Oh, and I also hold that Joss Whedon is a no-talent hack who coudn’t write his way out of a paper bag.

Really? Literally? Or do you just think he’s overrated?

I have always liked America’s \*Horse with No Name \* and it’s one of the few songs I can play on the guitar. When it comes on the radio, I turn the radio up.

Ok, I suppose I have to admit that Whedon isn’t quite totally talent-free. But he’s a hack, overrated in the extreme. The death of Buffy’s mom episode was utter tripe. And since Piers Anthony has been mentioned in this thread, he is a far, far better writer than Whedon, with more imagination than Whedon could ever dream of.
