Part three is up. I'm curious what you all thought of it. 

Joss has reaffirmed my opinion of him with the ending, which is not a good thing.  Sigh.

I didn't know he wrote Toy Story! Well...that certainly explains the angst-ish quality I started to feel when everyone talked about how they were the forgotten toys. But yeah, at least that had a happy ending. Had he written that now, Woody and the gang probably would have gotten sold off in some lawn sale and separated for the rest of their toy lives.

I just looked it up again to be sure and yes, he did the screenplay for it. One would hope, that as a kids movie, he'd have been able to stick to the happy ending, but we all know he wouldn't have if tptb let him get away with it.

His stuff's getting a little silly now. There is nothing wrong with a 'they all lived happily ever after' ending. Really

I feel like for awhile Whedon was the guy whose work you wanted to watch b/c he did angst very well. But then somewhere in the middle of Buffy and toward the end of Angel, it got to be like Angst Porn. I wouldn't say it started to get boring, but it was more like I started to wonder if Whedon secretly had begun to hate all his characters and wanted to make them suffer.

And you're right. A simple "Happily Ever After" wouldn't go unappreciated at this point.

Angst Porn That's perfect. It describes his stuff to a T.

I also wonder if it's his evil way of messing with fanfic writers. Altering canon and messing with things just so we pull our hair out

Hell, I object to that as a viewer, never mind a fic writer.

true, true. But there is a reason we now have the term "Jossed" isn't there? *grumbles* frustrating little so-and-so
