It's not that the drug thing bothers me, it's just that I strongly suspect I'm not reacting to it in the way in which the writers are anticipating that the majority of their audience will react. (And from the comments I've seen, they've gauged the majority reaction correctly.) I can certainly see Spike getting addicted--but for me, that doesn't come off as sexy, balls-back, in-control Spike. Just the opposite. I'm a little afraid that I'm going to end up in a cognitively dissonant reading space where what the writers are saying is not what I'm hearing. Season 6 redux, the horror, the horror. >:)
