All these things are really bad. I tried to rewatch 'the best of' Buffy a couple of years ago, and could barely make it through one episode. I wish I watched something else as a child.

Buffy isn't for an adult mind imo.
Never liked it, I watched about 10-20 minutes of one episode, one where the world was going to end in about an hour or whatever, and the red haired one from How I met your Mother was complaining that she didn't have a date that night.
I can see how it was popular at the time with 90s kids and young adults.

Help, I've turned into a manifestation of mental disorders as viewed through an early 20th century lens sparked by the disparity between man and modern society and I can't get up

I also gave your mom the gift of not being alive for the majority of your writing career.

I'm betting the tweet was about something Trump said right? What kind of witty gold did he tweet out on election night?

The worst thing about Whedon are all the people that trip over themselves to let you know they don't like his work. Also known as the Lena Dunham effect.

No, Buffy and Angel both have amazing episodes, and the bulk of his work is definitely good, overall.

Whedon power rankings:

1. Dr Horrible
2. Firefly (only like 1 bad episode, the one with the hookers)
3. Buffy (only like 1 or 2 bad seasons, mostly great)
4. Angel (more hit or miss, but the hits are amazing, like the puppet episode)
5. Avengers 1
6. Dollhouse (mostly misses, but the Epitaph 1/2 eps were great)
7. Avengers 2

These things are all extremely bad. HTH.

Whedon wrote the screenplays for Toy Story and Titan AE

He got a writing credit for the part of the script in like 1992 when Woody was a homicidal sociopath. Everything he wrote got incinerated in the final draft because he sucks.

I did like Firefly though.

Wouldn't surprise me if it gets a spin off on Netflix eventually. I'm actually kind of surprised it hasn't happened already. There's got to be some right-holding mess preventing it from happening.

Can we agree there are plenty of great sci-fy with some that aren't even set in space and that hardcore fans have a tendency to ruin the shows to new comers due to their evangelical zeal?

Joss has a pretty good record but he seems to do the best work under some of external restrain or adversity. He isn't that great if not terrible when given what is a near infinite budget as it lets the worse of him come through. Dollhouse sucked hard and LOL buffy with it's teenage BS.

Please enjoy what has to be one of the golden age of TV where can watch what you want, anywhere, any time, regardless of year of broadcast, on just about any device that can play video with recommendations tailored to your preferences.


Given this is one of the worse time-lines I can see what he is getting at.

It actually doesn't take that much willpower. I gradually used twitter less and less over the past year or so. I had basically quit informally so a few months back I went on one last time, said goodbye to my followers and told them if anyone wants to stay in touch, here's my Facebook and instagram.

It wasn't always that bad, but eventually it got to the point where someone was outraged about something new, stupid and meaningless every goddamn day and retweeted concentrated negativity at all times. I'm still kind of brain damaged by that trash heap but at least I'm not miserable every goddamn day.

...And this was all before Trump got elected. Yeah. Now that he's in the White House I'm definitely never using twitter again.

nope

serious post, they're *exactly* like the fundie baptists I grew up with

circular logic:
- god answering prayers is proof, god not answering prayers is a test of your faith
- women feeling oppressed is proof, women not feeling oppressed is self oppression
check

double standards:
- when you do a bad thing it's satan, when I do I'm forgiven
- when you do a bad thing it's oppressive patriarchy, when I do it's striking back
check

I could go on

but that would be even more boring
