shadowkatAnyone who still finds Whedons' works interesting and is interested in how the author sees his own works and what his intent may or may not have been in them - with some really interesting questions regarding philosophy and religion - go here:
http://forum.wgbh.org/lecture/joss-whedon-cultural-humanist
Warning it's a bit long. But fascinating.
Also a couple of teasers:
Great throw-away line, which only Whedon can do:
It's in response to several questions he's gotten over the hour, which he clearly thinks the answers to are obvious, but is politely not saying os. And he knows time is short so he covers all of them.
"DVR, River, She loves Spike...or occassionally Satsu, and yes the first is incompetent."
(People asked how he wanted us to watch, and who would win in a fight, Buffy or River. Along with the other two questions obviously.)
He also answers questions regarding whether Angel and Angelus are meant to be one entity or two, and if two separate entities how does that address the redemption issue. Whether Fred's soul was completely destroyed and why.
What is meant by redemption. Oh and he was asked a very interesting question about the difference between telling a story and didactism. Or using a story to moralize or give a speech on a topic.
