Your opinion here as a journalist is too biased as a journalist you are not here to give opinions you are here to be objective. Why push for James Masters to miss out on a role he was a bad guy to begin with who did bad things everyone needs a bad guy/girl I think his role was pivotal and had longevity, Also as hard as it is to hear (as a woman which I am) r*pists can repent and become a changed remorseful person. I feel Spike was remorseful and is not the character he once was (in the end). He played a huge role and I think it would be good to explore him further same as with other characters! Past tense or future.
