And finally, wow. Am I SO impressed that, at least judging from the promo art, the final arc of Season 8 penned by JW himself revolves around riffing on Twilight, a series that's actually really popular with teen girls right now. Because nothing says "feminism" like mocking what girls read/watch. Especially if one's own franchise fits that category too, or used to. Girls clearly don't know what they should be enjoying, yes? Maybe they really need some male author to get right on that and tell them.
As much as I've ragged on Twilight myself, this really saddens me. Especially, because, from where I'm standing, Joss can't claim any righteousness with regard to his own series at the moment. And he's making himself look very petty, jealous and full of sour grapes.
