It's like that "is not about good and evil-it's about power" shtick 
the First was giving Spike in "Lessons."  Then we hear about 
the "Uber-Vamp" and Buffy claiming that Spike's POWER makes him 
unstakable. Doesn't matter what sins he did in the past, or the 
severe lack of remorse for them.

He's more "evolved" than Angel.  He doesn't have crisis of conscience.
Which I THOUGHT, was the whole idea of a vampire with a Soul.

It's like Spike was the "Uber-Vamp."  A character "above" good and 
evil because of his POWER.  He didn't have to answer for anything 
because he was "the most powerful warrior."  

Or because, naked Spike=ratings!!!

Kind of makes all the moralizing directed at Willow rather 
hypocritical, ya know?

I'm in favor of setting Mandy from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and 
Mandy" on him and watch her grind him to dust.

Willow: "It's a good fight, Buffy, and I want in."
Buffy:  "I kinda love you."
