In breaking up with Buffy in Season 10, is Spike finally doing what he wants rather than what Buffy wants, or is he being lazy and getting out before it gets too hard?
a) You imply it's the first time he's stood his ground but this happened in S9. He leaves despite her giving him reasons to stay.In breaking up with Buffy in Season 10, is Spike finally doing what he wants rather than what Buffy wants, or is he being lazy and getting out before it gets too hard?
Tough!I don't want him to mature. I want him to remain life's bitch.
I was talking about specifically the scene in Season 10. Because that was the season I was reading when I thought of the question. lola) You imply it's the first time he's stood his ground but this happened in S9. He leaves despite her giving him reasons to stay.
I thought it was that scene you were referring to - which is why I said " ("lazy" is the wrong word, though admittedly, there's part of him that's frightened of getting hurt)". What I think is driving him is fear - he thinks it'll be less painful (easier) now than later (and I'm not sure if Angel warned he'd do this). That - I think - is the irony in their situation. As Slayer and Vampire they're both fearless (they're not like us) - as Buffy and "William" they're both a bundle of neuroses (like most of us). The reason I like the S9 incident is he doesn't know whether he's done the right thing. The final frame as he flies away is "This could be a mistake". It's not clear initially who's talking saying it but I think it's Spike. He's falls into a deep depression about it but he finds the strength to stay away.I was talking about specifically the scene in Season 10.
