I auditioned randomly for this show and got the role of Paige. I was only 14 and did not want to act at all, so I turned it down! I did not know it would turn into this and the actors involved.
I truly believe when Buffy wrapped her fingers around Spike’s and told him she loved him, that was the moment her love for Spike finally surpassed her love for Angel.
I'd say Spike I truly believe she was in love with both of them but in season 2 Buffy killed Angelus to save the world but in season 7 Buffy refused to kill Spike to save the world and ran to Spike when she found out Giles was stalling her. But Buffy loved them both equally in her own way.
Spike sacrificed his life for Buffy, he is so worthy of her love, where was Angel during the doomsday anyway, he didn’t protect her. However Sarah M Gellar could have just said that Buffy wouldn’t end up with any of them bcos they’re vamps, Buffy ended up marrying a normal human guy, and live a peaceful and happy life with him and their children til old age, bcos Buffy deserves a peaceful life after what happened during her teenage yrs and Uni life 😆
Thank you so much for posting this, I am the over enthusiastic man in blue. I’m glad you’re helping me relive the experience. It was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.
I've always hated Spuffy. It was toxic and dark and that's something I've always hated, in real life and on screen. Spike never made her happy. he had isolated her from her friends and made her feel cheap and worthless and she had treated him like that too. The bathroom scene should be enough for them to not be together. It doesn't matter to me that Spike has a soul now because he's barely different than he was before. He's still the same obsessive jerk. I love relationship I can say is beautiful. Bangel was pure and beautiful and Briley had those moments too but Spuffy? Nope, it can't compare. I don't count the comic books because to me it's not part of the show. The writers and the cast made it a story, not the comic books.
I hate that they made spike a love interest for buffy...Buffy and Angel had one of the purest and most beautiful love story of forbidden love if angel didn't lose his soul at the slightest bit of happiness with buffy they would have still been together
Absolutely agree with you. It was so unnecessary. Why couldn't Angel have done the same trials Spike did and get his soul permanently attached? Then he could have been with Buffy. Why was he never even given the chance? I also hate the prevalent idea of 'Spike's the best, so he should be with Buffy.' Spike actually is my favourite character, but I realize that is my personal taste and preference. And I'm quite aware Angel is still a great guy too! The question is which of them is right for Buffy - and which of them is BUFFY right for? Buffy was a much better girlfriend to Angel than she ever was to Spike, and while Spike's devotion to Buffy could be beautiful, it didn't start out that way. Angel began his story devoted to Buffy and that never changed. Even as Angelus, Buffy remained the centre of his universe, just in an evil way. Spike hated Buffy and wished she would just disappear, and then all of a sudden he's desperately in love with her? Really nonsensical. Where is the continuity editor? 😁 Also, I have a hard time with accepting the depth of 'devoted' relationships between people who have lightly rejected past relationships that were apparently equally devoted for no reason. Spike loved Dru. She'd always cheated and come back, and he'd always taken her back. (I wouldn't consider that a healthy relationship in most circumstances, but Drusilla was insane and not morally responsible for her actions. She needed Spike and he was understanding of that and faithful to her.) She came back to him, wanting to recover what they had, and he offers to kill her for Buffy? (That is the one scene where I cannot bear my Spike's behaviour or make ANY excuses for him.) How would this send any message to Buffy other than that even a hundred years of devotion from Spike cannot be trusted; he still could turn on you? And for Buffy herself, how could Spike ever really believe she loved him if she just 'forgot' Angel after the love they had shared? I can't see a relationship built on emotional if not ACTUAL infidelity resulting in fidelity between Buffy and Spike, if you get what I mean.
it's interesting that he went on to marry someone that looks like kate. She didn't come out as gay until after 2004 when the L word came out so maybe they dated for a bit before deciding to stay friends. They were on good terms up until 2015 it seems because Kate congratulated him on his marriage.
she definitely loved both of them the same. maybe more angel, because he was her first love and first time but i’m honestly not quite sure. off topic but the better choice would be spike. even without a soul he was able to love her and care about her, seeing her through some of her darkest times and still being there. angel without a soul couldn’t even do that, after the curse he began to be this disgusting and insane man to buffy. with a soul both love her, but spikes love for her never genuinely changed with or without a soul.
Rite, Spike was there for her til the end, Angel on the other hand was a no show, he didn’t protect Buffy, maybe bcos he was so busy with Cordellia 🤣 When Sarah M Gellar said she thinks Buffy would choose Angel bcos hes what? Her first love? It’s appaling! Most first love doesn’t last Sarah! 😆
They pretty much confirmed in the finale that she never really loved him and then in Angel the series they made the point again that she never loved spike because he wasn’t Angel. Even if she had ended up with spike it’s only because her and Angel could never be together the way they wanted due to his curse
are u sure? i feel like in the finale he said no you don’t to let go of her and help aid in her letting go of him because he knew he had to die right then and there to save the world. in angel it was more of both angel and spike realizing that buffy had moved on. not fully moved on, but was moving forward in her life and it wasn’t about them anymore.
The Season 7 DVD extra commentary for the series finale has Joss talking about the direction he gave Sarah and James for that last scene: To Sarah: "Love him when you tell him you love him." To James: "Love her when you tell her she doesn't."
Even if she loved Spike in the end, it would only be as a 'consolation prize' since she couldn't be with Angel. If it wasn't for the curse Angel would never have left Buffy. They would have still been together when Spike came back to town and got chipped, and he would never have even had an opportunity to develop an interest in Buffy. Maybe he would have actually followed through on his initial interest in Willow, which I would have really liked, and we would have gotten to see more of him and Angel arguing and Buffy being totally exasperated by it. Fun times! 😁
Buffy loved Angel when she was a young girl and it was her first love and first relationship. But Buffy fell in love with Spike later. They went the Hard way together, they grew as a couple and trust each other so much. Spike showed and proved his love unsouless and with soul and became a better man for her. She love him at the end.
hi i love your videos! if its alright with you i was wondering if i could use this clip to make a korean subtitled video of this video? ill leave credits :)
Both, let me explain - Angel was youthful love, a relationship that was not broken due to lack of it or infidelities, which cannot be maintained because basically there is the curse but it is still there and will continue forever. - Spike the love that is established step by step, we see him being his enemy, ally, lover, in short something step by step. If in choosen he says that sometimes he thinks about a future with angel, it is because he never had a relationship in its fullness with him but he also has feelings for spike Angel leaves and does not participate in chooses in the battle because he is no longer part of the series, it would be absurd to put a guy who has his own series and give him prominence. The episode the girl in question is great because we already see a friendship, camaraderie between angel and spike and making Buffy be with another is a way to close the great triangle but the comics have destroyed it, putting those vignettes of her doing a threesome is degrading . If Sarah had been in the girl in question then the episode would have been great in fact both angel and spike have moments where they tell her about her heart. The problem with the triangle is that they make Angel jealous (when it was he who left her for her good) and Spike as a fool
