Joss Whedon

Joss talked about the storyline of season 7 (Buffy started to take the fight to the big bad and stopped waiting for the first to attack her) and that it coincided with Bush’s talks about invading Iraq. Joss and the writers were concerned that the storyline would be interpreted as pro-Bush.

Joss also said that Buffy is living in a more real world than Bush, because she acknowledges the consequences of her actions, which Bush doesn’t do.

Infos about Serenity: The story was influenced by current events - even more than Joss could have predicted. It is about how you should not impose your beliefs on a whole world, because this will lead to a totalitarian regime despite good intentions.

Joss also joked about the fact that he would not give Bush the job of a villain in any of his projects.
