They have the worst habits, perhaps, but ultimately that is what has endeared him to audiences. I've been impressed, though, how the three characters I'm familiar with (Sawyer, Spike, Starbuck...alliterative, even) have all used these vices for greater dramatic effect. Shows the level to which each show transcends cliches, especially with flawed heroes.

(I still like him with soul, not quite as funny, much more vulnerable). And he was fab in season 2. I still find him very humorous all the way through though. But that's cos I fancy him like mad. :) Yeah, pre and post soul Spike is probably right. (I still like him with soul, not quite as funny, much more vulnerable). And he was fab in season 2.

He's not just addicted to Vicodin. He's addicted to being miserable and making others miserable and he's addicted to solving puzzles because everyone else hates him and there's nothing else for him to do. Those are some pretty messed up vices! But…but…but…I wub him! He’s not just addicted to Vicodin.

Perhaps I should have said pre- and post-soul Spike? Though I do stand by my assertion that he was the most fun in season 2. Laurie, House was a contender, but in the end I decided that his straight-forward Vicodin habit couldn't quite beat the other five. Put him at a solid #6, though.

Incidentally, Spike only took to kitten gambling after he'd fallen for The Slayer. He was still pretty cool even then, I was very amused at the creation of the Buffybot, it was when he got his soul back that you wanted to stake him a lot.
