SPIKE ON ANGEL?
If you haven’t seen the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer yet, then the following contains a major spoiler. Show creator Joss Whedon talked to TV Guide about the ending of the series and how it will affect the next season of Angel.
TVGO: So, how do you plan to resurrect Spike?
Whedon: That’s a conversation I’m going to be having with the Angel writers very soon.
TVGO: There’s always Shanshu (the ancient prophecy introduced during Angel’s first season that says once a soulful vampire fulfills his destiny, he becomes human).
Whedon: It’s not quite that simple, although a lot of people have been making reference to that. But that’s an interpretation, and ultimately could become the interpretation if we decide to go that way. I have some other ideas. The trick is how to bring him back without losing the integrity of what he did… the sacrifice. If it’s just, ‘Hey, I’m back!’ then that whole moment at the end of Buffy is kind of lame now. Like Buffy returning from the dead, it’s going to be something that we’re going to have to earn and play the ramifications of, possibly without making it so depressing.
TVGO: Will you pair him with a new special someone?
Whedon: I’m still trying to figure out how to bring him back to life. I don’t think he’s the kind of guy that would be like, ‘Well, that was a fun time with Buffy… ‘ I don’t think he feels a sense of resolve or resolution about the relationship. I think he feels that he was ready to sacrifice himself for her, and it was a beautiful thing, but… it wasn’t like he’s cured of loving Buffy any more than Angel is.
And will Sarah Michelle Gellar make a cameo appearance on Angel?
TVGO: November sweeps?
Whedon: I don’t know if necessarily it will be November, but she has stated time and again that she’s perfectly willing to come on and make an appearance, assuming schedules work out. Nothing’s definite, but it’s as sure a shot as one could hope for.
