Angel does not really become a fascinating character till he gets his own show. You'll know it soon, when you give it a try. He's my favourite vampire. *g*
I also understand, beyond the cheekbones, the attraction that fuels the Spike fangirls - Spike operates from unclear motives and impulses - you could tweak him in hundreds of different ways, which is fascinating. Angel *and* Angelus are by comparison really straightforward characters.
Sigh. I love Spike (especially when he's with Angel), don't get me wrong, but the writers insistence on making it All About Spike (S7 is all about 'feel sorry for Spike! feel sorry for Spike! feel sorry for Spike! did we mention you should feel sorry for Spike?) irritated the hell outta me. Buffy/Spike, however, does not do it at all for me - unless you also add Angel in the mix. Then it's the best ship ever!
