Joss Whedon is my Master now

I am in love with Joss Whedon's brain. If I could, I would love to pick on his brain sometime.His works are profound, female empowering, the characters he creates endears people, the lines he come up with are witty and smart-assed. This man is a genius.

I guess Big Bang Theory lovers would have heard of Firefly through Sheldon. (This man wrote in to Fox to beg them not to stop Firefly- supports-) Of course everyone has heard of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the 1990s, if you haven't, I have no idea what you are doing with your time. Next came the spin off, Angel. Other intellectually challenging shows like serenity and dollhouse. Oh and of course to add to his long line of credits we have the -oh-so-famous- AVENGERS that top the box office for 3 weeks straight. Yep, this guy is not losing his game at all.

Whedon often has the tendency to cast the same actors/ actresses over and over again, especially the females, thus the Whedon girls title. And these girls are pretty amazing by themselves.

Let's see, we have the picture perfect Summer Glau that got Howard and Rajesh fighting each other like little kids on the train (It's hot, must be Summer), the perpetually hot Eliza Dushku, the wonderfully sweet and endearing Amy Acker and my current craze Felicia Day. Is there anything this girl can't do?! Valedictorian, National Merit Scholar, Double Major in Mathematics and Music Performance, plays the violin professionally, creator of awesome web series, has a haunting voice, worked with Neil Patrick Harris, best friends with Alyson Hannigan. DAMN, God, Why you so unfair.

Let's not forget he boost Alyson Hannigan (awesome human being) to fame by casting her as one of my favourite characters of all time, Willow Rosenberg. While the title of the show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, let's face it, majority of us were seriously watching just because of Willow. I cry when she cries, I laugh when she laughs, scream when she screams. (Okay that is pushing it a little...) Without this, we wouldn't have Lily Aldrin in How I met your mother and Sandy Rivers. They should just have the whedon ladies and gentlemen (Especially Buffy and Angel stars) to guest star on HIMYM all the time. I am sure the creators of HIMYM will wet their pants. (They are huge fans) I know I will.


Another point about Joss Whedon's brillance, he is the pioneer of many unique forms of drama episodes, such as musical episode. (Once more with feelings,) that inspired other shows to do it too (Grey's Anatomy, House, How I met your mother -isn't it cool that he was there at the film set of HIMYM's musical episode! Aly invited him) and an episode that uses purely music and no dialogue. (Hush)


Yep, this man can create anything and I will just sit down and watch. ((:

How about a Buffy movie now Joss, pretty pleaseeeeee.
