>> It's good to know I'm not the only one peeved about continuity issues. <<
Agreed.
>> It's one of the major reasons I'm huffing at Whedon right now. I know he's not the end-all controller of it, right, but... <<
For me it pinches more with Whedon, because we know he CAN write wicked good continuity.
One of the things on my list of Things To Do With Entirely Too Much Money would be subsidize an entire Whedon series. Here, have a jillion bucks. Shoot your TV show. Put the whole damn thing in the can. THEN we will run it, and it will not get fucking canceled, because it will be ALREADY DONE. Hollywood, suck it.
>> it just feels lacking, looking at it through almost two years of dissection and fans poking at it and finding Semitruck passageways in the plot. <<
Agreed.
>> If you're going to write something this massive, wouldn't you make it tighter? Anyone who cared about it overall, I think, would. <<
Ideally, yes. But they, like fanwriters, are dealing with a gallimaufry mess of canon. They just haven't done a good job of picking and choosing bits that work well together.
>> When fanfiction is tighter than what makes millions at the box office... (not to diss fanfiction, certainly not ysabet's)- I think we need to storm Hollywood and show them how to do it. <<
*chuckle* I have observed with great glee the evolution of fanfic over the past few decades, as it has overtaken official canon both in literature and film with regards to nuance and impact.
>> Who's with me? <<
Well, I got sick of flimy whitewashed TV and made The Blueshift Troupers. If anybody makes flix, or otherwise wants to play with it, it's an open source fandom.
