I didn't get a chance to read the whole post yet, but the part that stood out for me was the "sex leads to badness." That philosophy along with the whole true love is doomed view is annoying. It's actually the number one reason why I didn't watch Dollhouse and Dr. Horrible. And also why I didn't finish Firefly.
I love Joss Whedon, I really do. I think he's a creative genius and I owe him my beloved shows and characters. However, his ability to equate love/sex with death and violence gets old. And to spare myself of getting aggravated and sad each time a character gets killed off while they're in love...pisses. Me. Off. It was good the first dozen times when done right. But after awhile, dude...give it up. He's so much better than that and instead he just chooses to go the same route all the time.
