Eh. That's typical Joss for you. It doesn't go the way you think it will, not even the clever ones you've thought up. Damn.

I'm getting the impression this Joss fellow is as much of a bastard as Kripke is? Interesting...

anniehow July 19 2008, 13:12:39 UTC

Joss defined "bastard" before Kripke came along... In fact, this is a classic case of being Jossed (surely you've heard of it?). In retrospect it's so obvious! Typical hero/villain backstory, death of the one true love, innit?

caffienekitty July 19 2008, 19:25:59 UTC

I'd heard the term but never experienced it firsthand before. Definitely a typical backstory.

I just got a chance to watch part 2 and 3 and recalled you meta'd and came to read. Of course, your meta is wonderful and I never even thought of it that way so I must be the dense one. Heehee. And wow, depressing ending much? I was not obsessed with the Buffyverse while it was in its heyday but I did watch itat the end so I knew about "being Joss'd" and that seemed like a typical ending but I still didn't like it. I pray Kripke has more pity on us for the *sniff* "end" of SPN someday.

Kripke damn well better. It's absolutely possible to go out in a blaze of glory and still drive off together into the sunset without driving off a cliff or some such. :-P

I want there to be a part two to Dr. Horrible where everything gets fixed.

Ohhhh yes the man is a bastard. I did know that from watching Buffy and Angel..but still. Grrr. There damn well better be a sequel! Stringing up sounds pretty good to me;)

Aside from watching Serenity, I really haven't watched any of his other stuff, so yeah. This was a crash course in 'Joss Whedon is a bastard'. And yes. Stringing up by the ears until he writes the second half. Or a series. *nods*

Joss really likes to make it HURT. I shouldn't have been surprised, after various painful happenings on Buffy & Angel, not to mention what he did in Serenity, but he did catch me off guard. Poor Dr. Horrible.

Re: Bastard--not the sword caffienekitty July 21 2008, 01:21:46 UTC

Sort of the 'steal your heart then rip it to itty bitty bits and jump on them then set them on fire' thing. Yeah.

Naw, I was just following the strike really close so the parallels jumped out at me. Also, I could be completely wrong.

Yep, and Supernatural only gets 16 episodes in season 3. *nods*
