Meandering Musings

Yeah I know what you mean. I mean early menopause? Really?

From:

Are they trying to relate it back to the pregnancy scare/not really a pregnancy scare? Or are the fanboys assuming that menopause would be a punishment for Buffy not settling down to do "feminine" pursuits, like getting married *cough*to-average-joe-beta-male-Xander(who is totally not supposed to be a stand-in for themselves)*cough*, having children, and being barefoot in the kitchen?

From:

God only knows. Every theory seems more insane and distasteful from the last. I bet DH are just eating this up.

I'm sure they are. Scott Allie truly believes in negative attention being the best thing for DH, which is a shame. They used to be indie, used to be innovative, and now they're just this sad, tired entity that would rather release twelve issues of a crap series, drop it, and then just release another crap series right after (rinse, lather, audience vomits, repeat), than actually producing quality material. I mean, Hellboy was all they had going for them, and now they're even screwing that up. It's really a damned shame, but I wish they'd just drop out of sight and just let IDW step up (their Lock & Key and Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse series are just great). But IDW would just fall into the same trappings too. The only ones that get away from it are the Big Two- Marvel and DC- and that's just because they can afford to have a zillion titles, so if one fails, it's not as big of a deal. Sigh. I miss enjoying comics. *re-reads Spike: Asylum for the quadrillionth time).

From:

Beats me what they thought process is, but that's now found its way into the discussion.

Fanboys have heard of menopause?

From:

They probably have it confused with some breed of Dinosaur. *g*

From:

Heh. Apparently.

....what?

I am torn right now between I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW and actually wondering how in the hell they came up with that...

From:

Oh god, how do they come up with half of it these days. *g*

Clearly Slaying uses up all of your Female Power, which would normally be used to have children, so...

I know nothing beyond what I'm reading in this post, lol, but I'm going with it.

...

Onset menopause in your mid-twenties? That's one helluva game changer.

From:

Dear god yes! *g*

From:

I know!

I mean, WTF.

And I would question the obsession with her reproduction system... but then Whedon keeps using those metaphors so...

What's the new theory?

I've seen some interesting ones lately. One of which I think is more than plausible. Not good, certainly plausible.

From:

Early menopause.

Soooo glad I never got into those

From:

They are only of interest for the WTF.

From:

I stick to my theory of S8 and S9 are just the fantasy of an autistic child looking into a BtVS snowglobe.

From:

So...St. Elsewhere?

From:

Exactly! Much preferable to be St. Elsewhere than St. Elsehere in the Jossverse. XD

Because each issue of the comics is more disturbing than the last one?
