issues he is to the point he comes off as self loathing of his gender, what the **** is he doing putting his star character with someone like Spike?????
Even physically, you can not say that Spike with his ramen noodle bleached hair is more handsome than Angel.
SMG has always been anti-spuffy and for good reason. He tried to rape her and that's just the tip of the iceburg... he stole her underwear numerous times, spent years trying to kill her, tried to break up her friendships with Willow and Xander at the end of season 4, and I could go on..
I freaking hate that argument! Spike the DEMON who just attempted rape went and got his soul and I'm supposed to what, swoon? It's ridiculous.
I watch this you tube series called Still Pretty and she just finished reviewing Season 7 "Beneath You" and she was saying how "everyone is thinking that asking for your soul is so much better than being cursed with one."
And Joss says something similar. But again, the reasons for getting his soul were selfish (to be with the object of his obsession - Buffy) and driven by his recent attempted rape, so color me unimpressed.
For me (and a lot of other people), the pairing you watched the show for in the early seasons was without a doubt, Buffy and Angel... It was devastating when Angel left.
I never bought into the Cangel stuff on Angel the series and it was barely even a pairing and as much as I like Cordelia and her character development, there is no effing way that angel loved her more than buffy... need I mention when he called out Buffy's name when he was supposedly in love with Cordelia? Cordelia went best with Doyle and they both loved each other, but both died tragically.
In the later seasons of Buffy's show... The pairing I watched it for was without a doubt Willow and Tara, and to a lesser degree Xander and Anya. They were by far better couples than Spuffy.
The whole Spuffy thing perplexes me. I mean, everyone can ship what they want and I definitely agree that people shouldn't be bashed for their ships, but I will never understand what Whedon and the writers see in Spuffy in terms of the actual canon. It has nothing on Bangel.

Btw sorry I deleted my original posting. I had way too many spelling errors so I just fixed then all and reposted it.
