I have tidings on the Andrew/Severin issue! At Comic-Con, at the "Buffy & LGBT Fandom" panel, attended by Jane Espenson, Tom Lenk, and Scott Allie they said that they would introduce a gay male character (or two) in S9, but that Andrew would not be getting a boyfriend. The thought was that they have too few such characters and to pair them up right away would be kind of lame storytelling. Like, if you have only two gay friends, do you HAVE to set them up on a blind date leading to marriage and children?
I'm not sure Andrew's ready, anyway. *pats him*
I'm with you on the trust fund baby vamp wannabes, but don't you still have a soft spot for Chanterelle/Lily/Anne? She wanted to be a vampire, but she was so lost. *pats her, too* She got over it.
I'm still not convinced that Severin is telling the truth about the zompires. Has Buffy seen one? She doesn't confirm or deny, does she? If this has been going on for months, you'd think she'd have some first-hand knowledge by now, unless it's a really rare phenomenon — suggesting that vampires ARE holding off on the siring or that he's just a big liar. Just because he shows her a warehouse full of bodies, it doesn't mean they were zompires. We KNOW he's been killing the old-time vampires, the ones that presumably have a demon animating them.
That said, I'm actually okay with the "demons come from somewhere else" cosmology. But I won't belabor the point here, especially since it doesn't match up with ALL the new and old info.
Spike on the Alcatraz tour is...kinda silly/wonderful. The do have the odd "Alcatraz After Dark" tours, dude. So impatient!
I would like to see you Spuff this issue up. How about the phone call turning into a cute domestic exchange, with hair twirling? C'mon, you know you wanna!
