My heart goes out to Joss Whedon. The man has a talent that I haven't seen in anyone else. He makes up all these characters for a TV show and I can honestly say that I have an affection for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, even the evil characters.
I'd like to say that J.J. Abrams is just like that too, but he isn't. There's a few characters that I don't like or I don't think worked. For Joss Whedon, that's not true. I love that man!!!!
