My only real interest in #35 is how Joss, Allie and company are going to mitigate Angel's actions as they always do in BTVS storylines. So while it may look like he was behind the deaths of hundreds of people, as Allie says, that's not the deal. The issue will no doubt spend much time on this and none on Buffy's behavior or how the Slayer spell making Buffy super-duper equation doesn't balance out.
It's not Angel, it's Angelus. So he said he wasn't, that's just the type of thing Angelus would say! He does call her Buff, something only he did. Gets him out of it by using the age-old souled/unsouled trope.
He's been glowhypnoled too. Possible, but I don't think this is it because I think this is the betrayal mentioned way back in issue #10, which ties into the Always Darkest comic because the Caleb-Spangel scene takes place in the same venue, Buffy wears the same clothes in both and has the same injuries. I don't think they'll go with the spell route for him as Buffy has to be all gut-wrenched and betrayed.
It's a dream. The leaked Chen cover might suggest that and it would explain the sheer freaking stupidity of that sentient universe shit. But like with the last one, Buffy's got to be all betrayed, so no-go there as much as I would like.
It's not Angel or Angelus, but something inhabiting Angel's body, Cordy-style.
It really was him and if fans don't get that he was right to do it, then the fans are dumb. I wouldn't put this past them.
