Is there any woman more hated than the Spawn in TYRland? Everytime the finale airs, the hateful posts about Spawn start to accumulate.

Make sure you look at the Spawn gallery at the bottom of this page. I've made a comic of sorts and you can see SPAWN in her other forms.

NAME/NICK: Rosemary Burke, The Spawn, The Spawn of Satan. (Nick coined by Wendy)

EPISODES: Song of Isaiah, Till Spawn do us Part I & II

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Short, unimpressive, gray streak in hair, looks stoned.

EVIL DEEDS/WHY WE HATE HER: For one thing, she got too much airtime in the last episode. Why was she so important? She’s a really bad actress with no emotional depth. Her empty, stoned eyes and low monotone voice are highly annoying. Crying scenes are laughable. There was no chemistry between her and Jimmy. Also, she manipulated Jimmy and made him act like an ass. Instead of grieving for Noah, he was kissing the Spawn and he hid the list from Kid. Let’s not forget that she lured Noah to his death and she pretended to be happy at Kid and Lou’s wedding. She didn’t even know them! The list could go on and on.
An anonymous emailer added: I hate Spawn for willfully destroying a family . She caused a confused young man - Jesse- to leave home. She caused a decent caring man to leave this world permanently. Instead of leaving at that point, she stayed to cause more trouble. Thus she earned the name SPAWN!!

HOW SHE SHOULD DIE: Can you kill the Spawn of Satan? Burn her or maybe tie her up with a rope attached to a rock and throw her in deep water to see if she floats. Give her some bad drugs. :-)

MOST ANNOYING SCENE OR QUOTE: The kissing scene. When she cries at the funeral. When she cranes her neck to hear Kid’s real name at the wedding.
[To Jimmy] “Not tonight, I’m really tired.” (What, is she nuts!)
[To Jimmy] “It’s hurting you and that hurts me, I never meant to come between the two of you.”
[SPAWN to Noah] “Just like the army’s no place for someone like you? Of all people you should know how I feel.”
[Noah replies] “I can’t let you go alone.”
[SPAWN] “Then don’t.”

ANAGRAMS OF HER NAME:
OK! merry abuser - Indeed she is a merry abuser (she enjoys it)
Ruse broke army - I’m sure this ruse has something to do with the civil war.
Make sour berry - Metaphor for the destruction she caused.
You beserk ram - What Jimmy became when he met her.
Rue remarks boy - Any boy that gets to know her will eventually rue the day.

Here are some words using some of the letters of her name:
amok, user, abuser, breaker (of hearts, lives)

For absolute and utter clarification. The Spawn, otherwise known as Rosemary Burke, first appeared in our TYRWorld in Song of Isiah. She was the wife of Isiah Burke, who was a headstrong abolitionist. She gained the sympathy of Jimmy by making him believe that Isiah was not a good husband to her. During this time, she is formulating a secret pact with the devil to make Jimmy fall for her. During one of the abolitionist meetings that Jimmy attends with Nathan, Rosemary spikes the brownies with a secret evil love potion. This is not actually seen in the show and only really dedicated fans such as myself are aware of this little tidbit. Well, you know how Jimmy is about brownies, especially if they are sprinkled with pecans, and so he ate them and soon started feeling the effects of The Spawn’s secret plan.

During one of the raids of a slave camp, Isiah sends Rosemary into the camp as a decoy, but she is stupid and they discover she is working for the abolitionist, and they try to take her hostage. Well, lo and behold, the evil potion that is mixed in Jimmy’s blood from the brownies kicks in and he goes after her. Well, this causes a lot of commotion and a lot of animosity between Isiah and Jimmy and Jimmy gives more pity to The Spawn. Okay, so the episode is filled with more raid plans and Kid shows up and tries to talk Jimmy out of siding with the abolitionist. At this point, The Spawn realizes the friendship between Jimmy and The Kid and secretly devises a plan to put an end to that.

Well, we finally reach the end of the ep and Nathan is saved and Jimmy and Kid leave Kansas. Rosemary, I mean The Spawn, tries to gain more sympathy from Jimmy with her sappy story about Isiah, and he ends it with saying that she should have Isiah take her dancing. And Jimmy leaves and returns to Rock Creek.

By the way, did you know that Jimmy is the most damned sexy man alive? Well, he is. If you aren’t aware of this, then I suggest you watch all the Jimmy eps until you realize the full power of his sexiness.

Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, Jimmy leaves, and obviously The Spawn grows more angry and more ugly because her secret love potion didn’t work. So she comes up with another plan. She calls upon the dark forces of the underworld, namely her dark father who is none other than Beelzebub himself (it’s true, I looked it up) and so since Beelzebub is owed more than a few favors than he can count by a few lawyers in Los Angeles, he calls upon them to put a few spells on a certain 3rd season writer. I’m not sure what his name was, but we’ll call him Bob. And so, in the agreement, it is agreed that Rosemary, who again is The Spawn, is brought back to our TYRLand to do her evil work. So, it is arranged that she makes an appearance in the final episode of TYR.

Only, this time, she is much more evil and ugly, and stupid. And so, because she is so evil, ugly, stupid and just a downright terrible actress, The Spawn organizes a few southern sympathizers to kill Isiah. Of course, she feels this is a perfect opportunity to play off a crying scene, but please. All it did was give me nightmares with her ugly close-up.

So, Jimmy and Kid are on a run again and hear about Isiah’s death. Jimmy is worried about his sister, so they go to the Spawn’s house, where she is waiting again to put an evil spell on Jimmy. Only this time, she doesn’t use brownies. It may have been chocolate-chip and M&M cookies, but I’m not sure. I have my people looking into it. But anyway, because she is evil-incarnate, Jimmy brings The Spawn back to Rock Creek for safety. In the meantime, she tells Jimmy about a secret list of sympathizers, but she tells Jimmy he can’t tell Kid. This eventually forces a wedge between Kid and Jimmy, because as we know, evil has no room for friends, and as long as Kid is around, The Spawn’s evil seducing ways won’t work. So, Kid and Jimmy get in a fight and Kid tells Jimmy he doesn’t want him at his and Lou’s wedding. The Spawn of course thinks this is a perfect opportunity to make the moves on Jimmy. Of course, I don’t blame her. Jimmy is, after all, too damned sexy for words, but we are dealing with the most ugly evil in the universe, so she cannot have him!!

But Jimmy has a strong soul. He fights this evil spell and eventually makes it back to Rock Creek for the wedding. Of course, little Mrs. Ugly Evil Stupid Girl tags along to bring on more evil in our TYRUniverse. Because she realizes that Kid and Jimmy are good friends, she calls upon the dark one to devise another plan to destroy Jimmy’s world. This time, the evil one comes up with a plan so sinister and evil, that it would definitely forge a wedge between Kid and Jimmy forever.

While more sympathizers are on the warpath, The Spawnt ries to go after them and carry out her evil plan. But Noah stops her. You see, this wasn’t just a chance coincidence of interference. The Spawn knew if she road past Noah, he would stop her. She’s evil and ugly. Don’t you get it? So Noah, being the good guy that he is, who looks pretty damn good in those pants I might add, rides out with the Spawn. Well, wouldn’t you know it? Due to the evilness that dwells in the pit of her very soul, and since she has no soul, you know this is the purest of all evil, Noah gets killed. This drives the wedge further between Kid and Jimmy. But Jimmy is still under a spell and can’t help it. And as if Noah getting killed wasn’t the worst thing that could happen, The Spawn’s evil gets more black and sinister and Jimmy kisses her!!!! Oh, it tis a black, black day in TYRWorld, I’ll tell you that for sure. I am still in therapy after seeing him kiss the most evil creature in the world. My heart is broken. And if that’s not bad enough, evil Bob, the 3rd season writer, ends the episode with us believing that Jimmy is going to end up with The Spawn.

Damn the man! I say!! So, finally, we are at Noah’s funeral. The Spawn, who is not only the purest of all evil, but believes that she can go for an Emmy and tries to pull off another crying scene by crying at Noah’s funeral. Doesn’t she know she is evil and responsible for all the death and devastation in the world? Someone mentioned that she is probably responsible for Ike’s death as well. I’m sure you’re right, and I still have my people looking into it.

Well, there you have it. I hope this has cleared up all the confusion about who The Spawn is. When you think of the purest form of ugliness and evil, it is The Spawn of Satan, who came to our peaceful TYRWorld to bring death and destruction and lure Jimmy into a trap where his sexiness is questioned. And he was forced to kiss her. No wonder James Butler Hickok went blind in his later years. What do expect when you are forced to stare at the face of evil?

Class dismissed.

Bravo Wendy for uncovering her evil plan. (Thanks for letting me use this too).
