You're gonna be like "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" after you hear my question BUT, I don't know the answer so I'm askin' anyway :D

From the interviews and such I've seen of JM, it seems like he doesn't like SMG very much.  This makes me sad, because-HELLO-Spuffy!  Obviously, I know JM and SMG are real people and not Spike and Buffy, but it still makes me sad to think they don't like each other.  Does anyone know anything more about this?  If I'm crazy just tell me, but like I said I've seen things that have made me go hmmm...For example I just recently watched a video of JM and Juliet Landau at some convention, and JM makes comments about how he loved working with JL as Drusilla and other comments about how he didn't like the Spuffy story line because at the time he couldn't see Buffy actually getting with Spike, and he it took him a while to believe Spike would fall for her.  That's only one example.

Am I crazy?  Does anyone have concrete evidence to support my claim?  Either way I'd love to hear some thoughts on this even though I'm SURE this has been discussed TO DEATH!

I thought he was supportive of the relationship until S6. That clusterfuck storyline of Marti Noxon's really did a number emotionally on him and Smidge. I remember reading interviews with him about it and he really internalized a lot of the self hate that Buffy & Spike were exhibiting on the show.

I don't think they hate each other. I think time has cooled his obvious affection for her. I think he thought the world of Smidge, but when she decided not to do the eps on Angel, his perception of her changed. She was no longer on the pedestal he'd placed her on. I think he sees her for the person she is and not some fantasized version. They seemed friendly at the Paley panel.

Haha, I've never heard the nickname Smidge!

I guess from some of the television appearances and whatnot that he made, it kinda sorta sounded to me like he was a bit sensitive that she basically ended Buffy to go off and make movies?

But I'm glad to see my perceptions are wrong! I really didn't like thinking they hated each other!!
