Great recap/review... my favorite line of yours: "It's no accident that Lynch chose Willow to be the one to help Spike in this - Willow =Will, William=Will. Two characters who against all odds, assert their own will, own agency, own power."
my favorite line of Lynch's: "It happened, let's agree to stop whining about it. Seriously, dude, I'm getting that embroidered onto a pillow" seriously, words to live by.
I do think the Spike series would have been even better if Brian Lynch had been given all the time he needed to develop his story... he had to truncate the story and wrap it up unnaturally quickly.... BUT I do blame IDW who screwed around w/Angel too much (they had several really terrible Angel series out which I think directly led to IDW losing the franchise, of course I can't prove that...). In fact I should just follow Brian Lynch's advice: "It happened, let's agree to stop whining about it. Seriously, dude, I'm getting that embroidered onto a pillow" LOL
