WHEDON'S WINKS, NODS, AND NUDGES
A big-time Joss fan follows all his work: TV, film, and comic books. A really astute Joss fan may also be aware of the film scripts on which he is an uncredited contributor. A dedicated Browncoat might even know which lines of Joss’s made it to final shooting scripts. Being a Joss devotee adds the joy of finding little nods to fans all over his body of work. Once detected, these winks, nods, and nudges make you feel like you're in on a little something extra.
