I think the main reason was they Buffy was seeing things in shades of gray (or grey, you pick) and while Spike was still somewhat of a threat he was 'defanged' and there is a part of her - the part that is Buffy, not the Slayer, that didn't want to kill him because of that. If she killed Spike who was chipped it would have been killing a vampire because he was a vampire, but if she doesn't, if she lets certain demons live, then she isn't just a killer, she's a protector.

I think that the help he could provide was a big factor and the threats are their way of bickering. Xander jokes, Buffy threatens. It's just the way they are.

Staking isn't good for you, you're completely right Deb. Unless you have the Ring of Amora or it's wood grain but even then I'm sure it still smarts.

I have been thinking of this question for awhile now, like through the series Buffy & Spike have been telling each other there going to kill each other but never do it, That does make a lot since to me but in "Season 5" wow, Spike in the epsiode "Out Of My Mind". Spike was about to get his chip to destory Buffy, but the doctor did do the process of removing the chip, But when Buffy discovered that Spike & Harmony have the doctor to remove the chip, she was furious to kill Spike, But again didn't stake him, towards the at the end of the epsiode Spike had the most outragous dream of him kissing Buffy , I guess mortal enemies have a thing for each, I mean after that Spike has been obessed with Buffy through the series, Until Buffy have discovered that Spike was in love with her she was so disgusted.

Overall, Spike was a great ally for Buffy & The Gang, he was great fighter and Buffy was feeling for him in the end of the show, Joss Whedon and James Marsters had discuss about Spike being in love Buffy, That Spike has been and always in love with Buffy but didn't show in the show, cause all you see love/hate relationship in the series.

In "Season 6" Buffy threatned Spike to kill him in the epsiode "Wrecked" The begining part of the episode Buffy threatned him not to tell the gang about them in the Abandoned House with them two last night,(In the Epsiode "Smashed") But Spike's expression on his face wow, he knew that Buffy really didn't mean it lol


After all Spike was great for Buffy:)

I think part of it at first in season four would have been because it wasn't morally right to kill someone who can't fight back. Later on because he was helpful in that fight, and after that would be her feelings for him, that she denied.

Second season-She had bigger fish to fry(Angel) Third season- That was his pass, for helping her in the second season. fouth season-wasn't even worth it. fifth season-he was starting to become helpful(I do think that if he told Glory, Dawn was the key, she would have killed him). Sixth season-well, she was sleeping with him(I am shocked she didn't stake him when he tried to rape her.) Seventh season- A friendship and love was forming.

I agree with Nika and Kitkat. Really good layout for the season Kitkat, and then I am in agreement with Nika's thoughts that after season four it was underlying feelings that stayed her hand.

Yeah, I don't think it was either.

Buffy didn't want to kill him because as much as she hated him, once he had the chip in his head, he was not a threat anymore. It would be morally wrong to kill him, and she couldn't live with herself if she did. It didn't actually have to do with Spike at all--it was about Buffy herself and what was right.

Well, Buffy & Spike Love / Hate relationship would be the most complicated relationship i mean yeah buffy and spike either say i gonna kill you, and there are so much more that Spike & Buffy would say each other and never do it. The two of them would fight each other and Buffy would beat up Spike to get some answers of what she needs

this answer doesnt really make much sense (see debs' answer above) but its close enough i guess. i think it's because she has some feelings for him (you didnt specify which season this is, so nobody yell at me). she doesnt want to admit it, maybe really has no idea, but she wants him around to much to stake him. i think they were both a little bit in love way before anyone ever realized it. i agree with adwbuffy.

To be honest, Spike kept living because the fans liked him.
