The poor guy's wardrobe that season (6) basically consisted of nothing. It wasn't healthy for him, that weight loss.

I think it was kind of obvious someone was indulging their own fantasies in that season...

Oh, definitely.

And they were lucky they'd shifted over to UPN, who didn't really have any standards put in place. If they were still on the WB they wouldn't have been able to get so raunchy. Spuffy fans got lucky - no pun intended.

I actually felt sorry for James.

James on set: I'm cold!
Director: You're a vampire, you have no circulation!

The grueling, stressful work days likely contributed to James weight loss in that season.

Also I know we have discussed before how much thinner Sarah got as the seasons progressed too.

Her weight loss started being really noticeable to me in S4 in the fight scenes. As the season progressed, there was a definite difference in size between her and her stunt double.
 
i love the whole package... actor, character everything. Nope I don't like the bad things Spike does and no i don't like 'bad boys' but I'm partial to smart, sassy men and partial to thin, tight bodied men and I find Spike's character arc very satisfying.

I don't like big doughboys. I can see big handsome men are big and handsome but they do nothing for me.

JM is a great actor with a great body who plays a very interesting character. Spike is quick witted, funny and dynamic and he's got an amazing ability to say all sorts of very hot sexual stuff with his mouth without saying a word... His face is extremely expressive, his body is expressive... that's all on JM.

But yes, I find the character fun too. He's a bit over the top at times and when he's wicked, I don't like it anymore than I like Angelus. But Spike is an iconic character. No, I'm not terribly fond of the bleach either and I imagine it must have been painful to do for so long.

I do think light hair actually does look good on JM. Even if it's grey. 😺

As for him being too thin in the series... You do realize he was playing a character that was supposed to be almost half his actual age... he had to work out hard to not look ridiculously older than his character. he's 20 years older than Sarah who is quite a bit older than the character she plays. They're supposed to be not that far apart in age. By 2002 he's 40 playing an approximately 25 year old. He had no choice but to work out and stay as tight in the body as he could.

It's why he said he could not come back to the show as Spike if there was a revival. He rightly felt he was too old. You can see it in recent pictures. he looks good, but he doesn't look like a young man. He's nearly 62
 
Spike was the second crush I ever had, behind David Tennant's doctor, but much like Dawn I outgrew my crush on him.
 
The punk look with the bleached hair, boots and all was never my thing. That's the kind of thing you're into when you're in high school, but I wasn't into that even back then. Josh Holloway in Lost pulls off the sexy blonde bad boy thing much more convincingly, with his superior facial features and charisma.

Angel and Wood though... 😊

James is 15 years older than Sarah. And Sarah was about 20 when the show began, playing a 16 year old (I believe) so not a huge gap.
Sometimes as you watch the series you remember that JM is actually closest in age with ASH!

You do see JM is thinner is s5+6 but in s7 he's back to a more healthier weight.

Was S7 when he started wearing clothes again after two rather chilly seasons?
NotASlayer - chilly seasons. 🤣
Yes, s7 sees poor 'ol Spike allowed to be warm again!

(Though the poor man was chilly again in an episode on AtS later on!)

Wish we'd had more time and character development with Robin Wood. It was a pleasant bonus he is very nice to look at. 😉
 
I thought Spike was VERY appealing in S2, I just loved his personality. Physically, he's not really my type, but his attitude made him quite sexy.

S2 Spike was the best Spike.
