Welp, time to burn another heretic at the stake. I'll go get the giant ass wooden stake, someone else get the rope, torches, bundles of sticks, and kindling.

Never, because he fills the role of "little brother." Get a group of girls together and any little brother that's within their realm becomes their slave. I'm of course going off of what I've seen in late 80s, early 90s family sitcom, but I assume that this is how it works.

I'd accept that if we were still in season 2, maybe 3. But I think we have gone far too long for this poor guy not to get ticked that he does all the busy work. While his friends are saving the world he is...oh, he is carrying bags...an, uh...sending letters. Awesome. Glad he sent that letter, god forbid it be late.
You see what I'm getting at?

Well he tried that before, and the Mane Six just laugh him off. Honestly I don't see any real development coming Spike's way. There's been many Spike episode in this series' run with no long term effect. Spike will forever and always will be their bitch.

That's what I would like to see change. Spike, while occasionally a prick see what I did there?, is a nice dude fundamentally. Why does he always get the short end of the stick?

I typed "Spike is" in the search bar. The first option was "Spike is best pony". The second option was "Spike is sad and kills himself".
Wil is right this time.

I know. I don't want him to be right, is what I'm saying.
I want Spike to not be laughing stock of the Mane 6.

Then who would be there for comic relief?
But some of the things they (by they Mane 6) make him do aren't really for the benefit of the plot. Like in Rarity takes Manehatten, Spike carries all those bags and the writers don't go anywhere with it, no jokes, no plot development, no nothing. The plot wouldn't have changed if he had stayed home.

I guess they wanted to keep the hopes of SpikexRarity alive.
