10 Weirdest Storylines In The Whedonverse
8. The Buffybot Gets Knocked Up - Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 8
Well, one of them does, anyway. Its kind of hard to keep track of quite how many there are these days. Toward the start of the comics-only continuation Season 9, Buffy has a few too many at a house party and ends up blacking out shortly before missing her period and coming to the conclusion that shes pregnant. What follows are a couple of issues detailing her indecision over whether to keep the child or not, the result of which would have been a bold statement to make in comics and popular fiction in generalexcept that decision is taken completely out of her hands by the storys conclusion.
Which iswell, the title kind of gives it away, doesnt it? It turns out that Buffy missed her period because she was actually inhabiting the body of one of the Buffybots Warren Mears invented and his old friend/former villainous counterpart Andrew still keeps on hand for those times when he needs to drug Buffy at a party and switch her minds with an automaton to keep her safe.
At least his heart was in the right place, eh?
