I'm told therapy isn't effective for narcissistic personality disorder, which I'm more and more thinking Joss has. Ugh.
Oh well, we'll always have Buffy regardless of how much an ass he shows himself to be. (And it's not as if there weren't hints back when it was airing.)
I can’t help but think that crack he made about “I don’t have anything else to do, might as well work on myself” is extremely accurate
Well, he's got plenty of work to do, but I think that interview shows he's not up for the job. A friend and I were talking, and we kind of think Joss is a narcissist and a sociopath.
The "bad actor" b.s. he spewed about Ray Fisher was downright Trumpian. Then there was the appalling story about sending the 22-year-old freelancer he was bedding off for drinks with a "friend" who ended up being his girlfriend, not to mention breaking up with Arden Leigh, the night before her birthday, even though she'd previously told him a birthday breakup was among her most painful memories.
I mean, did he collect stories in advance, so he wouldn't have to come up with humiliations all on his own?
What I was trying to express but not using enough words to really do so, I think, is that he’s not actually doing the work. If he is an addict he isn’t in recovery.
This was really clear to me last night as I was falling asleep but harder to pin down this morning, but the thing I keep coming back to is how very banal his evil is, how much like every other guy like that he has turned out to be, practically a cliche. Not even an interesting villain.

That was how I read you, -t. I'm sorry my response reads like it wasn't. I should have used a "Yup" and an "and," rather than a "Well," and a "but."

It is so banal. His villainy is of the season 6 variety.

He's no Mayor Wilkins, that's for sure.
Does anyone else miss Mayor Wilkins - I just want to be a big snake.
Yes, frequently in recent years.
I've been having increasing trouble with (lack of) attention span. Several times this week I've caught myself thinking, and even saying aloud, "Bored now."
Thank goodness my mic was muted.
