And let's face it, Whedon's never exactly been the best of plotters. He plots like daytime soap writers and well Marvel comics writers...which is incredibly loosely. (hate to say this - but I think Guza on General Hospital is a better plotter - which is saying a lot.) Retconning things to make it work.
Oh wow.
Doesn't Guza plotting work along the lines of "Oh shit, it's sweeps! Quick, have Luke catch a monkey virus! Holly can show up having gone bad for no reason and announce she's had a previously unknown child 20 years ago. Oh, had someone check to see whether we have still have any Quartermaines wandering around that we can casually kill off. Also, be sure to pencil in time for some Sonny or Jason man-pain..."
Admittedly curious to see what if anything Whedon pulls out of his hat for 40
I'm still rooting for Rahirah's and my idea of a 80s rock power ballad montage of emo... in print.
