I still plan to buy the series, but Lordy, that's not terribly encouraging. And i share the bemusement about the sex reference. Granted I doubt Joss wants to come right out and have Buffy say "I miss Spike," or "I miss Angel," because I don't think he has any intention of hooking her up with either of them ever again. But if that's the case, he could have just skipped the reference entirely, or (gasp horrors) had her think something substantive like "Ah, Spike and Angel - I've MOVED ON AND AM OVER THEM BOTH, YOU CRAZY SHIPPERS!"
