I haven't actually read it yet because my Buffy-crack provider is apparently heinously slow compared to all other comic retailers both offline and online (I subscribe through TFAW.com, saves hassle), thus I havn't received issue #12 yet.
But I have heard about said WTF-ery and I'm right there with you. Honestly, if Joss wanted Buffy to hop in the sack with a woman, the least he could've done was have it be with either Faith, as that subtext has been waiting to become official text for years, or Willow, the established lesbian character. It would still be WTF since Buffy has never outwardly expressed a sexual desire for women, but at least it wouldn't be with some one-off newbie who happens to have a crush on Buffy. And considering this sudden angsty-ness between Willow and Buffy (that SO wasn't there when the show ended, but whatever) having those two jump in the sack would almost make sense.
But okay. We've got newbie Satsu that we know nothing about other than she's a lesbian slayer who's in love with Buffy. Okay, Joss. Whatever.
