How many different ways can Joss and company defeat and degrade our little Blondie Bear(well first off by letting Harmony call him that 'cause well the name has stuck)? Let us count the ways. Starting from season two to current time, the many ways Spike has been belittled.

There was of course that little incident in season two where Spike landed himself in a wheelchair. Well it's not as if he did it all by himself or anything. The Slayer, always that pesky little Slayer, she clocked him with an organ she did. And a building fell down upon him too, poor dear. It left him rather broken, gave him the gift of a shiney red wheelchair to patter about in. Talk about putting the vamp down a few pegs. It tore up his self-esteem, made him feel half the vamp. His beloved Drusilla, who had only recently began to feel herself again lived reversed as Spike's caretaker..,poor thing that Spike, what oh what could Joss possibly do to him next?

For starters that brilliant madman Joss took away Angelus soul. Let the now evil vampire back into Spike and Dru's life, or rather unlife. And like Spike said this version of Angel was not playing with a full deck. But Angelus wanted his place back in Spike and Dru's happy home. That dominant little spot near the hearth. Angelus soon had Dru's heart on a string tied securely around his finger and he let the bleached one know this at every possible turn. Taunting and teasing he made Spike's unlife hell. Not too mention all the little nicknames Angelus gave his childe. Sit and Spin and Roller Boy to name a few.

And at long last came season four it had been nearly half a year since we had last seen Spike during his all to brief appearance in Lover's Walk of season three. Joyous screams echoed out through the land of Buffdom cause the big bad was back. But he brought along...Harmony. Harmony? Could he possibly go with anything more oppsite than Drusilla? Harmony obsessed with France, mall girl, Cordette extraordinarre. But at least to his credit(or rather Dru's)he loved syphilis more than Harm. I liked Harmony personally but it just oozed from every move Spike made that he did not.

Spike and Harmony eventually parted ways...and Spike soon found himself in a most compromising position. Defanged! Defenseless he found his way to the charity of his most hated enemy, the Slayer who continued the humiliation even further. Both her and Watcher Giles insisted that he be bolted into a tub or else securely tied to a chair. So here he was now, living off donated blood bags and listening to the continous prattle of the Scooby Gang. But really could it get any worse?

Um yeah. Just look at this outfit. Mr dark clothes make the vamp was reduced to wearing the threads of one Xander Harris. Turns out there isn't a lot of call for a vampire to hone in on his domestic duties. Spike had a bit of a housekeeping accident while trying to wash his clothes. Shrunk them all up poor fella' and in desperation to avoid complete nudity he hunted up a not so appealing Hiawaiin shirt and baggy khaki cargo shorts for wardrobe. C'mon already wasn't this torture enough? No more! I can no longer bare it!

And aparently neither can Spike. He's letting everyone know what he thinks about them with a good ole' 'sod off!' After all, he's endured being stuck in a wheelchair for a while, losing his beloved, hooking up with an empty headed vampire, getting neutered, and being forced into bright garb. Can you hardly blame him for the great flick off?

I can't say that I'm waiting to see how far Spike gets shoved down in Season five...oh what the heck I just can't wait to see him regardless.
If you come up with a situation that's seen our Spike on the not so glamorous path, do let us know, and it'll be added.
