Buffy's True Love

Feb 08 2007 03:41 am   #1Immortal Beloved

Okay, I've read that Joss Whedon has said that Spike is Buffy's true love in a few different posts on the forum.  Does anyone remember the interview or article that they read this in?  It would warm the cockles of my heart :-)

Give me Spuffy, or give me death.

I'd suggest looking at Whedonesque. Simon runs the board there, and he could probably tell you where to find the exact quote.

If you find it could you please post?

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

I've never heard that before. I thought Joss just said that Buffy was in love with Spike at the end of the series, not that he was her "true love." If he did, though, then that is very cool. Please someone post the source if they can find it.

I've heard on the Angel s5 DVD set that in fact, it is Spike and Angel who are true soulmates/true loves.  I didn't believe Buffy when she told Spike she loved him- it seemed forced in the acting (to me).

really? That's funny but I don't think I really believe you. It's a fun ideal though. It's not Spuffy, it's not Bangel, it's Spangel! Buffy can have Riley. They deserve each other *says such abusive stuff about Riley  that dia kicks her off the site.* 

Even I don't think Buffy meant it when she told Spike she loved him in Chosen. She loved him but she loved Egypt more.

It's a secret no one tells
One day it's heaven one day it's hell
And it's no fairytale take it from me
That's the way it's supposed to be

You will fly and you will crawl
God knows even angels fall
No such thing as you lost it all
God knows even angels fall

I disagree, on the dvd Joss says he likes them as a couple, not meaning slash, but more about their chemistry and such.  They are funny together.  But this was all after BTVS had been over for a while, so it's normal for Joss to take a new standpoint on the issue.  At the time Spike was stuck on ATS and was going to be there for as long as it continued which happily for me was only one season.  No more holding back,degrading Spike because angel was the lead.  I'm curious to see how Joss will use Spike in his season8 comics.

I did believe Buffy meant the "I love you", it's clearly written on her face, it just wasn't time for them yet, he had to go be a hero.
