Spike is better than needing Willow, Giles and especially Xander’s company. Just as long as he has his Summers girls. Also, what I’d give to see what kind of adventures Spike and Dawn had during the time Buffy was gone.
I loved Dawn and Spike's friendship! I was disappointed that their bond pretty much disappeared once Buffy came back form the dead. After that, they hardly had any scenes together at all!
True, that explains season 7. But they barely spoke for the rest of season 6, either. Because Spike was too obsessed with Buffy. It made me sad to see his and Dawn's friendship fade during that season.
Spike was like that crazy older cousin every girl has who’s just a tad too rough and mean but would kill anybody who laid a finger on her, and who nobody understands why she trusts so implicitly
He loves Buffy as a woman and he loves Joyce as his first human friend, even when he was bad he feels when she die. Of course he will love a lot Dawn as his little sister.
Sadly, Dawn was into Spike (Which ended up being heartbreaking for her), but she is also 100% safe around him (Chip or not) Joyce was his first human friend, true, but that is mainly due to the fact that she spoke to him like a person. This was prior to him liking Buffy.
Dawn and Spike's friendship is one of the greatest highlights in this show. Dawn's trust, respect and loyalty was crucial for Spike becoming a better person. Spike's character arch is what made me realize that redemption is in fact possible.
The Summers women just have a way with Spike, I guess. 😹 The dude was besties with Joyce, an older brother figure to Dawn, and fell in love with Buffy. Love that.
One thing everyone needs to remember, Spike would NEVER hurt Dawn (At least not on purpose, he did crush her since she was into him and he was into Buffy. but that is not really his fault. He emotionally hurt her but it was not intentional) Physically, he would never harm her, even without a chip Dawn would be 100% safe around him.
I disagree. I don’t think it’s weird. I think it’s sorta like he’s an other brother or something. I’ve always thought of them as having a familial relationship
