  • After working for extended time on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I pose the question whether James Marsters ever developed a crush for his fellow castmates.
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Making a return this week, James Marsters (Buffy, Angel) joins us for a discussion on the darker side of his method acting of the fan beloved character Spike, and exactly how it affected his relationships with others on set. James opens up more this time on the hostile working conditions on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and what it was like to work with creator Joss Whedon. We talk about secret crushes on set, playing dark characters, and the possibility of a Buffy reunion.

      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 🙄

      @iseeum 4 месяца назад

      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.

    “Please don’t Marc Blucas me” 😂
    Omg, please have him on, it’ll be so interesting to me, because I actually liked the character and many people don’t have nice things to say about him or his character.
    So i’d Love to know how he handled that

      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.

    I do like how Spike was to originally represent evil in the show, because Joss always wanted that essence, but that he put a chip in Spike's head once his character was going to be around a lot longer, and then eventually a soul. Spike's popularity meant he could no longer be an evil presence if he was to be a multi-season character and one of the gang.

    • @kartaan

      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.

      @@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.

      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.

    From a narrative standpoint, I think Buffy and Angel as starcrossed lovers who are seemingly perfect for each other (a Slayer burdened by her destiny and a vampire with a soul burdened with the need to make amends for his past) remained so strongly on people's minds even after Angel left. So while it makes some kind of sense that Buffy would get involved with another vampire and it gives Spike a reason for being there and sticking around, it still felt a little weird that it was Spike. It's also why putting Angel and Cordy together didn't feel quite right.
