Hilarious episode. Thank you, Jane. (Except for the dead Jonathan... Could have gone without seeing that, which hit me in the stomach square.) More about this episode later.

Repost from February 5th, my two cents about Andrew:

At first, Andrew wanted to fit in, be a part of the group, take over
Sunnydale (at Warren's suggestion) and have friends. I do not think Andrew's
initial goal was to attract the attention of Warren in a romantic way. Also,
we heard multiple references to Andrew checking out ladies, especially
celebrities.

As the season progressed, it was made clear that Warren was the leader and
that Andrew and Jonathan were lower on the totem pole. Andrew became more
and more in awe of Warren, and at the close of the season, the subtext was
played up. (Though IMHO it was more text than sub when compared to, say,
Faith and Buffy subtext in Season 3.)

People can be attracted to someone of the same gender in a non-romantic way.
Placing someone on such a high pedestal is dangerous, for what happens to
both you and the object when he/she falls? It may be passing, it may be
temporary, it may be all well and good, or it could advance to scary stalker
status.

Reaching that level of idolization, admiration, and in some cases, worship,
can at times seem like love. It may or may not be love. It may or may not
make someone wonder about their sexuality, should the object of their
attention/affection be of the gender to which that person is not normally
attracted.

You can also admire someone, even revere them, without - for lack of a
better phrase - being in romantic love with them. I have heard people go on
and on about someone and, if you just heard the compliments and the rambles
out of context without knowing the two were platonic friends or whatnot, you
would swear person one was in love with person two. It also may be your
adoration of a person that leads you to revelations about yourself and who
you love.

It not only goes both ways, but any number of ways. Andrew may be gay, may
be straight with a specific love or admiration for Warren, may be
questioning, may be bisexual, may have been in the closet until finding
Warren, may be confusing his need for Warren's attention with love - any
number of things. I could go on for days about what is going on in Andrew's
brain. A psychologist would have a fieldday with him. I personally wonder
what Andrew's relationship with his father is, for example.

With the explanation, speculation and dissertation complete, I now present
you with reminders about what Andrew said or did throughout Season Six, with
quotes directly from episodes thanks to The Buffy Dialogue Database.

From FLOODED -

ANDREW: Don't trust him. Robo-pimp daddy's all mouth.
WARREN: Shut up, Andrew! You're just mad I wouldn't build you Christina
Ricci.
ANDREW: You owe me, man.
WARREN: Oh, or else what? You'll train another pack of devil-dogs to ruin my
prom? Ha! Graduated!
ANDREW: That wasn't me! How many times do I have to say it? The prom thing
was my lame-o brother, Tucker.

From LIFE SERIAL -

ANDREW: Scully wants me so bad.

From LIFE SERIAL -

JONATHAN: Guys, I'm ready. I need you to hold hands.
ANDREW: With each other?
WARREN: Well, you know what homophobia really means about you, don't you?

From GONE -

ANDREW: But we had so many plans. Naked women, and all ... well, all-all the
naked women.

From DEAD THINGS -

ANDREW: We can really have anyone we want.
JONATHAN: It's like candy.
ANDREW: Juicy, pulsating candy.
JONATHAN: Oh! Oh, the one with the neck! Put the whammy on the neck!
ANDREW: No! The redhead! I want the redhead!
JONATHAN: The redhead's too tall.
ANDREW: So get a step ladder. No, no, ow!
ANDREW: Get off of me!
JONATHAN: Take it back!
WARREN: Target acquired.
JONATHAN: What?
WARREN: Initiating contact.
JONATHAN: The brunette?
ANDREW: Oh, she's kinda cute -- Ow! Oh, no, go for the leather skirt! Oh,
bazoombas!
ANDREW: Go for the one with the bazoombas!
JONATHAN: Yeah, go for the one with the bazoombas.
ANDREW and JONATHAN, chanting: Bazoombas, bazoombas, bazoombas...

From DEAD THINGS -

ANDREW: Yeah, she's ... really cute.
WARREN: Cute? Look at her, man! The shape of her lips. The smooth, silky
skin. The way her nose- the way her nose crinkles when she laughs... She's
perfect.
JONATHAN: Yeah.
ANDREW: She's totally hot.
KATRINA: So are you, Master.
ANDREW: You think so?
KATRINA: Oh yes, Master.
JONATHAN: Okay ... so ... how do we ... you know.
ANDREW: Who gets to...
WARREN: I do.
ANDREW: That's not fair.
JONATHAN: Dude, you didn't call it.
WARREN: Oh, I don't have to call it, Sparky. She's mine. But don't worry.
You can play with her all you want ... after I'm done with her.


From ENTROPY -

WARREN: Is that --
JONATHAN: Spike.
ANDREW: He is *so* cool... And, I mean, the girl is hot too.
WARREN: Dude!

From SEEING RED -

JONATHAN: Jet packs. You jerks were setting me up to take the fall.
ANDREW: He left me. He flew away and left me!
JONATHAN: Oh god. The Big House.
ANDREW: How could he do this to me? He promised we'd be together. He was
just using me. He never really loved -- hanging out with us. You think he'll
come back for us? I mean, he wouldn't just take off. Would he?

From VILLAINS -

JONATHAN: And neither does your partner in crime, Warren.
ANDREW: Don't say that. What do you mean, my partner in crime? We're in this
together-
JONATHAN: What do you mean - what do I mean? You two were totally going to
fly off and leave me holding the bag-
ANDREW: We weren't! I was going to carry you.
JONATHAN: No, you two were setting me up, and then Warren was going to screw
you over too.
ANDREW: That is so not true!
JONATHAN: Sure. He's a nice murderer who keeps his word.
ANDREW: You're wrong. He's coming for us. He's out there right now, devising
a brilliant way to get us out of here.

From TWO TO GO -

ANDREW: Laugh it up, Fuzzball. I figured it out. Warren never abandoned us.
Well, not me, anyway. This is like his test. If we can figure out how he's
communicating with us, then we'll be, you know, worthy.
JONATHAN: You're checking for implants?
ANDREW: Lex Luthor had a false epidermis escape kit in Superman versus the
Amazing Spider-Man Treasury edition ...
JONATHAN: Okay, first of all, those were sonic disrupters and second of all
...you are sadness personified. Waiting for Warren? Yeah, maybe he'll come
bust us out of here on Santa's magic sleigh.
ANDREW: I'm telling him you said that.
JONATHAN: Why wait - I'll tell him right now. Hey, Warren, do you read me?
Your girlfriend's pathetic, over.
ANDREW: Shut up, Jerk-athan! You see this? This is why *we* get the jet
packs and all *you* get is left behind.
JONATHAN: So you admit it.
ANDREW: Why not? You were out of the Trio a long time ago, in a galaxy far,
far away and you wanna know why, little feller? No respect for the chain of
command.

Welcome to the group, new folks.
