The only Spike episode that I found to be well-written is Secret of My Excess.

Owl's Well That Ends Well didn't present Spike very well, and the owl ended up becoming a Gary Stu.

While Dragon Quest presented Spike very well (probably his best characterization in the series yet), the other characters weren't, especially the teenage dragons.

Spike at Your Service didn't characterize Spike very well and it implemented the Dragon Code rather poorly. Still, I find this episode to be pretty good for the other aspects, but it was a missed opportunity for the writers to explore Spike's character more.

Just for Sidekicks, while still pretty good, ended up being just simply a fun episode rather than an important episode for Spike. I thought the writing was simply just okay. Not too much wrong, not too much right.

My Spike episodes ranking:


 * 1) Secret of My Excess
 * 2) Just for Sidekicks
 * 3) Spike at Your Service
 * 4) Dragon Quest
 * 5) Owl's Well That Ends Well
