Thank you for writing this. I was waiting for your review of things to form an opinion on.
I will read the issue for myself, probably even give the last few S8 issues a glance but I think this has officially pushed me off my fence, I was sitting very wobbly lately anyway.
The story sounds monumentally lame, not thought through and boring, so there's nothing that salvages the thing here.
And the emotional stuff seems just wrong and what I used to love about Joss was that that particular stuff was what he was really good at. But this? Buffy becomes a person that I find shallow and horrible in this. It's not about her being in love or not, it's about her being a terrible friend and that's not how I want to keep her in mind.
Spike on his own is certainly interesting to me, but the story needs to be engaging too and this one isn't.
