I filled out their application form and asked to be notified if they don't choose to archive it. I asked for the opportunity to submit the revised version which corrects things like what a taser looks like and that Buffy has an SUV, not a station wagon, and some other inconsistencies that developed chapter by chapter as I was writing it. I'll let you know what happens. Nan

What is Spike could come back as a brunette -- afterall, would he have a chance to dye it while in Heaven or wherever? Would the die-hards still like their Spike if he had brown hair and could therefore actually get other parts... And wouldn't it have been great to see him bald if he had been in Star Trek: Nemesis!

I was wondering that too. I would like to at least see him with roots, if not totally dark hair. I'm not sure that the WB would go for it though. They might put pressure on not to change the look of a popular character.

No going back to his natural color. And he must retain the leather coat that goes swoosh when he walk. He can ditch the black jeans for some black leather pants though. That I wouldn't mind at all. Love the look, feel and smell of leather (mmmmmmmmmmmm) Ok, back to reality now. Have been reading way too much Spike Fan Fic today. Need cig.

Yea, you are probably right. Forgot about that. Well if it's the PTB that restores him, well then I'll just put in a request to restore him in leather from head to tow. How's that? BTW, found this pic and not sure if any of you have seen it. But he sure looks good enough to eat don't you all think?

//What is Spike could come back as a brunette -- afterall, would he have a chance to dye it while in Heaven or wherever?// James might appreciate it too. I'm sure all that constant dying can't be healthy on the scalp. There was a reference a while back to Spike looking like some preacher -- Doc made it at some point during season 5. Wouldn't it be interesting if James were to play that character instead -- then no hair dye, no phony British accent ... Don't panic. The WB specifically said it would be Spike that would be joining AtS, not just James. So he won't be playing any other characters, unless he pulls double duty.Here's a thought -- Anne/Lilly/Chanterelle is still running that shelter for runaways in Los Angeles. And she once made a statement about being Sister Sunshine at some point with a goofy traveling preacher -- could it have been Caleb, or could it have been the Spike lookalike? What if it was the latter? And she meets Spike in Los Angeles? Also note, they did meet once before in Sunnydale, and although it was brief and I doubt she might remember him after all the comotion, he might remember her. But she looked different as Chanterelle. So just imagine -- these two meet again, he can't place where he's seen her before, she swears he's the preacher, but he knows that isn't it, but she becomes even more convinced that's it since he does seem to recoginize her ..... BTW -- wouldn't it be nice if they were to ever answer the question of where it is Halfrek knows William from, i.e., is Halfrek Cecily?

Spring-Nan-thank you for your comments re: Spike & effulgence-I must confess though that I was specifically channeling the 2 of you- I was certain one of you were going to post that b/4 I did-One reason (among 4000) that I love this board is b/c I get so many varied perspectives on a show I happen to adore- I find myself flipping back and forth between varying viewpoints and at the end of a furious posting analysis I often discover that my own perspective has broadened so tht it can encompass many of the differing even contradictory responses ( I contain multitudes...) I find myself looking for lodestars in many different areas of my life and on this board your 2 viewpoints (in terms of analyzing Buffy function quite well.) Just returning from the doctor's office- where sitting there flushed and feverish I discovered to my chagrin I had put my Logger's shirt (as a jacket) on inside out. I must have looked a total spazz. I decided to pretend ( to the cute little 4 year old who pointed it out) that I had done it on purpose. ( We live on the Lower East Side and it is practically de rigeour to dress like found items!) He looked so disappointed I immediately 'fessed up and he giggled. (I have that effect on little kids- when I worked for the city and still wore dreads- one of my client's 3 year olds piped up upon first seeing me"look mommy- it's a Muppet". ellie

So, do you guys go for the hair/heir pun? I thought it was almost Nan worthy.

Ok, running two boards is already starting to get mighty annoying. I'm not sure I like bouncing back and forth between here and the Chosen discussion on board 32. Vlad, please make a note of this for the new board -- having more than one discussion active at the same time really sucks canal water. At least, that's my vote, for what it's worth.

Ellie, I think that's a delightful thing to have been called, so long as the kid didn't think you looked like either Cookie Monster, Big Bird, or Elmo. Any of the others, including Kermit THE Frog, would have been fine with me in similar circumstances. Muppets R GOOD. All I've ever been called, after all, is a Victorian sofa. Nan

Here's some thoughts on how Spike will show up on Angel, or rather, eleminating some possibilities. After all, we do know that Joss generally does not like to repeat himself. Although he did somewhat repeat himself with having two vampires with a soul, but he went with a variation on a theme the second time. Anyhow, this is how some of the characters that were ressurected on Buffy and Angel were done so. Any of these might be somewhat mimicked, but we be pretty sure we won't see them completely replayed. ANGEL -- After Buffy ran him through with the sword and sent him to the hell dimension, he plopped to the floor of the mansion naked. While that might be a lot of Spike fans' favorite, it has been done before. A side note, Angel came back like an animal, but still had the mind to put some pants on before going out -- what was up with that? Not that I wanted Angel running around Sunnydale all full monty, but it's sort of like why is it the Hulk always destroyed every piece of clothing he had on -- except his pants always survived without so much as a rip. DARLA -- Wolfram & Hart brought her back, human. While many would like to see Spike shanshu, the fact that Darla has already done the return from the great beyond as a human sort of eliminates that. Although remember, nothing's stopping Joss from doing a variation on an existing theme. BUFFY -- Willow performed her ressurection spell that really pissed Giles off. Oh, and Xander did CPR, but since Spike wasn't drowning (in footwear or otherwise), we can sort of eliminate Fred performing CPR. Anyhow, I don't think anyone at Angel Investigations has the knowhow or even enough desire to bring Spike back through a deliberate spell. CORDELIA -- Came back from the the higher plane sans memories. Sort of eliminates the possibility of Spike showing up in Los Angeles without his memories, especially since this only happened last season on Angel -- even as a variation on a theme, this one is a bit recent and would feel a little too much like jumping the shark regardless of how much Joss tweaked it. CONNOR -- Returned from Koritath (or however it's spelled) a lot older. Ok, so he wasn't really dead, but in a way, Angel and Cordelia weren't dead either, they just went to different dimensions like Connor did. And Angel's return was not unlike Connor's -- both were in hell dimensions where time moved differently, the only real difference is that Connor being more or less human showed his age when he returned. Unless Spike shanshus and then spends a long time in a hell dimension -- sort of canceling out the reward deal -- we can expect him to return roughly looking the same age as he left. Oh, and a note -- while Spike's body did seem to burn up, whether or not he truly died is yet to be seen. He could have simply ascended to another plane, been transformed somehow, etc. This is the Buffyverse. We're so quick to say he died, but in reality, his demise was not a dusting like any other vampire. Buffy often refers to having killed Angel, but in reality, she didn't kill him, she sent him to another dimension, not unlike what happened to Connor or Cordelia, who did not die. And that very well looks the case with Spike.
