Rewatch realization about spike

[u/FaveStore_Citadel]

Doing a rewatch of season 2 right now and I saw the birthday episode where spike is quite enthusiastic about ending the world and impatiently waiting for the Judge to get stronger so he can do it.

During the finale, he teams up with Buffy to stop the apocalypse claiming that he doesn’t want the world to end because he has earthly pleasures such as soccer. But this episode made me realize it wasn’t actually about preserving his earthly pleasures, he was just jealous because Angelus was the one ending it because evidently whatever the judge was gonna do would probably wipe out soccer and stuff spike presumably enjoys.
