Unless Buffy's character is somehow salvaged here, Angel is more than welcome to her.

Yeah, that's been my take on it for awhile. This character has no morals, empathy or spirit. Who is she? I don't even think I've read Bashfic that portrayed as so self-involved and childish.

I have a theory or two about what Whedon might do to save that character, but given everything in the books, I don't know if that's his plan. It seems like he has gone out of his way to paint her as unsympathetic as possible in the comics.

I don't know about Spike. Given the way he's utterly trashed the two main characters of the 'verse, I'm very sketchy Spike will remain unscathed.
