Where did he betray that trust? And when has anyone in all of history been anything but infallible? He only gets your trust when he blows your mind on his most amazing days. When he falters, when he struggles or when it doesn't connect, when he becomes more human, he loses trust? When he becomes less perfect and coincidentally more like the characters we love - in those human moments of fault and failure.
If Spike does play a role later on in this season or he gets more firm references, I'm reserving the right to sing 'Na na na na na naaaaaaaaah'. ;)
It's really a moot point, I suppose, until the season is over. I'm enjoying the comics (though I'm still critical of them) and others who feel Joss has betrayed their 'trust' aren't. I guess I'm wondering what motivates those who feel this way about Season 8 to read it. Is it that the curiosity can't be contained even though you're already disappointed with the product?
Sorry if I'm coming off weird here. This discussion just made me very sad. Disillusionment and disappointment. I'm afraid I don't understand your perspective. If you're equating it to being betrayed, than I don't think I'm able to walk in your shoes and understand it. Normally I'm pretty good and judging a topic from different perspectives, but 'betrayal of trust' is a pretty huge emotion to feel regarding fiction.
