You really think Allie is a Whedon fanboy? Given how much of his work he doesn't seem to care very much for, I'm not sure I think that. I tend to think it's more Whedon=Money. 'Cause once it appears to the audience that Executive Produced by Joss Whedon is just a stamp, there goes sales. His name is the only thing selling it.
That's why, I think, as the sales continue to drop it seems more and more comes out that Joss isn't all that involved. New Spike and Willow series? Didn't even hire the writers; Allie did. Spike's involvement in the trunk issues were determined by sales, not because of any planned arc (hence why it's changed 3 times already). When the final arc of S8 was being written, Allie was very, very careful not to admit is was writing most of it...until Joss said he was co-writing it. Now there is no abashment. As sales continue to fall--and they're gonna--I wonder what new information will turn up about who did what.
