Has anyone else noticed the similarities between Spike and the character Pike played by Luke Perry in the original Buffy movie? The hair-do, the leather jacket, the similar names: Pike vs. Spike….the whole motorcycle thing….I always wondered if Joss Whedon had maybe modelled Spike on Pike from the movie… |

Hmmmm. Interesting. I kind of doubt it though, mainly because when James Marsters came to the show, Spike was only supposed to be in a few episodes. The people behind the scenes liked what they saw and kept him around. (Thank God! Or the PTB or whoever you want to.)
Also, Pike was a good guy, not an evil vamp. Characterwise he’s probably closer to Xander than Spike.

Yeah, I was going to say something similar. Wasn’t there a thing about how the writers didn’t really know where Spike was going, character-wise, so they winged it as the series went along? I thought I read that somewhere.
