CBR TV 2014: James Marsters & Nicholas Brendon Discuss "Buffy: Season 10," Writing Comics 

I just really love how James sits and moves and acts like Spike in real life

I actually would have loved to see more Spike and Xander scenes or episodes, where they worked together and had the same bicker-y but almost bromance-y dynamic that Spike had with Angel. I know there was a lot of conflict between the two just because Xander had such a hatred for Spike and Spike didn't really care all that much, but I was just re-watching the Season 7 episode where the girls all fall in love with that one jock because he has some magic jacket. At the end, there's this little scene of Xander and Spike working together, and it's wonderful. Xander just goes "You understand the plan, right?" to Spike and Spike's like, "Yeah, I think I've got it" as if it's some elaborate plan that these two have come together and brainstormed over. And then they just run up to the guy, have Xander hold him down while Spike takes off the jacket and then they run out of the place! It's so simple and it's so true to character, with Xander's not extremely strategized thinking and Spike's impulsive attitude. I just would have loved to see these two together more, without the feud.

spike was the best character on the show

There are no shows or movies about vampires or demons that can compare to Buffy hands down

Reading about Nicholas Brendon's life now breaks my heart. I really, REALLY want him to have a Cinderella comeback like Robert Downey Jr. Mr. Brendon if you're reading this, just know that I believe in you and I'm fuck'n pulling for you, man. Don't give up.

It's funny hearing the same inflections in James Masters' voice, with his actual American accent, as those in his British actor accent... :p

We want Spike and Buffy together!!!! They mean to be! Come on we wait enought! Spike and Buffy all the way

I love how much James Marsters hasn't changed. Haha. Nicholas Brendan hasn't changed much either.. but James looks like he's ready to jump back into being Spike again. Haha. Favorite Buffy character right before Buffy and Angel. Haha.

Bring Buffy and Spike together again, pleaseeee! :)

James still looks good at 55. With some light makeup, he could still pass as Spike from the 00s. Also surprised how much of his normal voice sounds Spike. His English accent was very believable.

I love Xander and Spike's characters. I'm glad we're getting some remorse and (delayed) mourning from Xander over the death of Anya it's very interresting and it was quite out of character for him not to be more devasted. Xander has always been the guy who jokes on the outside (and we love him for it) even while he hurt on the inside. Concerning Spike, I like how unpredictable he is. He'll always do either something awesome or incredibly ludicrous or show some deep insight when you'd never expect him to. This character surprised me constantly during the show and I hope he will again.

🕯I want to see James Marsters play Spike again so bad🕯 And have spike and buffy see each other again🕯

Buffy ❤️ Spike "You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I'd prefer you didn't. Don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. I've made a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: you ... Here, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say "I love you", it's not because I want you, or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are. What you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand, with perfect clarity, exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the One, Buffy." -Spike

“I wanted Spike to actually have a plan and implement it.” 😂😂😂😂😂

secondary character? only reason to go through season 5/6/7 was spike! funniest and best interpreted!

A Spike Spin off would have been awesome..missed opportunity.

These two are amazing ! In fact i personally think that these two (and Emma caulfield) were the people who made Buffy so funny to watch. I Think that James Marsters was the funniest then Nicholas and then Emma !!

19:36 ha! A genuine Spike laugh 😁

I can't help but be a little disappointed in Joss. Spike is his best developed character, to not do anything with it seems like a waste.

WOW! I didn't know Nicholas Brendon has a natural Xander personality. He's so hilarious! There are not that many actors that could still behave the same way as their characters

These actors, were so wonderful, in their own right, & together. It's a rare occurrence, when you luck out, & love your fellow cast mates, like Buffy, & Angel's actors did. James is so diversifed, fresh & fun. Nicky so weird & funny. Moved on to comiX, so cool... 🥀💀🥀Grr URRHG! 🎵👨🏻🧑🏻 Love them. 💖💗💖🤟🏼

Adored this video. Thanks!

This is so exciting! I can't wait!!

Enjoyed this very much.

Spike: "You? Annoy ME? I annoyed Angelus! The greatest torturer in all the bloody world!" James Marsters: "I have a cowbell." Spike: "Yeah alright fair enough."

James is so well-spoken

Can you believe James is 52 and Nick is 42?

*A Spike Tv movie would have been great!! it looks like Joss isn't done with the Buffyverse. he asked Eliza if she would do a faith spinoff just after buffy ended and he also pitched a show revolving around Giles! so fingers crossed we get a Buffy revival*

This was posted on my birthday this year!!!!

Why Why did they had to finish ? I love them so much ! I Want them back ! Who's with me ?

I love James because he is just so hot in anything he does I got to see him in person

very talented and funny actors

I love this show buffy & spike should be together!!! 3 3

Imagine if Spike had a CBR cowbell in the show.

James sounds so strange with his real accent! I loved the episode when Riley was convinced that he knew him(obviously as Hostile 17)and Spike put on an American accent to distract him 👌🏼😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 It’s the same listening to Alexis Denisof after being so used to his Wesley accent! Anytime when I either of their natural accents it just doesn’t seem right,they were that flawless and so convincing as English men. Xander is looking more like Chandler the older he gets 😲

It’s called Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and it was a disastrous musical on Broadway :)

I love listening to James because he's so intelligent and compassionate...but sometimes I'm disappointed that he's not funny like Spike. He's a very serious man.

When the reboot comes around they should do an episode with like a demon that opens an alternate reality that has the original cast and they have to work together with the new cast.

oh james.....you are lovely

“DO YOUR HOMEWORK HONEY” lmfao💀

What about Warehouse 13!?

Spike has an american accent!

OMFG i knew about buffy and angel if i go looking for spike and not find it ill be destroyed for life ima give it a week before i look arrrrrrrr.

Eiffel Tower isn't made from wood, tho, so would that work to stake a giant vampire?

i think james marsters should play john constantine in the dceu if they make a hellblazer movie he has the perfect look and we all know he can do an english accent

lol uncle James you rock

Needs more cowbell! :)

Spike❤❤❤❤

did Brandon say 1998 thought Buffy was aired 1997 .. pilot was aired 1996....

Refaite nous une saison et une suite de buffy avec spike en résurrection ❤️Je suis sûr que cela reste possible ....

awwwww

Im sure this is going to be very unpopular but I'd actually like to read a comic about Xander and Angel having to kick ass together but not really liking echother. Xander just hating Angel like he always has. Not to mentioned he would be pissed of his relationships with both Buffy AND Cordelia lol and Angel not hating him but just not getting him because Xander is a jokester and Angel is to broody for that. I think its an unexpected match and could be quite funny. Loll

I think hes really cute I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ him I want to meet him really bad hes so different for then♥ And now♡

I will name my favorite Buffy/Angel characters in order from the top 20 in my view. 1. Spike 2. Xander 3. Angelus 4. Lorne 5. Willow 6. Buffy 7. Cordelia 8. Drusilla 9. Darla 10. Angel 11. Harmony 12. Giles 13. Wesley 14. Illyria 15. Connor 16. Gunn 17. Winifred 18. The Master 19. Kendra 20. Oz

Hipster Xander saves the world from a new Big Bad.

James saying Joss is "humble". This hits differently in 2021.

Geez Nicky, why so much hate for "Archie"? Not a fan of jalopy-fixing?

Can we just talk about how James & Nicholas are both wearing grey t-shirts & black jackets ☺

Left the price tag on lmao how tacky...........and then it was 4 dollars lmao

its so weird to hear James’s american accent

Gosh, James seems so tired. Does he get enough sleep ? I hope so...

Man that British accent really stuck...

Killing a character that isn't evil just because they're big sounds kinda crappy, just saying.

Wait isent it the same Brendon that went on Dr.Phil you can tell that there is some uncomferibleness there. I think he its to stuck in the pass. Like he is like a stalker but about tv serie. You know what a mean

This must have been before James M slept with Brendons girlfriend behind is back

Why is Spike American now? 😂I’m totes shook

James has put weight on, his chiselled features are gone!

good grief! this is so cringey... buddy has some horrible interview skills, and sounds unprepared.

james and brendon
