> So, Spike, who has been a **blonde** every time we’ve seen him in the 20th century, decides to go with **black hair** when he becomes a **NAZI**? I mean, I know, he wants to look all Teutonic and stuff, but he’s already an _Ubermensch_, for Pete’s sake! What, did the Germans ration all their peroxide for the experimental rocket planes or something?

I think Spike didn’t actually go blonde until the seventies, around the beginning of the punk rock era. Also if the spoilage I’ve read is any indication, Spike hasn’t actually become a Nazi in next weeks episode. Think Nazi proto-Initiative.

I’ve been worrying about this since, well, the beginning of the season. Gunn really seems to be enjoying his new powers of lawyerage and Gilbert and Sullivan way too much for my comfort.

Gunn and Wes fight?

There could be some kind of oil…

Dangit, **Thea Logica** beat me to the oil comment. I’ve always had the hot bananas for Gunn, even back in his do-rag days.

He’s been shown as some form of blonde since the 1800’s when he was turned. Honey- or sandy-blond, certainly not bleached, but blond nonetheless. Definitely never jet black.

Yeah, William was a sandy blonde, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Spike pretty much changed his look throughout the 20th century and then settled on bleach-blonde for whatever read (Maybe Dru really, really liked it.)

Which reminds me, I’ve been meaning to ask: just what _is_ JM’s real hair color?

JM’s natural hair color is either black or dark, dark brown. There’s been some disagreement, but he had pretty long roots this summer and i was close enough to examine then, and they looked black to me.
