| Re: Spike's Soul
I think Spike was definately planned to get his soul back; there has always been a lot of competition between Angel and Spike and this just enhances that. There are also a lot of prophecies in Angel that refer to the "vampire with a soul", such as the one that refers to him one day becoming human again, i think that although that particular prophecy has not yet come to fruit, Spike was meant to get his soul back to create the mystery around who all the prophecies are all about.
As for the chip V soul thought, Spike had previously referred to wanting to be the "man" Buffy wanted him to be...... you can't be a man without a soul |
