Good golly, I can't sigh loudly enough at this. Spike "lives in the shadows of his friends"? He's an "outcast"? He's "disrespected"?

'''What show are you watching? Clearly it isn't this one.'''

When did Spike turn into a special snowflake who needs defending every time he's either the butt of a joke or has the SLIGHTEST bit of misfortune? Whether Spike is a main character or a supporting character, he is -- at the end of the day -- a character. And a decently well-written one, all things considered. Is there really any need for all this "Leave Spike alone!" posturing?
