Talk:Spike/@comment-68.160.246.12-20120414173308/@comment-4742142-20120414225604

I've said this many times, but I hate all this talk that Rarity was taking advantage of Spike and how she's manipulating him. It's all total BS. Think about it, Spike would have remained a giant in Secret of My Excess, if he didn't give Rarity the ruby. Also, I believe she cares about him more during the second season than she did for the first. What I do agree with, though, is that Spike doesn't get enough love and respect. There were times this season that I felt that Spike was treated more like an outcast or not really part of the family, and I'm referring to episodes, including The Last Roundup and Sweet and Elite. Maybe we'll see something after Season Two where he gets frustrated and felt like he's overworked and unappreciated. All we can do is just wait and see. For now, though, let's just wrap up the season and watch the finale one week from today.
