They prevent the seal from opening again, but during the course of the fight, Wood finds out that Spike is a vampire and that Buffy cares about him very much, making him uneasy.

The sound can be heard, for example, when Spike Jones sings " Der Fuehrer's Face " ( from the 1942 Disney animated film of the same name ), repeatedly lambasting Adolf Hitler with: " We'll Heil!

In ‘ Stray Dog Strut ’ the final fight between Spike and Hakim is influenced by Bruce Lee ’ s Game of Death while in ‘ Waltz for Venus ’, Spike ’ s kung fu lesson is eerily similar to a scene from Lee ’ s Enter the Dragon.

Other visual and aural cues are also taken from film noir, in ‘ Pierrot Le Fou ’ for instance, Spike battles an enraged homicidal clown across a fairground, accompanied by lighting and camera angles any film noir would be proud of.

Several railroads later, Ogden Flats, Utah, where the Golden Spike was driven, was named for him.

Forced to take a mundane and degrading job slinging burgers at the Doublemeat Palace, she begins suffering from extreme depression and self-loathing, embarking on a violent sexual relationship with the vampire Spike which leaves neither satisfied and spawns dire consequences for the both of them.

Spike also leaves San Francisco after it becomes difficult for him to be around Buffy anymore.

While contributing to various journals, he undertook investigative tramping expeditions in and around London, collecting material for use in " The Spike ", his first published essay, and the latter half of Down and Out in Paris and London.

In August 1929 he sent a copy of " The Spike " to the Adelphi magazine in London, and it was accepted for publication.

It thus helped prepare the television audience for At Last the 1948 Show, Spike Milligan's Q series, Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Goodies.

These feelings are apparently reciprocated, as Jet and Spike always allow her to return despite claiming they're pleased to see her leave.

In the show's second season ( 1997 – 1998 ), Buffy continues to come to terms with her destiny, finds forbidden love with benevolent vampire Angel ( David Boreanaz ), and clashes with new villains Spike ( James Marsters ) and Drusilla ( Juliet Landau ).

She unexpectedly becomes emotionally close with Spike, who has sought out his soul in an effort to prove himself to her.

She also confesses her love to a disbelieving Spike before he sacrifices himself to save the world ; as he dies, Buffy escapes Sunnydale's destruction with the surviving characters.

In the episode " The Girl in Question ", Angel and a resurrected Spike travel to Rome to find her, where they learn she is apparently now dating the Immortal.

Notably, Spike's first act in Sunnydale is to attack Buffy and a large group of people at her school, making his first appearance the deadliest of any of Buffys " Big Bads ", as he very nearly kills Buffy, but Buffy's mother distracts Spike long enough for Buffy to recover.

Spike is a devoted caretaker to Drusilla in her weakened condition, and initially hopes the Hellmouth's energy can help restore her strength.

When Buffy rejects his advances, Spike attempts to prove his love by kidnapping her so that she can witness him killing Drusilla for her, to little avail ; in her disgust, Buffy un-invites him from her house ( something she had not bothered to do in the almost three years since their alliance against Angelus ) and alienates him from the group.

Though Buffy is disgusted by this, her hostility towards him fades considerably when she learns that Spike refused, even under intense torture, to reveal the identity of The Key to Glory, nearly laying down his life to protect Buffy's sister Dawn.

In the days and hours leading up to the final showdown with Glory, Spike fights by Buffy's side, earning her trust and a re-invitation to her house.
