I had seen Bleak House too before, so we were perhaps more atoned to Burn Gorman. ;)
I have a bad feeling with Owen, but so far his arch has been very interesting, dead included. I don't know any spoilers, but from what I've heard the show hasn't been renewed yet... Anyway, I guess that I can take a lot with Torchwood, things that I wouldn't like to see in other shows, but this one is adult and doesn't take punches, so in all fairness I don't think Owen will have a nice ending. It'll be sad, but also the coherent thing to do. Until then, I'm enjoying the ride very much.
The worst thing I can recall about Spike was him killing that Slayer in the subway but that was part of being a vampire. Did he ever betray Buffy or the rest of the gang?
Not that I remember. There was this thing when he trafficked with those eggs (the episode where Riley comes back), but I'd say the other characters did things as nasty as that. And it was Giles who wanted to kill Spike in the last season, after all. He never lost the wit and the sarcasm, but he did help Buffy a lot, and there were moments when he was the only one who could do anything for her.
Now that I think of it, Buffy became very dark in the last seasons. I like it. :)
Redemption is a lovely theme to explore. Did you ever see the show Highlander?
Yeah, many years ago, pre internet, when it was aired late at night and I used to tape it to watch the next day. I think I've seen most of the episodes, along with the films, including the last one. Never got into the fandom, though. Back then I had no idea fandoms existed.
And yep, Methos was a hell of an interesting character, he deserved his own show! I've heard he's very popular in fanfic, obviously.
