    Who do you guys think spike would have chosen ***spoiler***(had Julia and Spike not died) ?

    I think Faye, 'cos they seem to be really close by the end of the series***end spoiler*** and Julia just gets on my nerves. (Well Faye gets on my nerves too but not as much as Julia. So I voted Faye.

    I don't think Spike would ever consider Faye as a partner...more like a bratty sister. Spike would keep Julia in his heart/eye forever...cuz that's the way Spike is. What happened at the end is Faye breaking down because of losing family. Well, that's my account of it, anyway.

    But I still chose Faye because I think she's hotter than Julia and more independent. I love that. She ain't gonna bend to rules, she bends THEM. Plus the fact that, y'know...she's cool...and stuff. Yup.

    Spike SHOULD pick Faye. That's what I'm basing my vote on.

    It is Julia. If you think he'd pick Faye, I think you kind of missed the point somewhere along the line. Spike and Faye weren't more than friends at the end of the series, and Spike was always in love with Julia. As long as she was alive, I really don't think he'd go with anyone else.

    Spike's heart is only set on one person and thats Julia. We cant change whats in his heart! No one can get over their first love ..

    so agreeing with DL and toom here. spike loved julia. after she died he had nothing to live for (well other than getting vicious grr) and i liked the bratty little sister reference for faye. definitely julia there just isnt another choice!

    While by the end Faye loved Spike, Spike just couldn't return the feelings. Julia was Spike's one true love, and she was all he had to live for. Once she died, that was it for him......you know the rest.

    Have you read the question?
    It's who SHOULD Spike have chosen, not who WOULD Spike have chosen.
    Obviously he WOULD choose Julia, but if he had chosen Faye the series would have been full of even more intresting twists ^_~

    I read and understood the question perfectly, I'm just expressing opinion. I didn't want to just post on a topic of "Faye" or "Julia" then proceed to leave. I wanted to share my thoughts.

    Odd though, how no one picked up that I also chose Julia, but whatever. :D I guess my vote got fkcked up. :p In any case, I don't think Faye had any deep lovey-dovey feelings for anyone in the crew. Not Jet, not Spike, not no one. Why? Because it'd have been like incest to her. She didn't want to see big bro go away...and was pissed at pop for letting him go without a complaint. I seriously think that the Bebop is her surrogate family, where she can be a kid again. Or, at least, someone who's taken care of and cared for in a familial fashion.

    And I dunno Toomz, I got over my first love...it's the...uhh...whichever number was the last one that really hit the heart. :p I'm just an exception, probably.

    And yeah, Spike WILL pick Julia. No matter what, Spike is going to give his all for her. Why? Because, he hasn't moved forward yet...that's what the whole ending was for...trying to move forward but his past still held him and caught him.

    BUT, if Spike and Faye weren't so brotherly/sisterly, I think they'd make a great couple. Why? They do good together (okay, take that in a VERY loose manner, please) and they kinda fit each other. In an oddball sort of way...and I can see that happening in terms of Bebop easily.

    Oh, you know who else would look good? But you KNOW wouldn't work? Elektra. Why? Dude, she's hot, she's got a Priss thing going on...and she and Spike actually seemed like they were flirting. Too bad she's stuck on that one dude, just like Spike and Julia. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". I don't know....it's a weird couple, but I think it'd be cool to see.

    Don't come back to this forum.

    Until, that is, you've seen all the episodes. Somebody's post is bound to spoil the ending for you sooner or later. Lord knows that happened to me. :( (on another forum anyways)

    Ara, actualy the question was who WOULD Spike have chosen.
    Also I don't think Spike and Faye had a brotherly/sisterly relationship, I don't think that happens unless the pair have known each other since they were very young, and even then it can still become love(this is speaking from an anime perspective). They could have become a couple if it wasn't for Julia I think. But, like Kame said, we'll never know.

    duh... Julia. Spike never saw anything more in Faye. Of course, perhaps Faye saw something more in Spike. but there was no time for any of that to go anywhere. Spike always loved Julia. When she died, he died inside. I can bet 100% that he wouldn't have died as easily if she hadnt been shot down before hand.

    I believe Spike would still choose Julia if he had a choice. He has loved Julia from the time Spike and Vicious weren't enemies. He can't forget what he had lost when he faked his death. There is nko love like true love.

    Although we would all like to see a Spike x Faye pairing, it would not be a easliy recognizable choice. Spike and Faye do get along on some level more like friends than brother and sister (in my opinion). They both respect one another, that's why Faye cries when Spike leaves. She misses the one of the crew she could most relate to, perhaps in the universe. He couldn't forget his past, and she couldn't remember hers.

    I would have to admit, I'd like to see a Faye and Spike together, but that would spoil the enitre ending.

    Erm..:sweat2: Actually, (sorry Leprachaun-san *bows*), but I did sort of mean who should Spike have chosen, but the answers from all you people would've been the same.
    I guess Spike would have chosen Julia, but I still think Spike-Faye would be a better couple.
    But I guess beggers can't be choosers. :cool:
