I was at aintitcoolnews (http://www.aintitcool.com/) and as I glanced at this entry I misread it:

‘He’s No Angel!!’
Tickle Biscuit Reviews A Chunk Of Spike-TV’s BLADE THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Pilot Script!!

For a split second I thought it was our Spike they were talking about (who else thought of William the Bloody instead of Spike Lee when the network was announced?). I keep hearing rumors but so far no dice. JM has said that he really can play Spike for only a few more years so they better hurry. I was thinking in light of that and in light of Angel signing away his shanshu that the best option is to have Spike become human (yes I love our favorite vampire but unfortunately JM is mortal). I was thinking about the rest of the BtVS/AtS casts as they are now scattered to the winds. I have a feeling that for the "Spike Movie" Joss would unfortunately have to cast new supporting characters (I know that "Kitchen Confidential" is on hiatus/cancelled and Nick Brendan might be available but he probably has other projects lined up) and all those lovely post NFA fics would become AU--until the next addition to the Buffyverse comes out they are all equally valid. I will regret the lack of future canon Spander possibilities but Spike/William in any form would be sooo desired by sooo many. Please Joss get to work now!
