What are your top 5 Spike/Buffy scenes?
Oooooh, that's hard. Okay, I'm going to try and skip over the most obvious ones, and go for the smaller, simpler Spuffy scenes that I love.
1. The last scene in Intervention is a given. This is the first time Spike's ever shown that his love could be selfless, and it's also the first time Buffy see him as something other than a monster.
2. The scene where he says, "I'd do it. Right person, person I loved. I'd do it." It seems small, but again, it shows that Spike's love for Buffy has a very selfless nature to it. He's obviously saying, "I'd do it for you."
3. When she admits to him that she was in heaven, or rather, his concern for her before that. When he sees she's really upset, he calls her "Buff," but then he tries to keep to the status quo by calling her "Slayer." It's honest, genuine concern, and I think that's part of the reason Buffy tells him. Also I love that she says "I can be alone with you."
4. When Spike tells her she's better than her job at... whatever that horrid fast food restaurant was. Again, gotta love caring Spike. He also offers to help her financially, being the first one of her friends to do so.
5. The little moment in First Date in Season 7, after Spike gets tossed around by the demon. Buffy runs over to him, and the look they share is just so obviously love. And then the screen pans to the Principal, and you can see that he sees it too. Love that!
Which season's Spike/Buffy do you like best?
Five is a given. I'm torn with Six; it has both some of the best Spuffy scenes and some of the absolute worst. But I guess I do like it, because it is pivitol to their relationship. Seven's great, too, although Potentials and other annoying plotlines kinda drag it down. Spuffy was definitely the highlight.
Which of the show's writers do you think "got" Spike/Buffy the most?
I actually don't know many of the writers. I think Whedon got him pretty well from the interviews I read. He seemed to really like Spike's redemption plotline, even though it wasn't strictly planned.
Which of the show's writers do you think "got" Spike/Buffy the least?
FURY. I hate Fury. Okay, no, I don't hate him, but I hate his ideas about Spike. Let go of your canon, man! You're the ones who broke it, so don't try to fix it once you already smashed it to bits!
Which is your favourite Spike/Buffy kiss?
OMWF. Love the scene before that too, when he stops her from burning and sings to her. Amazing!
