By the end of the issue, Buffy comes to the conclusion that she cannot have a baby. The decision was so important for Buffy creator and Season 9 exec producer Joss Whedon, that he took time off from finishing his post-production directing duties on The Avengers to talk with EW about the issue. Did you always know that she would be getting an abortion, or did you ever contemplate the notion that she would keep the baby?
I think strongly that teen pregnancy and young people having babies when they are not emotionally, financially, or otherwise equipped to take care of them, is kind of glorified in our media right now.
I agree with Buffy. Yeah, I suppose. And obviously there will be complications to the whole storyline that could only happen in the Buffyverse. I know everything about it, but will tell you nothing. But I did want to ask about the way she got pregnant — at the party in the first issue of Buffy Season 9 , after Buffy became black-out drunk. He is on the loose again, and a danger to all remnants of magic!

I think one of the things we wanted to deal with with the pregnancy was that it's not so much the fact that she's a Slayer that dictates all the aspects of her life.
A lot of it is just uniquely who she is. That's why her decision about a child was different than Nikki's decision. Looking at the Malibu Barbie version of herself created this opportunity while I was writing this three-part story where Buffy experienced a sort of dissociative thing where she really thought of the other Buffy as a real person in ways that neither Andrew or Spike were comfortable with.
That was her weird coping mechanism. In trying to figure out what was happening, she thought this other Buffy was a fully fledged person. And she wasn't entirely. She wasn't someone else living a different life. The other girl is in fact Buffy, under this fake situation, so she shouldn't feel the need to compete with her.
But Buffy was so traumatized by the pregnancy scare, the abortion decision and the reality of the situation with the other Buffy that her perspective was heavily affected. Though speaking of the other Buffy and what exists within her, we get a moment in 8 where she breaks a spoon into a stake and has almost a moment of recognition.
Is that the muscle memory Andrew was talking about, or is there a bit more of Buffy lingering there? A little bit. There is some stuff in issues 9 and 10 where we deal more with the fact that this yuppie Buffy character has Slayer strength and some of that muscle memory, but she just doesn't know it.
That comes out in her at the right time, and Simone is able to bring that out in her when she wants to. Let's talk about Simone. She's a character whose story started at the very end of last season, and it's been interesting coming in to Season 9 because there hasn't yet been a clearly defined Big Bad so much as there's been a lot of somewhat interconnected but largely stand-alone stories dealing with the new shape of the world.
Is Simone a thread that starts to reveal the bigger arc of the season? The deal with Simone really dominates issues 8 through 10, and you're right. I do feel like issues 5, 6 and 7 each worked as kind of stand-alone stories. Register Don't have an account?
