Stefan tackles criticism of Dollhouse, a brave series he argues is unfairly maligned in Joss Whedon's body of work...
Joss Whedon, it’s fair to say, is not short of fans. Between Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, Cabin in the Woods, Dr Horrible, and latterly his work with Marvel (not to mention his adaptation of a play by that little-known writer Will Shakesman), he has an enviable back catalogue, and Whedonites (as I promise not to refer to them again after this sentence) rank among the most devoted, rabid and occasionally frightening fans in geekdom. If you want an idea of just how passionate people are about the man’s work, write the phrase “I am a leaf on the wind” in any comment thread below a Whedon-related article, and hang on to something. Said thread may experience some slight turbulence and then explode.

Who Will Joss Whedon Kill Off In Avengers: Age Of Ultron? Joss Whedon has certainly earned the moniker, TV's Grim Reaper. Let's take a quick moment to look back at some of his more notable deaths. From Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Buffy Summers, Jenny Calendar, Angel, Joyce Summers, Tara Maclay, Anya, and Spike. From Angel: Doyle, Darla, Cordelia Chase, Winifred “Fred” Burkle and Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. Then there is Penny from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along, Dollhouse's Paul Ballard and Bennett Halverson, and Shepherd Book and Hoban “Wash” Washburne from the Firefly film, Serenity. Heck, even during Joss's Astonishing X-Men run he trapped his favorite character, Kitty Pryde, in a large alien bullet that was hurtling toward Earth. Heroically, Kitty was able to phase the bullet through the planet, but with no way of maneuvering the object she was left to float off into the dark abyss of space.
