One could hope there'd ultimately some riff on Watchmen themes, but as I just said to Rahirah, the latest from Meltzer kind of underscores just how vacuous all of this really is. Apparently we have been offered a beautiful explanation of how the Buffyverse works, and I'm sitting here going huh? What explanation? Very weird. I don't think all of Whedon's works work, but when they fail I can at least understand how or why. Maybe his deal with the evil genius genie expired and he's doing a public Flowers for Algernon dive.
