Re: (unknown)

This comes from Ain't it Cool News and may be the first act of Angel's fifth season. S P O I L E R S P A C E * The first characters we see are Buffy and Spike. It's a flashback to Spike's final moments over the Sunnydale hellmouth. Spike goes all bright and dusty, then: * The first new scene is set in Wolfram & Hart's "White Room." It's somebody's point of view. Somebody on his or her back. Winifred, Charles and Wesley are all peering down. None of the trio has ever seen this mystery-person before, but Wes seems to have a pretty good idea who it is. Angel arrives and eliminates any abmbiguity with a single-word: "Spike." No more POV. Spike naked save a familiar- looking amulet, turns groggily toward Angel and mutters, "Oh ? bloody hell." He hear a violin and the title credits roll. * Actually, before the big reveal, the first thing we hear in the White Room POV shot is heavy breathing. But when we see Team Angel hovering, none of them seems tobe breathing very hard. * When Angel offers Spike a cup of blood in the law firm's examination room, Spike says he actually feels like a chocolate shake. * The second Spike learns Buffy survived the big doings inwhat used to be Sunnydale, he starts off to find his true love. But Angel won't let him leave until he can figure out why Spike is still alive. "Oh reeaaly?" asks Spike. "And are we sure that's the reason now?" Angel also wants the amulet back, since it's technically Wolfram & Hart property. A big Spike-Angel fight ensues. * There is much shattering of law-firm glass. As the Spike-Angel fight grows more intense, Angelgoes into vamp-face. Spike tries to do the same, but finds he can't! * Angel manages to yank the Amulet away from Spike. Spike begins gasping and turning blue. "Angel, the amulet," cries Wesley. "I think he needs it. He's dying." Angel hesitates, but Fred reminds Angel that Spike just finished saving the world. * Angel returns the amulet and Spike's complexion immediately turns rosier. "His breathing is returning to normal," advises Wes. "`Breathing?'" asks Fred. * Angel rips a giant mirror from the wall. He can't see himself in it, but Spike casts a reflection! * Lilah turns up with Spike's blood test. The DNA matcheswhat the Initiative took out of Hostile 17 four years ago, but the amulet seems to have "cleansed" the vampire right out of Spike. He's all human now! * Wes remembers the Shanshu prophecy. "When that a souled vampire fulfills his destiny ? whatever that may be ? he becomes human." * But if Spike's human, why is so strong, and able to fight Angel so effectively? Wes remembers speaking to Willow by phone about the "joining spell" that turned all the potentials into slayers. "So whenthe cleansing began," asks Lilah, "did you ? I dunno ? touch Buffy?" Spike answers in the affirmative, flashing back to the fiery hand-holding. * And then, at the end of this first act, Lilah and Wes come to the same conclusion ? and reveal one last amazing thing about this new Spike: * He's now the world's first male vampire slayer. Okay. Anybody else wanna barf? Joss screw the vamp, bring back Tara dammit! I'll go away now, Patrick >>>> So, Spike is human and has superpowers....Can't say i'm surprised, cause i saw it coming, prophecy and all, but still....So, a human superguy....I imagine whose type that is....Even more so with the possibility of SMG appearing in a few eps....I said it before and I say it again : Spuffy is far from over....Gotta say, i'm a little disappointed, and not for the whole B/W part of me....It's just...Am I the only one who thinks that this somehow may lessen Angel's journey...I mean, never really a fan, but it seems that the guy is always losing to Spike....Not in the Buffy field, but in the good guy one...Angel spent years trying to be good cause of teh soul, Spike was the great hero without it, Angel finds the prophecy, Spike gets the amulet and so on....Still, it is said that obsession( love-wise) is when we rely our entire happyness on someone's shoulder and i think that was what SPike did...Maybe it's his chance to do things for himself....He has to do good because that's who he is , not because that way Buffy might like him better...That may be his chance, hope Joss doesn't screw it by making it all about Buffy....
