[btvs] no, really!

cathexys is looking for the source for the Joss comment that he wasn't sure whether Xander or Willow would be gay. I *suspect* it was on the old Bronze board or maybe during the post-Tara's death wank, but beyond that - and the extra-textual influence of Seth leaving - I can't help.

su_herald, katemonkey, liz_marcs, or dolores? Help? Answers here in this post or over here would be great,

see, that's what i was beginning to wonder to after several google searches and asking some of the Buffy afficionados I know.

OK...digging out my DVDs...which ep would that be...is this the first time around (he does come back to visit later, right?) It's been too long...

There isn't commentary on NMR, so it would have to be "Wild At Heart."

I have to say, I don't remember hearing Joss say that, and I've listened to that commentary a couple of times. I've always just heard the story as unsourced rumor: "Joss said somewhere that . . ."

But I could be misremembering the commentary, of course.

I just listened to all of Wild at Heart and while there's a near obsession with talk about Willow being gay, I didn't hear the Xander thing either.

And yes, just realized NMR doesn't have a commentary at all. *sigh*

I'm figuring I'll have to find another example and just use the Joss rumor one as an example of how fans debate canonicity and subtext (I really wanted to make a statement about the text itself)

Thank you!
