Hee. I'm beginning to wonder if Allie or Jeanty understand the plot or story that Whedon has laid out?
I've wondered this a time or three myself. And then I think... does anyone?
He's writing the plot outlines for these things and little else - focusing on "thematic" and "big picture" arcs and not character drama??? That alone should give people pause. It's sort of like going to see Sarah Michelle Gellar sing cabret.
EXACTLY!
If you look at Whedon's 'plots' he generally does it 'connect the dots style.' 'This' happens at the beginning (foreshadowing the end) [then we have a bunch of other episodes] Sweeps! Better have a pivot point that sets up the big change! [then a bunch of other episodes] Feb sweeps! Bitter hit the Act Three transition. [then a bunch of episodes] Oh shit! It's time for the finale! Write something quick. Better yet, kill someone!
It often reminds me of that cartoon about calculus where they start with a formula and they get a result.
