Spike the Vampire

and (humans) have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around, blundering through life until they die…which they…they know is coming, yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. they’re incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment. they kill each other, which is clearly insane. and yet, here’s the thing. when it’s something that really matters, they fight. i mean, they’re lame morons for fighting, but they do. they never… never quit. so i guess i will keep fighting, too.

Spike’s a tired parent.

And here we have the growing lesbian subtext with these two, which was always fun to play with. Eliza was always kind of pushing the sexuality, and no one remembered to stop her from doing that. Which we were all very happy about. Doug Petrie, writer.

I’m beyond tired. I’m beyond scared. I’m standing on the mouth of hell and it is gonna swallow me whole. And it’ll choke on me. We’re not ready? They’re not ready. They think we’re gonna wait for the end to come, like we always do. I’m done waiting. They want an apocalypse? Well, we’ll give ‘em one. Anyone else who wants to run, do it now, 'cause we just became an army. We just declared war. From now on we won’t just face our worst fears, we will seek them out. We will find them and cut out their hearts one by one until the First shows itself for what it really is. And I’ll kill it myself. There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil… and that’s us. Any questions?
