SPOILER talk!
Zowie. My earlier post seems to have gone down into darkness altogether. Oh, well. There's spoiled-rotten talk below.
Things that make me verrrry happy: Spike chained to a radiator, sans hands. Oh, the joy. For an HC freak like myself, this is paradisiacal.
I do wonder a bit. A radiator? In Los Angeles? I spent the first 21 years of my life in southern California, and I never laid eyes on a radiator. I saw my first radiator when I went to New York. I had one in my apartment in San Francisco. Los Angeles? Not one. But then, I've never visited an abandoned LA distillery, so I guess it may be quite realistic.
And they can chain him to a dirigible, as far as I'm concerned, as long as they cut off his hands and make him the wounded underdog. Because I *cannot* get enough of wounded underdog!Spike. That this may be another crucifixion pose to add to the Spike gallery is a huge bonus, of course. Gosh, I'm bent.
As to Spike's donated apartment: also happy-making. Oh, please, please let it be shabby and mean. Angel's got the posh penthouse; Spike needs the poor-but-honest dump. Kaff. Merely for storytelling reasons, you see -- merely for the symmetry. Kaff, kaff.
Ah, it makes me warm to think of it. A basement apartment, yet. We all know Spike loathes basements at this point -- he'd be crazy not to. And I hope it looks lonely withal! When Wesley and Gunn pop in waving that newspaper (btw: huh? Has Angel ever been in the papers? What's with the sudden press interest in vigilantees?), I hope Spike is sitting in his shabby little basement efficiency looking lonely. Gee, maybe he's reading a tattered paperback by the light of a single bulb? Maybe he's using milkcrates and post office bins for storage and endtables?
Other things: Fred's setback. I think it would be very fine if she went bananas for an ep or two, but I've seen no solid evidence to support this hypothesis.
Re: evil puppets, or whatever they are: has there been nothing more on this front? Who fights them and why?
I'm sorry there's been nothing more of Lesley (Lindsay? Lionel?), after the bit about falling into that abyss/pit/demon locker. I was just getting into Lesley/Lesley/Lionel. I hope he gets out of that thing.
