Very interesting thoughts. I agree that season 6 would have been differently received viewed in DVD marathon than the way it did when it aired.
As for the wide range of views on Spike, I'm still stunned sometimes when I see him portrayed in fanfics by writers who write him well but with aspects of his personality that are for me a big no-no thus make me stop reading ,at once - even if paired with Buffy. ;-) The thing that come to my mind then is : while I recognize him , he's not my Spike , he wouldn't do this.And that's final.
I don't read the comics but I also discovered the other post you linked to with great interest.
