I would count it as a personal favor if Joss never, ever, ever used dubious consent in his stories again.

However, seeing as they keep cropping up in everything he's been involved in, I doubt this will happen.

What I really want to know is: WHY? Having Buffy find out she's pregnant? Perfectly acceptable plotline. Could be good or bad, depending on how it's handled. But WHY FOR THE LOVE OF SLAYERS DOES THE CONCEPTION NEED TO INVOLVE DUBIOUS CONSENT? If he wanted the father to be a mystery to drag things out, he could just have it happen offscreen and then have Buffy refusing to talk about it. And if he wants the dad to be a non-entity, he could have easily had her have a PERFECTLY CONSENSUAL one-night stand with someone who isn't important to the story.

The fact that he made the decision that he did...I just can't deal with this right now. Even if we've gotten some awesome fic out of it already. That's what I'll stick with.

Also: Scott Allie has made me not like him again. Way to go, dude.

Oh dear... Thank you for the explanation. I'll just read a summary of the two comics seasons and be done with it. I mean, I'm well aware of all the issues within the show itself, but what I hear about the comics makes me go: O_O

After you read the summaries, you can view some reenactments of them (that I made with Barbie dolls and are not in any way a complete mocking of the comics, no sir *lies*):

IDW Comics' version of post-TV AtS is included in the reenactments, too -- I just jumbled 'em all up together. ;D
