Talk:The Initiative (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

were they originally after the sub or the vamps?
Something I am not quite clear on. During WWII, was the Initiative way focused on getting the sub itself (for the military technology) or the vamps and research data that were on the sub? Because although Lawson insists that the government would never do experiments like the Nazis, that is exactly what they wind up doing, and (since Spike never successfully burned the whole report) it sounds like they did base lots of their research/goals on what the Nazis had been doing. Was it ever clear whether the Initiative started out wanting to control/exploit demons, or if they got that idea from the Nazis? Riverbend 19:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Trivia Line
The trivia line mentions Spike fighting Initiative operatives when escaping containment even though he already had the chip implanted as if it was some kind of error. Later in the episode we see him toss Willow around and fight Riley, Forrest, and Graham, the chip only activating when he attempted to bite Willow and later Graham. After just finishing the episode this morning, I noted the previous observations along with future episodes where it is shown that he has to intend to harm an individual directly (something that doesn't include defending himself) and that he did not attempt to bite or kill anyone during his escape so I have removed this line.
