Not Xander/Buffy things, but introspective, "why was I suddenly crushing on Xander? oh because I'm an emotionally unavailable ice queen who was never really close with any of my boyfriends and I mistook friendship intimacy for romantic intimacy because I'm disfunctional like that, but now I see I really love Xander as a friend, and when ____(fill in your preferred exes name here) comes around again I will be ready to act like an adult and open up! Gee, glad I never made a move on Xander, how embarrassing." (Cue flashback to the season 2 sexy dance--shudder.) <br />But then, I'm realistic and clearly those writing season 8 are...not always.she fell downhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332776303736370663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-262412015461580822009-10-02T14:31:17.098-04:002009-10-02T14:31:17.098-04:00I agree with Michael.

I really don't think it's that big of a leap.<br /><br />Also really sick of hearing the Xander/Dawn age difference gripes. It's not a big difference or a big deal at all.<br /><br />Bitsy's still dreamy though.

Plus, this storyline has been developing over the whole S8, with the two of them sharing moments and having good conversations and alltogether connecting. I get it.<br /><br />But X/B?? That's just a mess. If the writers are showing Xander acting on his feelings for Dawn, why the heck would they do that ambiguious holding hands-googly eyes scene? Just to mislead the reader? Whatever happened to consistency?? As for Buffy... The way I can explain this fluke to myself is this: girl feels lonely, girl shares a moment, girl's friend makes a typical girly note, girl convinces herself she has feelings for the only guy around.<br /><br />What are the hints on X/B that some of you have mentioned? I saw X/D coming looong time ago, but totally missed on anything X/B-related.Nataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163755231077423075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-12244181221362262832009-10-01T15:48:55.315-04:002009-10-01T15:48:55.315-04:00One more thing, I just don't get why it's ...One more thing, I just don't get why it's hard for people to get Buff having feelings for Xander. Doesn't mean that she always had them or that he might of always been in love with her. Shit happens. Some times you just see people in a different light. Happens all the time. Hell, it happened with Spike and Buffy...think Buff saw that coming when she was trying to kill him in season 2. Or like the moment Spike realized he had feelings for Buff, his most hated arch nemesisisis (heh).Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-91825968546693669592009-10-01T15:40:22.432-04:002009-10-01T15:40:22.432-04:00Also, despite what girls may think and guys may tr...Also, despite what girls may think and guys may try to hide, I'm of the opinion that 99% of straight men who are friends with straight pretty girls are always secretly or overtly harboring romantic feelings for said girl. Lots of guys I know use the friend angle hoping it will turn into more. And all or most said guys will say "we're just friends". yeah, right. Even if the guy knows it's not possible, the friend thing is a way to stay near said girl. I've been there myself. Modern "evolved" sensibilities have not changed this imo.

What's the acceptable norm ...half one's age plus 7, I think. Also the X man hasn't been that dork guy in a long long time. How many utter nerd construction foreman do you know?...or Nick Fury type army leaders for that matter. Geek is Andrew's realm these days. Frankly, I find it a little surprising that Xander and Buff haven't at least stumbled or bumbled into sleeping with each other once or twice. You know the adage about not seeing what's right in front of you etc.I mean it's way way weirder that she changed teams for a minute...character wise. And no surprise with Xander and Dawny...she's hot:) and always crushed on the X man.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-3141166080252839202009-10-01T01:12:37.638-04:002009-10-01T01:12:37.638-04:00While my dislike of Xander and love for Duckie mak...While my dislike of Xander and love for Duckie make me a bit hesitant to compare the two, I agree with your larger argument.<br /><br />Especially: "Sudden romantic feelings developing between Xander and Buffy are an insult to platonic friendships between men and women everywhere." It is so annoying that there always has to be romantic tension to every opposite sex relationship--so dumb.<br /><br />I also really liked this point: "Suddenly having Buffy interested in Xander is like telling comic book nerds everywhere 'Hey, keep harassing that chick to be with you because, eventually, when her life is completely in ruins, she'll give in'" Agreed. No means no.

A Buffy/Xander relationship makes no sense. Neither does a Xander/Dawn relationship. I like Xander, I really do, but as someone who has been in a similiar situation (no I'm not a life saving friend - but I have had the dorky guys go from crushing on me to being my best friends when they realized it was never gonna happen) I know that this would never happen! And as far as the Dawn relationship, ok I haven't read that far into season 8 yet but I had a feeling it was going to happen. I always felt like Xander saw her as a little sister and the fact that he used to babysit her makes it that much more wrong. For some reason it's putting thoughts of Tom Cruise & Katie in my mind.. maybe you have a crush on an adult as a child, but once you are grown up it is just icky to think about.. as is this story line.

But since I already glanced at Bitsy's post (just barely in fragments), I'll comment. If Xander gets with either Dawn or Buffy, I'll be very very pissed. It's like when that idiot Chris Carter, despite saying he'd never do it, made Mulder and Scully's relationship romantic. A Xander/Buffy/Dawn lovefest is borderline incestuous. It's just not right and is very counterintuitive. I'm definitely going to have to read season 8 soon to see what the hell is going on. As I see it, this is the problem with continuing a series ad infinitum. Writers start to stretch for ideas, and a subsequent warping of core material begins to occur. Next thing you know, the series is ruined. Happend to The X-Files, and it can happen to Buffy. Bog forbid. All this desperation for new material, in my opinion, began with the idiotic Potential Slayers, and now this? Damn it, anyway....Daltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-56094872048654511892009-09-30T15:13:13.109-04:002009-09-30T15:13:13.109-04:00True, Mike, but the subtext is that Buffy isn'...True, Mike, but the subtext is that Buffy isn't just upset about the Xander/Dawn development in a "hey, that's my sister!" kind of way. Scott Allie confirmed it during his last Q&A with Slay Alive and there's been not so subtle hints for a while now that Xander is still into Buffy during season eight which basically makes it seem like he's just being with Dawn because, hey, at least she's a Summers girl. I hate that as much as anything else.

He tired, he failed. And sure, he had some lingering feelings for Buffy while he was with Cordelia is season 2, but by season 3, he had moved on from it (to Willow!). He did the dirty with Faith, then he met Anya. While many didn't particularly like Anya, it was obvious that she deeply loved Xander, and Xander reciprocated her feelings. (Then he crushed her in season 6. Damn you season 6!). I feel that if Xander were to still be hung up on Buffy in season eight, it would cheapen all his previous relationships. I wouldn't be able to watch the show without thinking "Who cares what happens with Anya, he really wants Buffy anyway."<br /><br />In turn, Buffy, as you stated, never showed an ounce of romantic feelings for Xander in those seven seasons on television, apart from being under the love spell. Xander was her buddy, her friend. She cherished her friendship with him as much as she did with Willow's. To me, any kind of romantic feelings Buffy has for Xander in season eight are completely out of left field. Hell, Buffy dipping her toe in the lesbian pool was more believable to me than romantic-Xander feelings. Her apparent feelings for him in this season feels like the editors/writers are saying "Hey, it's natural for her to fall for him now, he's the only man in her current vicinity." It's the "last man on earth" kind of deal.Cool Hip [InyRules]https://www.blogger.com/profile/00146281488670910805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-45306000633479590232009-09-30T13:51:28.024-04:002009-09-30T13:51:28.024-04:00Yes.
