Passions is on!

My fave Spike scene is the one with Willow after they put a chip in his head. I don't want to ruin it for anyone so.. no spoilers

@@nimzakrood The best love story on the show was Spike and Passions.

@@uniquerebeljaney3639 and if you make me miss it I'll- Giles: you'll do what? Lick me to death?! 😂😭

Him and Joyce bonding over Passions 👌👌👌

I don't know about the cast, but since pretty much everyone needs to vent at some point I would totally respect that he excused himself to go do that in private rather than yell at other people around him.

James said that sarah never does meet and greets or comic conventions. I couldn’t believe It

I met him back in 2019. He’s an absolute gent. Very nice guy, very generous with his time. Answered all questions. Even answered questions I never thought of asking. He’s a lovely human being!!😊😊

@@amg4150 on a other talk show he said that smg came up to him and to,d him not to hit on her. I think she is arrogant

@@toughmom7597 who did sarah Come up to who and said not to flirt ? Sarah comes across as very stand offish. She always looks angry.i’m not a big fan of hers.

Haha, my exact thoughts! Pretty sad I guess....

Come people... This isn't a spectator sport! *british accent* 🤣

Angel is a vampire. Spoiler

That’s awesome! I just got to the first appearance of spike on my like 6th or seventh full series watch. Every time I forget that he was supposed to be offed early and forgotten. His performance even from the beginning was amazing. Hence why he was kept around. As a teen I was on angels side for being the one for Buffy and sort of the “better man” but as an 35 year old adult now I see Spike was the better man for her. Spike was a bad guy trying to do good. That’s some loyalty and power if you really think about it. He tried and tried to keep doing good things even though deep down he was a monster. Being older now makes me appreciate the value in someone who keeps trying after all the failures, even catastrophic ones like Spike had. He literally tried to rape buffy and he STILL tried to make it better. Angel is too Edward for me now. I loved him in Angel and liked the love he and Cordelia developed. She was a better fit for him.

Yup. But I didn't like the fact that when he got a soul they diluted his ability to fight as well as he did when he was a baddie. All the other baddies had to do was give him one punch or fling him across the room and he was out for the rest of the fight scene 🙄

Magnanimous is not the word for it

Same. Met him at DragonCon and he was so damn cool.

That is so cool!

I met him as well in Blackpool. He was lovely.

@@jinxjinx9722 same he was such a sweetheart. Very engaging.

I met him too. He’s a gentlemen! Very nice guy. Very down to earth. Very approachable. Meeting him was a dream come true. He’s a true professional

Agree 100%. I liked him from his first appearance,he was a handsome vampire and that accent is sexy. He was my favorite character along with Druscilla. Glad Joss kept him on the show.

yes Spike was my crush too! Those eyes, his voice his hair and one of the best cheek bones ever. James and Morten (from that band Aha) have those Greek/Roman carved facial structures. Such a blessing for them

@@lessismore8533 I did *not* expect Morten Harket to be mentioned in this thread lol. (I'm Norwegian.) But yeah, see what you mean.

He was/is gorgeous 😍

@@lessismore8533 - Lol, me too! Both James and Morten were unbelievably beautiful! (And they both still look great!)

Hahaha same

That’s what I thought too 😭

Not if you're depressed or have low self-confidence. Then the opposite applies lol

​@monmothma3358 It certainly does. The dispiriting dissection of some event that probably nobody else even remembers.

aye mate, because actors will go to comic-con and just be cunts to their fans.....

Both Billys, after all, Liam ia from WilLIAM.

I thought angel didn’t remember his real name??

@@kurtsnyder4752 No Angel remembers, he even mentions it once or twice. It is Darla who notes that she can't remember what her old human name was anymore.

@@mking1982098 Slight misdirect with this comment, Should have been to A MG. Human pre-Darla was pretty far gone in physical health, maybe even feverish when she was turned. Maybe she wasn't even "in" her mind at the time so most human memories were gone

@@amg4150 I noticed that too. many scripts have errors like this.

I meat him in person

hi James

He does the voice acting for the Dresden Files audio books and he is amazing.

Like a southern family reunion? (low hanging fruit, I know.)

The “oh we’re like siblings, we’re like brother and sister” that’s such a PR thing to say. Every actor practically says that and it drives me nuts. LOL.

The interviewer doesn't seem to understand that male and female work colleagues can have a professional and platonic relationship and not fall in love with one another.

@@tuny5367 The interviewer Michael Rosenbaum is an actor himself and knows all too well about doing such scenes during his time as Lex Luthor on _Smallville_

@@ParadiseVids Actors spend lots and lots of time together in and out of character, and there is an aspect of "growing up together" as each grows into their character and the characters grow together. So I would be inclined to believe that sibling-like relationships occur a lot. On film sets, relationships maybe tend to be more carnal.

Ok. I could lie and say I am not jealous. But sighs. I just can't afford to be struck by lightning 😔⚡😂 You lucky af!!❤❤❤

I agree. He was a vampire but his actions spoke for him loud and clear. He deserved so much better.

Love your sincerity, and I am completely on board with wanting that.

Warning: spoilers below. I took that remark to mean that Blucas was abbed into love scenes within three episodes of being introduced and had the abs for it already. As I remember it, it wasn't so much that Whedon wanted to play with the idea of Riley (Blucas' character) and then quickly and dismissively write him off the show (he lasted 31 episodes): it was that the fans hated how boy scout pure Riley was (as written). That disappointed me because I liked Riley and he was good for Buffy (until he couldn't take her closedness any more and he strayed and let a vamp feed off him). Many episodes later when he came back for one episode and had a human wife who was on his military demon-hunting team, it stung but at the same time it rang true. People move on and they love again. Riley was not the great love of Buffy's life and Buffy was not the great love of Riley's life.

They should play more with reily PTSD I mean hiS mom was killed. He killed his best friend. And like 20 army friends were killed. Plus a drug problem he did not start.

In the life I live, I'm still waiting on that third. Still. So much so that I type it in this comment. #GoodTimes.

❤️Thanks for your endless love and support you have constantly shown me. I can’t appreciate the unconditional love I have gotten from fans, which for this very reason has got me giving a more sensational entertainment. I’m forever grateful. Where are you watching from?

@@jamesmarsters7753 Dude! It's not unconditional love.... you earned it. :) Btw ... great job narrating the "Dresden Files" audio books. Hope you do more.

ikr!!!

60?? With those looks? DUDE... Wtf?!

He's my second. Right after Buffy. :)

I met him a couple of years ago and he was just lovely

I met him at comic con recently and even though I knew he's from Texas and he wouldn't have a British accent, it still felt weird hearing him speak in his normal voice.

His accent fooled me for many series. It took a couple of wonky vowel sounds for me to realise he was faking it.

@@theradgegadgie6352 I know what you mean. I occasionally questioned it, but only for a split second.

❤️Thanks for your endless love and support you have constantly shown me. I can’t appreciate the unconditional love I have gotten from fans, which for this very reason has got me giving a more sensational entertainment. I’m forever grateful. Where are you watching from?

the song about underage michelle tratchenberg’s feet was really professional

Yeah I just read about that 😕

@@dwideschrude9025 I a so disappointed right now. He seemed like such a nice and non creepy guy.

the replies??? people talk like "growth" is not a concept???

Too expensive. Vampires don't age. Actors do. De-aging CG would cost a fortune for two actors in a TV show.

@@davidsanders5652 could be a soft reboot. Rather see that than a new Buffy.

@@Whalewraith True but that means new actors so no certainty of the chemistry, especially as most TV is really poorly written now. Plus Buffy was Fox I think, therefore it's now Disney so Angel could still be white but Spike would have to be a black woman... totally new dynamic. I'm sure she would be Angel's former slave, etc, etc..

@@davidsanders5652 pretty sure a new Buffy would be played by a person of colour. I really don't know whats happening to shows these days. Probably why I'm still invested in things that came out a long time ago.

@@Whalewraith I agree.

It's interesting that he said that, because when Blucas had that scene I thought that was exactly the kind of shape I wanted to get into (didn't succeed). Spike was a great character, but I wouldn't want to be that skinny.

(Spoiler Alert) I shipped Briley the most. I liked Angel in the beginning but he just kept finding reasons to not be with Buffy. Like how he said she deserved to be with someone who could take her into the light. She literally doesn't care that much. Them being outside in the sun together really isn't that important. They also can't have sex together, but he LITERALLY BECAME HUMAN in the spin off series Angel, and they were able to have a happy relationship. However, he decides to rewind time so that he doesn't become human so he can keep protecting people. You don't need to be a vampire to protect people. Have you met the character's Gunn, Wesley, Fred, Cordelia, Giles, Willow, RILEY!, etc. And let's come back to the light thing. He literally had a ring that made it possible for him to be able to be in sunlight, so he could take Buffy into the light (like he said) but he destroys it! So I do not ship Bangel. As for Spike, I just never shipped it. Something about it seems off. Spike always treated her horrible, but he didn't have a soul then so I guess it's forgivable. Idk, Spuffy wasn't it. As for Riley, he did have some Jealousy issues about Buffy being stronger than him. He also had that whole bloodletting addiction. However, he voiced how he felt in the end and allowed Buffy a say in the decision for the future of their relationship, instead of running away to L.A. Did I mention how irritating Angel was when he found out Buffy had a new boyfriend, so he decided to beat him up? in conclusion, (out of Spike, Angel, and Riley) Riley was the best guy Buffy ever got with.

@@HariSeldon913 Spike looked good with a shirt off I thought

@@kdizzle901 And that's why a forum where people with different opinions can have a civil discussion is great. Imagine how boring things would be if everyone had the same opinion about everything.

@@HariSeldon913 I mean compared to my skinny ass he looked good and Riley looked good and Angel looked good even Xander looked decent not nearly as good as the first 3 but I wish I looked that good lol I mean yea Riley was in the best shape for sure

@SGilbert im sure it went BOTH ways. Didnt you hear what James said?

Dark willow....mmmmmmmm

@@promnightdumpsterbaby9553 Vampire Willow was hotter, IMO.

@@patrickmccurry1563 “Hands! Hands!”

Yeah, Willow was always more my interest on the show. Buffy was just so traditionally hot girl.

Faith Lehane, oh boy, and Anya Cristina Emmanuella Jenkins (Harris). What can I say, I love a bad girl turning good.

Team Anya.. she was far more interesting ;)

“I enjoy taking what people say, and twisting it into a false rhetoric” is a very strange thing to do.

​@@XOChristianaNicole Exactly. I hate it when people twist things to create their own narrative, and then go ahead and believe it 🤦‍♂️

Maybe because James got in a relationship with a 19yo when the show ended and he was 43 and she later became his wife. Maybe that is why he asks?

@@KyanneSummer hahahhah

@@KyanneSummerGross really?! 🤢

It was terrible

@@KiaraWilliamsX dont speak for everyone Spuffy hater. I'm glad they both had trials because perfect relationships are boring. But they both learned from their mistakes thats what matters in the end. I loved Buffy/Angel too but sadly Angel has that curse

To me, Spike and Faith were the best representations of what being good or evil means - a thousand choices made every day, each one part of your own character and each one a chance to be the person you wish you'd had in your own life. A good person shouldn't get a pass when they make bad decisions and a bad person shouldn't have the good decisions they make ignored.

@@kartaan i'd like for him to have remained "evil" or dark in a tolerable ambiguous way, but i guess it was too much to ask for a mainstream show in that era.

@@mbengaful But I think that's how those characters are... Don't you agree that the only way to be evil/dark in an ambiguous way to show the characters making choices to not follow through on those impulses. Too often "good" characters are portrayed as never having dark impulses, at all - and that's just not a reality. Of course all things are not the same and one person's "dark impulse" might be laughable to others. But well-rounded people/characters have, you know, thoughts - determining which of those thoughts are actionable is key - that's how their societal world will judge them as good or evil.

to be honest I hated that chip plot plus I had to wait ALL the way until S7 for it to be removed., It was so hard seeing Spike get his butt kicked all the time.

@@kartaan yes Spike and Faith are my 2 top fav charcters! ANd then Giles

❤️Thanks for your endless love and support you have constantly shown me. I can’t appreciate the unconditional love I have gotten from fans, which for this very reason has got me giving a more sensational entertainment. I’m forever grateful. Where are you watching from?

Angel never tried to sexually assault Buffy. Buffy's love affair with either was doomed to fail, but don't act like Spuffy was any more virtuous or pure a love than Bangel.

​@@danjonmills If you able to distinguish the actions of angel and the actions of angelus ; this applies also for spike without a soul and spike with a soul.

@@ratonrouge1353 Buffy never loved Spike with or without a soul he knew it too and even said it in the finale. Even in season 7 Buffy says in Selfless that she loved Angel more than she ever loved anything and in the end she gave the cookie dough speech saying down the line she she sees herself with Angel. Spuffy fans need to get over it.

@@andrewthezeppo lol i never said anything about that , i also personally think that both relationships was doomed to fail , i just pointed out the hypocrisy about Angelus /Angel

I have to say Spike falling for Buffy was the straw that broke the camels back. He was destroyed as a character in Buffy. He was chipped and made redundant. And then while chipped (despite still at the time being without a soul) falls in "love" with Buffy. Shit they made Spike into a damn simp before the term ever existed. Those last few seasons of Buffy are littered with character regressions and lousy writing. Spike as a character was better in Angel. I think they should have shipped Spike over to the Angel series far sooner, instead of the slapdash rubbish they came up with to solve the problem of Spike trying to kill Buffy.

YES ME TOO

I'm English, so for me it's weird hearing him _with_ an accent!

what wouldve seemed stupid?
