Okay, now that the cat's out of the bag about Buffy and Satsu, how many folks think that it will be:

1) A one night stand

2) Another of Buffy's "I can't love you, but I'll shag you just to forget" plans

3) The beginning of a long term mutually satisfying but non-loving relationship

4) The "real thing" for Buffy at long last

5) A death sentence for Satsu

6) A glimmer of hope for the Buffy/Faith shippers

7) A bad idea that can only lead to disaster

or

8) I really don't care one way or the other.


I tend to lean toward either 3 or 4. It's about time Buffy found somebody that she can care for who stands at least a better than average chance of being accepted by her friends (though Giles may just polish a hole right through his glasses!)
 
1) 'Cause obviously, Buffy doesn't think she's gay. And given the awkwardness that followed the encouter, I don't think they'll repeat it any time soon.
3) But they might at a later date, once or twice.
4) There's even a small chance that Buffy's gonna turn gay on us.
5) If it weren't for Satsu dieing.
 
Well the fact that Joss said it was just something that happened, and Buffy isn't even going through a gay-phase, I would go with option one, but I think that Buffy and Satsu will have a close friendship (with no benefits!) in the future.

I'm not really bothered either way though, I just go with the flow 🙂
 
It doesn't bother me at all. Some people are curious when it comes to "gay sex" and that where I see Buffy. Not gay, or bi, but curious.
As for Satsu, I think her days are numbered.
 
I must be the only one annoyed by this. I have not read my comic yet but grrr. I just don't see Buffy doing this. I am all for the gayness, trust me. But I just can't help it. Real life Buffy would not have ever been with a girl, atleast I don't think, so why is cartoon Buffy?

I will go with, a one night stand....



EDIT: Ok, I'm over it now! Needed to cool off I guess.

Totally agree!
TabulaRasa, I had my doubts when I first heard the news too, but the ways it's written in the comics, is really believable. And like Joss said, she isn't going to turn gay on us, but she's just open-minded and lonely... which is a lethal combination 😉
 
I'll go with the one night stand, and things don't look good for Satsu in the long life department.

Somfar, You're probably right on both counts, but I just kep hoping that Buffy will have finally found someone who can at least givr her happiness and who she doesn't have to fear won't be accepted by her friends.
i'm going with one night stand that will lead to a close friendship, and then Satsu's tragic, but expected, death. the teaser for issue #15 is making me think Satsu's gonna go bye-bye.
 
I reallllly hope she doesn't die. I am in the middle of a custom for her. And I really like her.

Yeah but how exactly do you know what Buffy would do? I mean I don't wanna sound rude but all those people saying Buffy wouldn't do this, I mean I'm pretty sure Joss Whedon, the person that created Buffy and all the other characters would know more about what these characters would do before we would, as their his creation. So sure we may not have had Buffy had sex with Satsu, but we're not Joss.

That actually is a really good point! I didn't even think of that. Thanks.
I would think 1) and 5)
Cos joss has pretty much said some awkwardness will follow and 5) because Buffy warned the girl that it was a dangerous business to love her.
 
Are you sure Satsu will die? I mean, I haven't read the comic, only the spoilers so I'm clueless but to me it doesn't seem likely that Joss would kill off another Lesbian character. I remember when Tara died how upset fans were ans saying stuff about how that was so lesbian cliché so why would he do that again?


And to answer the question above: 1) 2) 3) or 7)

Good point. Maybe there's hope for her yet. On the other hand. Kennedy is a lesbian too and she doesn't seem to be in any risk of dieing, so maybe that's enough for the big J-dog.
I am praying to the comic book god (aka Joss) that they will have a relationship. What can I say?
Also, if they do kill Satsu, it's going to piss off a LOT of gay/bisexual Buffy fans, including myself. Will I stop reading? Hell no, but it will be one more notch on the belt of the evil/dead lesbian clichee. Please let's not repeat that again.

I'm not sure if the Buffyverse should become a place where lesbians become immortal as a result of the pressures of political correctness either.

How about this then? Satsu gives up on Buffy. She runs off with Kennedy.

7 Years with this slayer and I think we all have some insight into who they are.

Joss Whedon created Buffy? Naw. Get out of here! Who knew?!
 
Oh the spark of hope for Faith and Buffy 😉 And you all said it was impossible, "Faith maybe, but Buffy.. never.." 😛 I like the twist

Still I haven't grown to love the new characters introduced in the comic so I don't love them... but I don't want Satsu to die because she got together with Buffy...

I opened it up and was "Wow" Love that she was open to it. lol And they were so cute together when they were talking about it in bed.

But after such an eye opening, beautiful experience *bang* everyone see's em and now Buffy must feel so horrible and upset and might never do anything like this again. :cry:

Would have loved to see this on t.v. though :/ Would like to see everything on t.v. instead of comics but that isn't a different topic 😛
 
Got to say I enjoyed the issue, but it still just doesn't sit right with me. But I'm still interested to see where it's going.

Buffy seems so different to when we left off that it's jarring to some of us. Not just that she's willing to experiment, but also doing other stuff like robbing banks, willing to kill people possibly.. and I just don't get her like I used to. In that way I can see where Willow is coming from, apart from blaming Buffy for Tara's death.

Also don't see Satsu dying, but don't see her in a relationship with Buffy either after what Joss and Allie have said. And thank goddess because I wouldn't really buy that either at this point. I never really felt the so called 'tension' between Buffy and Faith.. at least not from Buffy's side.
 
The whole thing might just work out better since everybody knows, though. If there are any more developments in the Satsu/Buffy relationship, at least they won't have to be so sneaky about it, and since this current arc seems headed for Japan, the likelihood for repeat performances are better than even, what with Buffy and Satsu probably spending a lot more time together, probably a lot of it alone one way or the other.

As for the gang, who's gonna object? Certainly not Willow, and most likely not Xander. He would probably be quite understanding since his tirade in Season 7 (remember, "Okay, that's it! I'm going gay. C'mon, Willow, Gay me up. Let's gay,"?) Giles isn't around anymore, and Andrew...well, he's Andrew. That says it all.

Didn't get to finish my comment. 😛 Was going to say that it seemed like Willow was the one with the biggest problem. The look on her face and 'Believe me - Nothing makes sense to me tonight.'
