Just wondering.

These last few weeks lots of people wrote to Scott Allie (and awesome letters they were too), so I was wondering - has anyone written to him about #34 and told him that now we're caught between going 'wtf?' ('cause NONE of it makes sense) and laughing our heads off, because the 'porn' is fugly as hell and so tame it could probably go on ff.net?

ETA: Oh - and how is Joss reconciling this 'canon' thing he keeps talking about with the very clear re-boot he's performed? If you're going to change the whole mythology, at least be upfront about it. Or maybe he conveniently *forgot* seven years worth of continuity... Wouldn't put it past him to be honest.

Not sure why I'm writing this. Mostly I think that this whole sorry affair should be renamed The Emperor's New Clothes. Except clearly 'Tee-hee, look they're naked' is what they're now going for... Hm. A better name would probably be 'Buffy: The Porn Star Years'. 'Cause nothing says female empowerment like taking off your clothes! (The more I think about it, the more it bothers me. Of course the art is too ugly for words, but the objectification is deeply unpleasant. I don't care that it might be 'subversive' - it's still *there*. Also, I love my mood theme. Go Ianto!)


Re. why Joss is writing this, then [livejournal.com profile] paratti has the best theory so far.

*grin* You're welcome! I'm also waiting for him to explain why he thinks that vampire bats live in Texas and eat mosquitoes.

(That's about three-quarters down the page, under the picture of GiantForeheadGiles and a bat with glowing red zombie eyeballs.)

Hey, there have been vampire bats found two hundred miles south of Texas! It's ALMOST Texas!

LMAO! And, and one of them scratched a mosquito bite once, so that's ALMOST like he ate it!

Haven;t you seen Harmony's show? Vampires are everywhere these days!

Maybe they;re going in for a healthier diet. Less cholesterol. :-P
