Short Post.

I finished the LA series yesterday. Regardless of the divide on the community on whether we liked it or not, I think an appreciation post for John Cho is in order now that filming is over and the release is a few days out.

As a community, this sub had a lot of doubt for Cho being able to play (what im sure many of us agree) one of the most beloved and unique main character of any TV show. Spike is charismatic, stoic, mysterious, aloof... an incredibly complex character that is really impossible to compare to any other fictional character. We knew who the main actors were gonna be for the show, and while there were opinions had on all of them, Cho without a doubt got the most Flak.

...and Cho did an damn good job with an almost impossible task.

The Fighting scenes. The one-liners. The sadness behind the eyes. The chemistry with Mustafa Shakir (and other characters, but that specific chemistry deserves special note). These are key aspects of Spikes character, and he makes them appear EFFORTLESS. I never felt I was watching an actor play Spike Spiegel, I felt like I was watching the actual character.

If you read this John, you did a really damn good job. This show means a lot to me personally and my expectations were met and exceeded.
