Loved the returns of Ghost!Anya and Olivia (had to check her name) for the repercussions they may have over Xander and Giles (will we get to see Ripper!Giles?). Awesome issue!

this issue was incredible for me. It is Joss though, after all, so I'm curious to see how the next issue will begin... it can't be all butterflies and rainbows.

I did struggle with super powered Andrew. I love his saying he was gay but I couldn't shake the feeling that his super poweredness was not right in those scenes. He drank the potion so I'm guessing that his perception was skewed or ...he's really super Andrew. It left me unsettled.
I'd like to keep stalker dude from speed dating. He knew his mythology. Let's add him to the Scoobs.

My reaction to the issue was mixed.
To start with the elephant in the room.The devlopments on the Buffy/Spike front.As most already know,not thrilled with this.With that said,I will try to wait to see where this goes and also try not to pre-judge.I do realize that this is only issue 11 of a 30 issue series and it's not fair to the creative team to make a final decision on a storyline when it's just at the beginning.Who knows how things will ultimately play out.So I will try to stay in the wait and see mode right now.
As other's suspect,I expect Spike to reject/push Buffy away at the beginning of next issue.I really don't want to read a season of Buffy chasing after Spike trying to prove to Spike that she wants to be with him.Like I said,I'll wait to see where this goes because who knows if that's what is going to play out.As others are guessing I'm also figuring that this is where Dylan may come into play.
I will say that after reading the issue that this feels like shades of season 8 where Buffy became interested in Xander IMO right now.Also Dawn and Willow's talk with Buffy about it also feels like a repeat of Buffy's talk with Xander in season 5 about Riley in the episode,"Into The Woods."
Moving on.I feel so bad for Giles in this issue.And this is a plot I think I can see getting really invested in.Giles is in a terrible spot.The body of a kid and the mind of a middle age man and it seems these too things are in conflict with each other and are creating a chaotic situation for the poor guy.Olivia is right that she can't be expected that she can be with someone physically 12 years old.That no sane woman could IMO.But Giles also has the point that how can he be with someone in his actual physical age range.As Giles points out,he would feel just as creepy dating someone at that age.This is a horrible place Giles is in and I'm really interested in seeing how this story plays out.
On the Willow/Aluwyn front.I don't have much of opinion.I see Willow's concerns.Aluwyn is a shady character and I would be leery about trusting her.
The Xander/Dawn thing I'm more invested in.I actually grew to like their pairing over season 8 and 9.But like with Giles,they are in a pretty crummy situation.I agree with Dawn though that Xander is trying too hard.
Also interesting getting ghost Anya's view things.And I guess this issue gives more weight to Anya being more then just in Xander's head given how the cats reacted.
Don't have any real opinion about Andrew being gay.He's a character that I'm usually not interested in anyway and find annoying most times(He does have his moments though).
I did think the opening of the issue that was previewed was very funny still.
I also liked Megan Leven's art in the issue too.I think it fits Buffy although I will be glad when RI is back.
So those are my thoughts on Buffy # 11.

It's BDSM, not B&D and S&M, as that vampire should know if he's in the scene. (I'm not, but my sister is.) The kitten episode was cute, but I don't see how people who eat meat should begrudge demons eating kittens.
I loved the last scene, and I wish Spuffy could have some time together before something bad happens.
