maggie2Needless to say (!) I'm really happy about the preview pages. It could get me to revert to being a Spuffy.
But aside from wanting (like crazy) to speculate about Buffy's smile and Spike's not-made bed, here are three things that Dark Horse has delivered us about Spike:
1. It's now text that Spike has a more sizeable package than the other vampire. Proof? You don't boast to your ex about your package when she's in a position to make a direct comparison with your rival unless you think that comparison works for you.
2. Spike went to college. OK, this was pretty much a given -- but now it's unmistakeable.
3. He's got some sophisticated tastes underneath that bad rude exterior.
How many ways can I possibly say how happy I am that he's back at DH and being written by folks who know that there's more to Spike that womanizing and brawls?
Allie deserves a shout out on this. So here's me, shouting out.
Finally: does that scene not reek of "Trust is for old marrieds, Buffy"? I'll take it over space boinking and bestest day ever shenanigans any day of the week.

Date: 2010-09-22 04:27 am (UTC)The thing with Lost and this reference is that it's more than just a line of similarity. It's a great deal of overlap, from using the bottle to the whole plan to go down a cave into the heart of
the islandwonder to deal with the 'cork'. All of that has a similarity, and that's on top of all the other references from Watchmen onward.
I'd rather a bit less shout-outing. It sometimes feels like their dangling bright objects in front of us to distract us from the fact that in concrete terms the plot doesn't bear much scrutiny.
