William was a great writer and poet, he was just ahead of his time so no one back then was ready for it.

Spike was always punk just took time for people to realise it.

As much as a you know what as he is, he's right. History is written in blood and it's written by the winners.

Spike should give a talk to all the woke people!

Love you spike

Why wasn't Spike killed by the wooden arrows?

Astounding.... with Love

as much as they pertrayed spike as the punk rock vampire who doesn't give a shit, i think this was the true spike a man with a deep emotions and poet soul

Yea hard to argue basically except that you did something assholey kids and move on. It is funny that it is coming from someone who is from the place that did conquer the natives

I love how Spike's ability to write poetry is still unchanged after 100 years, despite picking up skills like hacking a computer.

I don’t normally agree with Spike about…well, anything…but he has a point. Willow is being pretty stupid and naive here. This Native American spirit watched his tribe and his people get wiped out violently and viciously by invaders, of which they are all descendants of, or living off their spoils. And she thinks she can reason with him?? 😆 Willow, babe, I thought you were the smart one! There’s nothing to talk about as far as he’s concerned. It’s kill or be killed. You gotta pick which one. Unless you feel so bad about something that happened centuries before you were born that you’re willing to let him kill you and your friends, pick up a damn weapon! 😆

Happy Thanksgiving

Love you & very shiny thank you.

This is what they don't want you to believe in.

What's funny is what Drusilla said was glowing and gleaming was Spikes soul. 100 years later Spike finally got the respect he deserved.

it was good they had this be the last thing he does before the fight, because this is the true him, william the poet. sadly back in the day he grew up poetry wasn't appreciated as much with words people chose to use

You cut out the best part! "The Wanton Folly Of Me Mum"!

I think effulgent is also what he’s referring to in s7 e3 when he asks Buffy “what’s a word that’s means glowing? It’s gotta rhyme…” I never realized how much they referenced it till now.

"If we could talk to him...", he's a Spirit of Vengeance, revenge is all he cares about now, talking won't do anything.

Ebulgent becomes a bulge in it. Which works with the accent.

William finally comes into his own as Spike, the poet.

Man Spike went through a really low key phase in the 50s.

Listen "a bulge in it" is a bad line but the rest of the poem fucking slaps.

William the Lovely

Love this speech. He said "attitude" in his American accent though - 0:41

Spike is always the voice of reason, can't change history. What happened happened.

Leave it to the hungry or thirsty soulless vampire to tell it like it is heads or tails end of the story

Hello Michael, found your video on the QAstack forum. Did you end up solving this? I need to use the long number as a number, to run some operations as vlookup for example. Would be great to hear back from you. Thanks!

When Spike is the only voice of reason in the whole gang. Like what, they think those tribes didn't conquer and raid and take stuff by force too?

"Sure, No Problem."

the long game...

Lol! I just realized that's Drucila!

I've seen folks write that he was actually called William the Bloody and Spike b/c his poetry was 'bloody awful,' and made folks want to put a 'spike in my head.' But I think that after he became a vampire, he sought revenge and went back to all those who mocked him to give them a new definition of William the Bloody and to fulfill their 'wish' of having a spike put in their heads.

his poems didnt belong in that era, they belong in this one

Spike sure looked sharp in the 50’s.

I love Spike's sarcasm and vampiric personality

You know..... I always wish Spike had sang, or poem'd for Lorne..... I think that would've been a special moment

GO SPIKE GO

He was not a awful poets person there

it is intersting i do believe we have more appreciation for poetry than people from back then

Hahaha!

Besides being a great scene (and IMHO a better ending for the character than he got in Chosen), I always liked the irony that he was literally following Angel's instructions to "live the day as if it were your last" to the letter as he literally did the exact same thing he did on the last day of his human life.

My spell check is so dumb, it doesn't believe that word exists. Keeps changing it to effluent.

Was the poem he performed onstage the same one?

Good for Spike having the courage to perform his poetry in front of a live audience. He probably hadn't done it for an awful long time due to the bad reception he would get from poets of his times. I like to think Angel inspired him to write poetry again after he admitted to him how much he loved his poems way back from when they were both evil, which is the only thing Angel ever liked about Spike.

"This next ones called "The Wanton Folly of me Mum"

Ciao

Sorry Spike, but Billy Idol is still a better poet even though he stole your look.

Dru knew Spike was going to have a soul. Lol

This Scene is so Strange and funny!
