Even Kevin Williamson's Dawson's Creek house style is, in retrospect, much less annoying than Whedonism.

Yeah, I'm not out here trying to separate the art from the artist on whoever made Scrubs

Joss Whedon might be an abusive narcissist but at least he didn't foist Zach Braff upon the world?

it all just sucksi was a huge fan of every whedon show, esp buffy - for a while i even lurked on the messageboard they reference in the vulture piece now it’s like i can’t even rewatch an old episode of buffy without thinking of him & all of his bullshit. i dont always struggle separating art from artist but so much of him & his voice is in these shows that it’s almost impossible to even revisit them anymore and to be clear i’m not saying this in an “oh poor me” way - it’s more just, i’m fucking mad that he has ruined my enjoyment of these shows that i genuinely loved. and that i never knew he was actively ruining them the whole time

I had a class with the professor they mention in the article who started Whedon Studies. He wrote a book about Bukowski!

I can see that and it sucks indeed. I have less trouble with it myself as there were so many other people involved in the end products, especially the cast who also separate the art from the artist: see, for example, this which happened very recently. Several cast members -including Charisma Carpenter- fondly talking about the show and their characters.

Has managed to avoid the Whedon-stink more than Firefly for me, put it on today and skipped S1 still just pure fun.

SMG’s memorable smackdown of Whedon makes me retroactively like her performance a bit more
Realise I’ve never seen the second season - jumped on at S3 and never bothered with the first two
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 22 December 2022 14:49 (one year ago) link
second season probably has the best overall season arc, and by far the best spike scenes, but the episode-to-episode execution was the best in season 3
you should def watch season 2, is what i'm saying, but maybe start with the episode called "school hard"
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Thursday, 22 December 2022 14:56 (one year ago) link
Booo the first episode of season 2 is great, don’t miss it. Also I recommend Welcome To The Hellmouth, The Harvest, Angel, The Puppet Show and Prophecy Girl from Season 1, all quality TV.
