It's a good argument, and definitely makes sense. Personally, I'm in "wait and see" mode now; I'll be happy if Spike shows up in a major role, but I'm not thinking that the story can only make any sense if he does.
By this time next year we'll know how it ends. :-)
One quibble, totally irrelevant to your main point:
So...what character is known for killing slayers? Who has a rep for killing slayers? Not only killing them, but studying them in depth, hunting them down, tracking them? Who was able to hunt, track, and kill two slayers? And the only one able to do it? Note Angel never could or even wanted to. Drusilla is the only other vamp to do it
I'm not sure if that's actually tue, because of this line of dialogue from 'Fool For Love':
DRUSILLA: My little Spike just killed himself a Slayer. ANGEL: Congratulations. I guess that makes you one of us.
That sounds very much like Angel(us), and maybe Darla too, have killed Slayers before; and now that Spike has done it he's worthy to join their little club. The difference is that Angelus saw no reason to boast about his Slayer-killing exploits; Spike wants to tell the world about it.
