Interviews | Drew Z. Greenberg
Redeeming Spike

Picture Given the way the Buffy/Spike relationship is developing this season, do you think he's redeemable as a character?

I think that Spike is showing signs of change this season, [but] I don't know if it's going to be enough. I think that Spike is at his core a killer and that's just my take on it.

This is one of those things that's open to interpretation, but [if] you want to know what I think, Spike's a killer and Buffy getting involved with him will go one of a couple of different ways.

She might be making the biggest mistake of her young life, or she might be leading him in a direction where he's going to change enough that he'll want to try to strike up a relationship with her. Is he going to be able to, though? He's still a killer, and all we've got right now is that chip in his head that's keeping him from reverting back to what he was. What happens if something happens to that chip?

I think that it's a really fascinating coupling. and I think we're all a little curious to see where it's going to go.
