Meandering Musings

I agree with you. Joss's work is to be enjoyed for what it is, or not at all. Expecting his writing to be anything other than what it is, is a recipe for disappointment. I enjoy his strong points enough that his weak points don't bother me. If I didn't enjoy the ride, I certainly wouldn't stay on hoping it might change at some point. On the other hand, Neil Gaiman's work does nothing for me, and though I can appreciate the intricacies of his craft and understand why he is so well loved by others, I personally don't like the ride, and I certainly don't keep getting on it expecting it be somehow different the next time around. What's more, in my personal experience, most good writers do what they do, and they do whatever it is they do exceptionally well, but it's rare for them to be truly versatile.
