I'm enjoying the thought balloons - because it allows me more insight into Buffy, who became very hard to read in the latter seasons. Also insight into Giles. Xander - note - we don't get as many on, because he's more or less an open-book.
You are absolutely right about Whedon. Whedon's only interested in the love life to the extent that it provides him with a means of exploring character relationships and psychological issues, not to mention key plot points. Outside of that? Not so much. I honestly don't see him giving us a response on the will she/won't she - because doing so would unfortunately piss off half his fanbase. Damn those B/A shippers - they just can't let go. (Just joking - I think I may be the only one who actually reads the letters page in the comics, and there's always seems to be at least one letter from a B/A shipper. None from B/S or B/X or B/? shippers but B/A? Always.)
