[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8516673, member: 50987"] Elsewhere, I said that I wasn't going to start a thread about the recent interview from Joss Whedon. But it seems like at least a few folks have something to say about it, so I made a liar out of myself. And fair enough; Joss Whedon is (among other things) an icon of Geek Media.
