I can't stand watching Spike like he is; I want Spike episodes in Season 6... but ones that portray him like a competent character, Far too often do I see Spike, as well as other males, be treated like useless nonsense or incompetent characters to the series (not the franchise, G1 and even G3 portray males alright).

Write episodes that have males be seen like somewhat useful characters... especially Spike; either fix him... or just write him out.
