Joss, Joss, Joss...

[shipperx]

I'll discuss more when I can be more charitable.  But really, Joss Whedon discussing latter season Buffyverse is like waving a red flag in front of me.  He doesn't get it.  He'll never get it.  And it still makes me insanely frustrated when I see just how much he doesn't get it.

And    a Fray-ish thing if there's a Spike movie?  Thanks for telling us Spike will be sent to hell, Joss.  Really appreciate that.

And thanks one more time for telling me how you couldn't kill anyone but Spike and Anya and have a happy ending... all without realizing how toolish that makes the Scummies.

He's a kid in a classroom poking people in their backs waiting for a reaction and when the poked person turns around and smacks him in the head, he got what he wanted and thinks that he really accomplished something.)

I forgot to call this line out in my above reply - really good observation. There's a disturbing neediness in the Class Clown act that came through sometimes in Xander - there's more than a little hostility in it, which also explains a lot of the feminism-that-isn't, frankly. You don't get the response you want, so obviously there's something wrong with the audience. Those bitches.

This isn't me psychoanalyzing Joss, just calling out what I keep seeing pressing up against the glass in his work. If it's not what he intends... then dude, he needs to work on that.
