How did you interpret what Andrew said when the girls were playing strip poker and he told Xander that if he was there "He'd be bored." Does this mean Andrew isn't interested...or wants to keep the girls to himself? I personally think the first one...he was just bored  |

I always thought it meant xander just wanted the girls to himself but now i think about it maybe he did mean andrew isn't interested. But i never really understood why people think Andrews gay, i mean i do get it he has done alot of gayish things in the past but remember the free cable porn? he was loving that and also don't forget that Scully wants him so bad  |

But i never really understood why people think Andrews gay, i mean i do get it he has done alot of gayish things in the past but remember the free cable porn? he was loving that and also don't forget that Scully wants him so bad It's a running joke in Buffy that Andrew is in the closet, and he himself doesn't know that he is gay. He says both straight and gay comments, which at first confused me, but on later reflection, it makes total sense. When Andrew says something considered "straight", it's typically around someone or to someone, like he's making a statement. "Scully wants me so bad" was his way of saying " I want Scully so bad". But if you'll note, he was saying it consciously for everyone to hear: ... and they didn't buy it. The only example I can think of that Andrew has ever done anything considered "straight" is in AtS S5:"The Girl in Question", when he goes off with a model on each arm. Joss has said that he was distracted during the filming of that, and meant to have a male and a female model (furthering the joke), but by the time he caught it, they'd wrapped shooting the episode, and it was made canon. On the other hand, when Andrew says or does something considered "gay", it's typically off-hand and passive, like a reflex. Example given above the strip poker "bored" comment. He really was bored, there was nothing exciting about a bunch of hot slayers sitting around next to a roaring fire in nothing but their underwear. Another example is in "Storyteller" when Andrew is filming Xanders workmanship on the windows completely ignoring Willow and Kennedy's makeout session. Yet another example, in contrast to the Scully comment is his reaction to Xander's reference to Scott Bakula in "Him". Like I said, his straight comments are calculated and his gay comments are reflexive, bringing me to believe that he is a closet gay. |

In the context of S8 now, tho, you can interpret that scene as both of the girls being slayers, with the three of them on their way out to do some undercover evil-fighting business at a high-class party somewhere in town...  |

I think he is gay, because when he was watching Spike and Anya have sex he was like,"Spike is so cool..."and he added quickly like,(not sure the words)"Anya's hot too." Something like that.

I never thought it really spoke to Andrew's sexuality, so much as his personality. He is basically an asexual being in most regards, regardless of his underlying preference. Moreover, he doesn't seem to recognize other people for the relatively horny bastards they are.
So for Andrew, not only would he prefer a huge demon fight, or playing Halo, to playing or just watching nubile young women play strip poker, it doesn't occur to him that other people are governed by different interests than his own. Ergo, he's bored, and Xander would "be bored".

Oh. I thought he was being sarcastic to Xander, as in "you'd be bored"; yet highlighting the difference between himself and xander as andrew may have genuinely been bored but it puts across that andrew uses sarcasm, to say that xander wouldn't be bored with the girls?

I think that Joss' intentions were for him to ACTUALLY be bored, I mean, just look at Andrew's face. If he wasn't bored, don't think he'd look..... happier? I think we know the writers love to play around with Andrew's sexuality.

Just because you've got boobs doesn't spell a good time for gay guys. Well, not for some anyway; i.e. me. A brain and a decent personality would be nice too. |
