Joss:

YOU DA MAN!

You are just so awesome, I don’t even know how to tell you how awesome you are. But I guess you already know that. About how awesome you are.

I didn’t start watching Buffy until it was already off the air, but that show was really really good. How did you come up with ideas for all of those monsters and stuff? Was the show really a parable about how teenagers feel their lives are spiraling violently out of control — dealing with peer pressure, puberty, and the pressures of looming adulthood, all the while hoping and praying for a light of mystical truth to shine down on them to reassure them that they really are special and that a greater destiny waits for them, ultimately justifying all of the crap they have to live through in the meantime? Or was it just an incredibly kick-ass show about hot chicks beating down on some seriously messed up vampires and zombies? It’s cool with me either way.

And Firefly rocked. The movie was cool, too, but that show was way ahead of its time. Those network suits should get their heads checked! No way it deserved to be cancelled. I cried when I read that. Seriously. And I’m a guy.

I work in IT support for Comcast, repairing computers around the office and installing new networking software and stuff like that. Anyway, I was bringing new firewall protection up online when this guy in the next cube said that you’d pulled out of the Wonder Woman movie. Or that there’d been some problem with the studio, or some crap like that. That totally blows! I think you should take your idea to another studio and make it there. We believe in you! Maybe you could even have Spike — from Buffy — show up in Wonder Woman as some kind of vampire double-agent. You know, they could work side by side, fighting off zombie terrorists or something, but then you don’t really know if you can ever trust him, because maybe he’s working for the other side, and then, you know, hello? He’s a vampire! That would really rock. Think about it.

Anyway, my soda break is over now, and I have to go help some suit figure out how to enter his stupid e-mail password. I mean, come on! It’s not like it’s rocket surgery. You still totally rock, and I hope you make a sequel to Serenity! YOU HAVE TO BRING WASH BACK! HE CAN’T BE DEAD!

Your number one most awesome fan,
Ted

p.s. I am a leaf on the wind! Wash can’t die!

p.p.s. Do you look in the mirror every morning and think, Damn! I’m awesome! ???
(you should. cuz it’s SO true.)
