I hated Spikek in the early seasons. Then towards the end when he started doing Buffy I actually liked him and felt bad for him. I 'm glad he turned good.
i loved spike the minute i saw him! i was really excited cuz my friend who saw the show before me told me that spike was way cooler than xander or giles or angel! i probably liked him the least in season 2, i liked him best in season 4, 5, & 7.
I liked Spike the minute him and Dru roared into town and crashed the "welcome to sunnydale" sign.... i was excited. There was new hot meat in town to take over with a crazy women who is the best vampire i have ever seen!
