Angel and Spike seem to be convinced they're going to hell, which is decidedly worse. So, if that's the alternative, I can definitely see the appeal in wanting to live forever.
Oh, I agree with you that more life is better than hell. Or at least probably so (there are a lot of ways that infinite life could be a major league hell). It's not obvious to me that that's the alternatives the vampires are facing, though. Where does Shanshu fit on the menu? And is there any reason to think in this verse that a souled up vampire has a more direct line to hell than your average messed up sinful human being? Angel harps on it, but he's not a reliable witness. Hellbound was all Pavayne's doing, not a real report of their situation. Or am I getting that wrong? I'm under the impression that their fears notwithstanding, we don't really know what awaits Spike or Angel upon death.
