The line I used as the title to this section actually comes from the episode "Lie to Me" (2.7), from the conversation Xander and Willow have.
Xander: In no way do we stick out like sore thumbs.
Willow: Okay, but do they really stick out?
Xander: What?
Willow: Sore thumbs. Do they stick out? I mean, have you ever seen a thumb and gone, 'Wow! That baby is sore!'
Xander: You have too many thoughts.
So, I decided to use that line, because some (if not all) of the things I write here are going to make you think I'm either crazy, have no life, or as it says just plain have too many thoughts!!
Alright, so we cleary see that Spike's natural hair color isn't bleached blonde!!
- Evidence
- "Fool For Love" (5.7) When he was human, and in his early years as a vamp, his hair is brown.
- "Lessons" (7.1) Buffy finds Spike in the basement, and his hair has grown out and the top of the hair is blonde, the bottom is brown.
1. Demon Salon- There is a possibility that Spike goes to a salon, but he'd have to go somewhere where they wouldn't question why he doesn't have a reflection. Though there are demon bars in Sunnydale, there's never been any mention of a demon salon. Also, Spike would have to come up with money to pay for it. Prior to season seven, it probably wasn't a problem, but after he got his soul, where did he get the money from (unless he was still stealing, which is a possiblity).
2. He does it himself- He might do it himself, but again having no reflection is a problem. It would be awfully difficult to cut your own hair, as well as Spike's looks, without being able to see what you are doing.
3. Have someone come over and do it- With Spike's personality, I can't imagine him inviting someone to come over and dye his hair lol.
So the mystery remains...how does he do it??
"And we're sure they're connected the singing and dancing, and burning and dying".
Well we find out that the above are all connected, because of Sweet the demon summoned by, XANDER. No one ever really yelled at Xander, and he never really felt any remorse (as far as we can tell anyway) for summonning this demon which led to the death of at least one person, and probably more, and almost Buffy. Don't you think he needs to search for a little redemption :)??
Angel says in season 5 that the Shanshu Prophecy doesn't matter, because no matter how much good he does, even if he turns human, he's going to Hell (and Spike too for that matter). This doesn't really make sense though. In Buffy right away in "The Harvest", Giles says, "You listen to me! Jesse is dead! You have to remember that when you see him, you're not looking at your friend. You're looking at the thing that killed him". This isn't the only time though, that it's said that a vampire and the victim are completely different people. The vampire just "sets up shop" in the body of the person who has been sired, it has that's person's memories and walks and talks like them, but is not them. Not only this, Angelus has been described as being the demon in Angel.
The point I'm trying to make is that all the bad Angelus and Spike (non-soul Spike) have done has nothing to do with Angel and Spike (with a soul), because it was the demons in them that committed those evil acts. The soul is what allows a person the ability to choose and is also essentially who a person is (according to Spike the body is "just the tip of the theological" followed by Angel saying it's the soul that matters). Another example is the fact that Willow is trying to bring Buffy's soul or essence back from the Hell dimension she thinks Buffy is in after she died in "The Gift". Without the soul it's just Buffy's body, with the soul, it's Buffy again.
Angel and Liem are the same person because it's the soul that makes them who they are, and Angelus is the demon Angel's body without a soul. In "Spin the Bottle", all the characters believe they are teenagers, and Angel says he is Liem, because that's who he was when he was a teenager and obviously he had a soul supporting the fact that Angel and Liem are the same soul.
A couple times in the series the yearbook staff is said to be nerds.
Buffy: And have you seen the kids that do yearbook? Nerds pick on them.
Cordelia: I didn't think yearbook nerds came out of hibernation 'til spring.
I myself was on the yearbook staff at my high school during my senior year. I wasn't one of the popular kids myself , but most of the yearbook editors were the more popular kids in the school. There were seven of us who did most of the work on the yearbook. So the thing I was wondering is, is my school the only one that had popular kids on the yearbook staff, or are they incorrect at Sunnydale High in assuming only the nerds are on the yearbook.
