Although your previous reviews have given much more analysis to the material as opposed to my own "is Joss trying to brutally sodomize his own creation, on purpose?" reaction.
Well, I tried, but... Even if I try to analyse what I think Joss is going for (half of which seems to turn out to just be mistakes or Stuff We're Not Supposed To Pay Attention To) I just don't think it works well enough to make it worthwhile for me. Others, who do care about it, do a better job of it anyway. I'm just bored by it at this point.
"It might be official, but no way is it canon."
Personally, I think it's made a lot easier with the shift in medium (and continuity and characterisation and...) The TV series is the TV series, the comics are the comics, and never (so far) the twain shall meet. :-) Canon schmanon.
