THANK YOU Joss!
This is one of the best things I've read in a long time:
It has to be said: the Andrew scene in "The Girl in Question" was a victim of me dropping the ball. I specifically said there should be a party of men AND women, all glamorous and Italian, waiting for Andrew. I wasn't there when it was shot, and didn't have the time/money/energy to change it after the fact, though it made me crazy.
Andrew's sexuality is always on the cusp of self-awareness because Andrew is stunted emotionally and because it's hilarious.
[Side-note: The "people change" thing is a hold-over from the fact that the scene was originally written for Dawn (but Michelle turned us down). The idea was, there's little Dawn, then in the last scene there's hot grown-up Dawn going out on the town, a heavy visual support of people changing (since Spike and Angel always see her as older brothers do). But Tommy made it his own, 'cause he's Tommy.]
Oh, and speaking of Tommy, re: Buckaroo? Perfect Tommy was probably gay. How the girls did squeal, but that wonderful matching shirt and vest? Yeah. One man's opinion.

As for Joss's TGIQ commentary, I never thought that Andrew leaving with 2 hot chicks meant he was straight. I figured that it meant he was still sexually confused, but at least now he was suave, confident and sexually confused.
After all, he had JUST had that uncomfortably long hug with Spike in "Damaged" and no one changes *that* quickly.

And yes: Spike was his idol...and that hug was rather long. (IIRC, Angel was smirking in that scene.)

Oh I wasn't talking about *Andrew*, but that Tommy guy. I definitely think that Andrew is gay! *nods firmly*
