Joss Whedon - Harvard University Q&A [2009]

* A few clips from his work were shown before the questions at the beginning, but I had to take them out for copyright reasons. Clips shown :
- 0m01s : Serenity : Mal and Book conversation about faith
- 1m56s : Firefly, "Safe" : Simon confronting the crowd about to burn River as a witch
- 4m59s : Buffy, "The Body" : Anya's speech
- 10m03s : Angel, "Epiphany" : Angel's speech, "if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do".
In April 2009, Joss Whedon received the achievement award in Cultural Humanism at the Harvard's Memorial Church, and did this Q&A after his speech. This is probably the best one I've seen with Joss.

The late commentary on 'the powers that be' seems to me the very reason that Angel and Firefly were cancelled - there seems to be an directed attack against any show that might give people the impression that they can stand up to evil people and win even in small numbers. Veronica Mars was another show that went down the tubes after The lead character took on the world of the powerful and won. This is literally a network or networks that have told us what they will not allow us to see no matter how much we wish to see it - which is pointedly not the way things work in a market system. And that, to me, gives up the goods on what was going on. Audience share was through the roof on Firefly and you don't cancel a show that makes money or deny it access to the airwaves knowing the substantial audience involved if profit is the motive as they often insist. When profit isn't the motive, it should trouble everyone deeply.

Never have I ever seen a more awkward group of people. All these guys should have taken a class on how to have social skills..

But how would they be scientists and CEOs in their near future?
