Ah I love me some online polls. Mainly because the Spike fans always think they are the majority so that makes them right. The simple concept of INTERNET fandom being the SMALLEST part of the actual viewing/reading audience never occurs to them.
But I'm sure they are right that Spike is the most beloved character ever (according to INTERNET fandom). Wonder why the Willow comics sell better than the Spike comics then. Must be a fluke.
I've tried reading some of those replies but seriously I've heard it all by now.
Angel sucks, Spike rocks.
Bangel is immature, Spuffy is mature.
Angelus would never get a soul, Spike fought for his.
*yawn* After years they really can't come up with anything new? That's kinda boring. |

Preach. I think as far as larger pop culture is concerned, the B/A romance reigns supreme. I'm sure there were many teens who watched it when it originally aired who are adults now, too busy for these online polls. Whenever the show is discussed in mainstream media, the early seasons are always the ones that get praised.
Pretty telling. |

I checked the results and had to lol. I thank those Spuffy shippers for proving my point. They have no life outside that ship and spend all day *convincing* everyone that SPIKE is the best thing ever.
How many hours did they spend on voting for Spike to get him that high a %? Because seriously even if the poll was IP locked there are ways around that. If you have the time to do it. Which I for one don't. Because I have a life. I voted once and moved on.
Those poor Spuffies... |

Spike has killed, raped and god knows what else. That makes him just as bad as any vampire there is.
This is how I see it. Spike killed and maimed. Angelus killed and maimed Angelus had NO humanity, Judge: This one... cannot be burnt. There's no humanity in him . But the Judge was keen to burn Spike so he has humanity in him. So spike killed even with humanity in him Don't get how that would make him a better man.....pire wouldn't that in fact make him worse.
On the Dark Horse Spike/Buffy Appreciation Thread someone posted a picture of Spike Laying on Buffy and Buffy looking up at him lovingly posted with "*sigh* Those were the times!" Oh Sorry did I say Buffy No not Buffy BUFFYBOT how romantic lol .I replied- Buffybot was funny. And they took down the photo  |

Buffy/Spike have never threatened me. Why should they? Joss made it clear time and again who had the eternal love, and it wasn't them. In his own words, Buffy/Angel's relationship "transcends everything." He hinted at who had endgame in "Chosen" and AtS5. And if B/S had such an overwhelming majority, then how come the ratings sank to an all-time low in BtVS6? I don't think it's a coincidence how Angel's return in "End of Days" and "Chosen" correlated with a significant ratings spike. |

This is such a terrible post, but I can't help myself...
Look at Buffy's arm in these gifs and tell me we don't have straight-up canon evidence that she was thinking about a different vampire!!!

She's aiming way too high!  |

It looks like her arm is sliding off his shoulder because it's not broad enough. Whereas Angel's is a very broad shelf for her arm to rest on. _________________

SPOILER TV. You know, a poll that actually we B/Aers can recognize includes the “rest of the real world.”
Happy Valentine’s all. (see the button “View results” (done yesterday).

HUGS!

P.S. You may notice the comics were included; and still! (two clicks for a smile and restored faith in the world. hee. Edited only to say this thread seems to include "polls," I guess....  |
