As I said in the issue #12 thread, I think it's great! It's been made clear that Buffy isn't going to be gay, which makes me think that it won't be long-term. It just happened. She got caught up in the moment. It's a great twist and not completely out of character for Buffy I think. I'm interested to see how this plays out...and also what Willow thinks of it, because she didn't seem too happy.

I'm not just interested in what Willow had to say (though that's my main concern) but what Faith has to say, too...because of that whole 'sexy' thing eliza played up with the f/b dynamic.

I would love to see Faiths reaction too, i mean she obviously has regretted how she treated buffy in season 3 and how did that affect their relationship from that point on if we count the intro sequence on No Future For You , if Buffy could be with a girl that girl would be Faith and not Satsu . Not that I hold somethign against Satsu quite the opposite i do adore her with her funky style and her attitude towards B but hey she just aint right for her

Giles would completley moan about it and how she is being irresponsible, he still sometimes seems to treats her like the little 16 year old slayer she once was. Anya would be like: Anya: Oh Buffy and Satsu... go them!! She would probably pronounce Satsu's name wrong or something. I want to see how Xander got over Anya seen as there is a huge year and a half gap between season 7 and 8. Maybe in a stand alone, o I remember Joss said that Anya would make an apperance eventually so maybe then.

I figured If B was to ever go for a woman, that person would be Faith.

Why Faith, I don't understnad why Faith, she is the least lesbian cahacter on the show. And Faith would never go there not with Buffy anyway maybe in prison she did but outside she has the choice of guys, Robin Wood???

There's so much riding on this whole issue. Personally I see this as more of a potential threat than Twilight. It's sweet that Buffy found someone to connect with, even if it's a more pelvicky connection than full emotional. Joss has already pointed out that she isn't gay and it's no duh that this is going to cause some akwardness between B and Sat. Which is especially bad considering the forces mounting against the white hats currently. If they Buffy, even though well meaning after, does something to hurt or offend Sat, Satsu could be the big traitor we've been wondering about.
They say that sexuality is fluid, and as a heterosexual, I was surprised by this addition to Buffy's character. It makes me think back in high school I had two friends who considerd themselves gay. Now in college both have experimented with the opposite sex, and while one still considers himself gay the other is know rejecting labels. One of my closet straight friends expiremented and now considers themselves gay. I consider sexuality a half set dial. While most of us adhere to gay or straight sometimes something happens and we end up feeling an unexpected connection or interest in someone that we may or may not get in life. So I feel that Buffy's defenitly feeling a connection it's more a Marissa Cooper/Alex thing, with Satsu being that Alex of this situation.
Part of me also feels that this was publicity also. While S8 might be getting good reviews I know a lot of my old Buffy friends who don't like it and consider the show over back around seven. I hope Satsu is 18 or else we're looking at a clever semi-reverse of Buffy/Angel again. We've seen B with humans and vampires but never with another slayer.

Door #3- Not sure. More evidence is needed. That's how I feel. What I do know, it was sexy as hell! I feel Buffy was up front with Satsu and the girls are having fun. If they end up together or just continue enjoying each other's company, I'd be interested in both storylines. Why oh why couldn't Buffy had tried this out with Faith first?!?!?! *sigh*

It seems to me the poll should be expanded, because there are two ways of looking at this: Is this a bad move on Buffy's part. I'd have to give a firm "No" on the first, and a firm "Maybe" on the second. It's definitely problematical for Buffy, seeing as how Satsu is under her command... I agree with you. I have my own opinions on the whole Buffy and Satsu sleeping together. I will hold that for this paragraph. Obviously, we all know that Buffy isn't going to get in a relationship with Satsu, but what will this do to her? Buffy knew that Satsu has strong feelings for her and by sleeping with her it just complicates things more. I think that its neither a bad or good thing. I am glad there is another gay character in the Buffy-verse. However, this feels like deja-vu with the Buffster. When she feels alone in the world; season 6 of Buffy, she sleeps with one that has strong feelings for her. Ex: Spike. Yeah, she's opening minded and yadda, yadda, yadda. But think about it. She's in a world that she helped create. Yet she feels alone. When she was in that sleep spell that Amy did, Satsu brought her out. Instant connection there. This is definitely in Buffy's mind. Willow and her aren't in the best of terms. Xander is her bff, she has issues with Dawn and Giles is MIA. So it makes sense that she turned to feel "alive", or something with Satsu. She wanted to feel needed. I so see it. Maybe, I'm talking a lot, but I can deal with it. :vampirebite: Also, I like the whole Xander and Renee thing. Dracula coming in was pretty bitching! When everyone found out about Buffy and Satsu, I laughed so hard that I'm surprised that I didn't wake anyone up. Drew is the man!

I havent actually read this yet. Just the news articles. Might feel different once I get the issue. I'm sort of needing to vote 'not sure yet'. I went with bad idea, just because I really thought if they wanted to play with sexual experimentation it was time for some hot half naked gay men... not more hot girl on girl stuff. The fact that my guy friends get off on it, takes the shine off BtVS a little for me.. at least the feminist inside me. Other then that I don't care if Buffy gets it on with Satsu. I can see how this would come about, and trust that Joss knows what he's doing. But come on! She'd rather get it on with a slayer then Xander? Aw

I agree, it would have been better if we saw some hot guy on guy action. This is still one big thing that Joss has yet to accomplish in the Buffyverse. *sighs* Agreed. I don't want to see another lesbian! We need a gay guy already! One who is NOT Dracula, Xander, Oz, Riley, Robin, or Giles! A new character!! It would be cool for Andrew to bond with Satsu, or maybe Vi...and he can confide in them, come out, etc. A big thing Season 8 is lacking in so far is character development/friendshippy stuff. LOL let's get Scott Hope back, and he can hook up with Andrew!

I agree with you Mikey in the fact that Faith would be most likely to sleep with a woman in my eyes. I don't see her as a lesbian or as bisexual, but I love the way she toys around with it all, especially with Buffy in season 3. Her personality is so great! I don't think this is another Spike deal. It may be, but I just think that these 2 were attracted to each other in the moment and it's also true about the odds. 100 odd girls and one guy under the same roof. It was bound to happen. I love Buffy! Always exploring new themes!

Voted waaaayBad Choice. I think its well out of character for Buffy to sleep with Satsu from what she was telling her in the last issue too for her to just go back on whats eh said and mess around with Satsus head its band out of order for Buffy. Plus i would never want to see Buffy gay or bi.. I just think it would be wrong for the character! Wouldn't like it at all. Wrong so very wrong. But i do agree that there should be a gay guy and all seeing as theres not really been one. Other then Larry. I don't think you can class faith as a lessbo. I think they hinted at her being Bi with the way she acted and junk but cant really say she was lesbo

I support! I really liked the Buffy and Satsu hookup! Not only was it a surprise and a good new plot move for Buffy but it was hot and sexy!

I'm against it, seems out of character for the Buffster, but Joss has such a great storytelling track record I will stick with it until the very end.

I also think that it is too early to judge. It certainly had some shock value in the way it was presented but it will be really interesting to see where this takes the characters. This could either end up being really good and interseting or it could take something away from the story. I do have to say though, that it set up for one of the funniest scenes in the comics so far when every one walked in.

I'm over the whole Buffy sleeping with Satsu thing. I just wanna know what happens from here involving the two women.
I was wondering, around how old is Satsu anyways?
