steverg	Joss Whedon's Terminator Nov 4 2009, 9:34 PM EST \| Post edited: Nov 4 2009, 9:34 PM EST Hasta la vista...er, maybe not. If Joss actually wrote the open letter, not only is it a spoof of the whole Hollywood "rights" charade, but it is a spoof of Joss...and a bad one at that. I can absolutely see Joss spoofing himself, but with a bit more finesse. The writing style is not his nor is the "approach" used in the spoof. Funny, yes. Joss, no. At least in my mind.

Wanted to get us wondering if he really had written the piece? Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Joss is a brilliant writer and the team he puts together with writing and acting can not be denied to be totally awesome. It's just to bad that so many of Joss endeavors, outside of Buffy and Angel, have been canceled after only one or two seasons. The Terminator idea might be a stretch even for Joss, but I know he probably could actually do it. Just hoping now that the Fox network doesn't become complete idiots and cancel one of Joss more astounding shows yet"Dollhouse". I love the way he always keeps you guessing with every little twist and turn, and just when you think you got it figured out another twist around the corner. Maybe it's time for Joss to think about buying Fox or starting his network station to air his fantastic shows. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Maybe he just wrote it quickly as a little joke without thinking it would spread like wildfire on the Web? Post reply Do you find this valuable?
