Best Entrance Poll

Now, given that I do believe that if Spike had been played by anyone else, his character would not have made it past "What's My Line? Pt 2" as intended. Even so, I wonder...

I agree, Spike has the best entrance ever in television history.

[ms_scarletibis]

Yeah, I can't really think of anything that tops that, honestly, or at least, if there is, it clearly wasn't memorable like Spike's entrance.

I never thought about how good that entrance really was. But it really is better than any other characters in BtVS.

What that has to do with how long they planned on keeping him in the show or would Spike have been as popular without that beginning, I don´t know.

But it was great and they kept him and we love him.

I haven't seen that entrance in its entirety in a long while, and when I did, it just sparked all those initial memories of "wow" lol :P

With no question, his entrance, like his character, was designed to be the "ultimate cool." Honestly, I think he would have been a hard character to get rid of by being the ultimate cool no matter who played him, but his longevity was definitely due to Marsters superior acting.

Well you have 100% agreement on the second question. As for the first question, I had to go with Giles, 'cause he looked so cool whoopimg Willow's ass, and I love me some Giles in his Ripper mode, and he was mos def in Ripper mode in that scene.

As for Pretty Woman, the fact that they used a body double for much of that movie (Julia has chicken legs) probably didn't hurt either.

[ms_scarletibis]

Yeah--"I'd like to test that theory" was pretty damn awesome.

And I thought the stunt double was only for the cover of the movie?

Giles, all the way, that entrance was made of so much awesome. And even though I put that Spike's entrance in "School Hard" would have probably won, he actually didn't hook me right away like he seemed to everyone else.

[ms_scarletibis]

Lol--yeah, you're in the minority there Tammy :P Or at least on my f-list, I'm sure.

[musicbitch]

Shame on me, I know. I think I was too blinded by the hotness of Angel to notice him much then.

[ms_scarletibis]

Hey, you're allowed to be blinded by both ;)

Though honestly, it was kind of like "Angel who?" when Spike stepped on the screen. Though Xander did look pretty gosh darn hot in his slow mo entrance in "Go Fish" and...damn it. That should have been on this poll :P

[dorians_kitten]

Oh no. I misread the poll. I would have chosen Giles. Damn.
And yes. Spike has absolutely got the best entrance. I have actually made my friend watch it with me in slow motion as I made commentary.
Yep. I am a dork. :)

Another fun entrance is Wesley on Angel.

[ms_scarletibis]

Well, even though it was a mistake, you weren't alone (though I must admit, did the other person also make a mistake?). What did you think the question was? Though I did think Jonathan's superstar entrance was neat in a fun sort of way. But yeah, Giles was totally bad ass.

And I don't think that's dorky. Well okay, just a bit. And it totally does deserve a slow motion viewing :D

I considered Wes' entrance...but it was played for laughs kind of. And I know, I know, Jonathan, but it was only funny cause it was him, but it was meant to be a cool intro I think :P

[dorians_kitten]

No. I chose it because it was funny. I was thinking memorable entrances. I thought the Giles one said Glory. :(

[ms_scarletibis]

Ah, I see. That sucks :(
