Herc does not read responses to his articles on ANOTHER site. He has his own comment box on his site. If you wish to complain, do it on his site at your own discretion, because I assure you, the other talk-backers will shit all over your self-righteous lecturing.Saturday 29 January 2005, by Pixie : "Who hired this asshole??" Here here!!!Ever since I read the tvguide extract I’ve been furious! ’We haven’t thought about doing a Spike-movie!’ Come ON!!! But really - WB haven’t been known for smart headhunting for years....*coughLevincough*.... Saturday 29 January 2005, by Percy : Yes, some of the readers are Christian, and some are not. Get over it. (Jesus!!)Saturday 29 January 2005, by martheev : Dear Herc: Some of your readers are not Christian. We do not care what words you use, just that you drive your point home and make fun of people and their stupidity. Both of which you have done wonderfully in this article. Please feel free to not censor yourself and use whatever wordage youd like.Saturday 29 January 2005, by Anonymous : Spike = ’ one of the most popular and compelling characters ever to grace American television?’ First that is so far off its not even funny. But can this guy kiss Joss’s ass any harder? There is no more ME to make a Spike movie anyway. Saturday 29 January 2005, by Anonymous : Spike? Spike? I can see TV movies based on Faith or the Scooby Gang (willow,Xander,Dawn,etc)or even a new Watcher’s Council headed by Giles for all those new slayers/former potentials. But Spike? Really? A character that went from very funny occasional villian to tired Angel-part-two-vampire-with-a-soul rapist/stalker-yet-good-guy? Has anyone noticed that Buffy’s ratings fell dramatically as Spike became more of a central focus in the final seasons? Key word - FINAL. Which makes sense because Spike’s first season on Angel turned out to be Angel’s FINAL season as well. BOY, what a good luck charm and ratings’ grabber THIS guy seems to be. Give us a break. Dust this lame character.Saturday 29 January 2005, by cat_amused : I reckon that Buffy went for a couple of seasons too long. I only watched them because Spike was in them.. James Marsters really stole the show. I admit BtVS was a good series, but I don’t think it would have done as well in it’s final seasons without Spike. I still question the judgement of the people who decided to axe Angel in favour of the sops like One Tree Hill and Summerland; those series are in Australia now, and I really don’t see the attraction. Stupid stupid stupid people! Go a Spike movie! And not just because James Marsters is a god. hahahahaha. Sunday 30 January 2005, by Kristin : Love Herc! And he’s right on the damn money. The WB execs are so damn stupid it’s not funny. ATS went up in the ratings and demos in season 5.. and yes it’s fact.. if Spike hadn’t come on the show.. there wouldn’t have been a season 5 of ATS. As David Fury said.. Spike was the "deal clincher."And I don’t buy for a second that they’ve never concidered a Spike movie.. hell even Joss has talked about it.. they are blowin’ smoke. I’d love to see the Jossverse continue in anyway.. but Spike is my favorite character and I’d love to see him be apart of it anyway possible. He is a popular character, who inspires a lot of interest with the fans rather you love him or hate him. So YEAH GIVE US A SPIKE MOVIE! PS. I’m a Christian and I don’t care what Herc says. I’m not the type of person who forces my religious beliefs or anything else for that matter on anyone. Sunday 30 January 2005, by GL : THANK YOU! I need Spike. Im dying Here..GIVE ME SPIKE! Oh by the way, Some of these readers take Jesus’ name as holy, so would you please reframe from using his name in vain... Thursday 3 February 2005, by Anonymous : Spike is selfish ASSHOLE, who doesn’t give a damn about Buffy or anybody else, except for himself and his own obsessive feelings towards Buffy. He sucked all the fun out of the damned show. Saturday 5 February 2005, by PatrickG : I’m for it ONLY if it co-stars an existing Buffy cast-member or two. Personally, I think the way to bill this would be "Spike & Xander". Joss loved his Wolverine/Cyclops chemistry between Angel and Spike and I bet that chemistry would only improve with an actual cyclops. Plus? A lot of Spuffy fans hate Xander. Many non-shippers and anti-Spuffy-ites like Xander but not Spike. You get a larger audience by pairing the two characters and a potentially fun, edgy chemistry here. Sunday 6 February 2005, by Amanda : This is for all you anti-Spike people (ok, mostly to the one who say “dust this lame character,” but you others listen up too). If you dislike this character so much why are you even here, on an article based on him, why read, why post nasty comments? I for one am tired of your ignorance and insults. There is no need to run your mouth about things you obviously don’t understand. If you want to vent go do it to someone who wants to hear it, if you can find someone that is. I am not the biggest fan of Dawn or Kennedy but you don’t see me going to one of their articles and start running my mouth about how much I dislike them. I just don’t read them and I sure as hell would post hateful comments. But to say things like he’s now a “tired Angel-part-two-vampire-with-a-soul rapist/stalker-yet-good-guy” is just uncalled for. I swear if one more ignorant person calls him a rapist I am going to scream. What part of vampire, evil, soulless, no conscious do you people not understand? A vampire they can do whatever they want and not care about the bad in it, hell they are the bad. Buffy was a total bitch to him and he finally just snapped and TRIED to rape her. He failed and knew that he had done wrong to her (he knew it was wrong and it tortured him, vamps are not supposed to feel remorse, yet he does) so he got himself a soul. Do you really think just any vamp would go though that to be good? And if you think Spike is such a bad guy cuz of that and don’t think that any other vamp would do it, you are greatly mistaken. And to the one who called him a “selfish ASSHOLE, who doesn’t give a damn about Buffy or anybody else,” where the hell do you get off saying that? Half the things he even did on the show were out of love for Buffy. I’m not going to sit here and force my Spuffyness on any of you but if you really think that then you really were not paying attention to the show. One other side note, we Spuffy fans don’t hate Xander, sure he pisses us off from time to time but I for one wouldn’t mind him coming back, I love Nick. Sorry the post is so long, but I had some things to say.Monday 7 February 2005, by Anonymous : The whole Spike/Xander angst in S7 was the result of stupid writing. Their was nothing in the way for a strong friendship between the two. It’s just that ME couldn’t write anything else.Friday 11 February 2005, by Amanda : Ok, I’m done arguing with cuz you obviously can’t see things for what they are. You see what you wanna see and nothing else. You make up things about the story line that are clearly not there (i.e. in Interventions) and refuse to see other things just cuz it doesn’t agree with your point. I will give you one thing though. Spike doesn’t give a shit about the Scoobies. The second they walked out on Buffy he had no reason to be nice to them. He loves BUFFY, he would choose her over them any day as he did in Touched. THEY betrayed HER. But your probably ok with that right? Whatever, I don’t care for your pointless insults anymore. Damn, I hate ignorant people.These comments are an anwser to this article : A Spike-Centric Buffiverse TV Movie?? Er ... By Aintitcool.com
