5 Reasons It Sucks Being Joss Whedon Fan

5 Most Maddeningly Unresolved TV Plot Lines

4. A Loose End Bugs Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Early in season one, Xander Harris, Buffy's endearingly pathetic sidekick, catches the eye of a substitute teacher who's really a giant, sex-hormone-secreting praying mantis. Sadly, this fling is the apex of Xander's sexual competence throughout the entire series.

She mates with virginal men and kills them post-coitus, thereby sparing them either the embarrassment of losing one's virginity to a giant insect, or at least the burden of a lifelong giant insect fetish, Spider-Woman notwithstanding.

Luckily, Buffy saves the day and preserves Xander's innocence. Unluckily for Sunnydale High, the episode ends with a cache of hidden she-mantis eggs hatching in the science room!

Why It's Maddening:

We never see the creepy sex-mantises again.

Plenty of lesser shows allow minor plots to meander off into nothingness, but this is Buffy, a show notorious for never, ever letting plot threads die, no matter how mind-bendingly convoluted (see: Dawn, Buffy's magical, whiny real-not real hallucination of a sister).

So yeah, Joss Whedon, we're calling you out on this: Where the hell are our sex bugs? And while we're at it, can we have Eliza Dushku too?

We get that the episode's statutory rape subplot may not have jibed with the WB's family-friendlier fare, but this is Buffy. Every other week some vampire/demon/yeti tries to kill Buffy/enslave mankind/take Willow to a gay pride parade. In Sunnydale terms, some Mary Kay Letourneau action would register on the low end of the weird-o-meter.

Just watched the Bones season premiere. David is looking good! Booth and Brennan just need to do it already, though.

Thoughts on True Blood 2.10 New World In My View

Joss Whedon's cult hit "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" didn't end when the TV show went off the air, but rather continued its "8th Season" as a comic book. A recent storyline included a "True Blood"-esque public announcement that vampires exist, leading ditzy blonde vampire Harmony to land her own reality show called "Harmony Bites!" and do the rounds on the talk show circuit.

Harmony even visited Stephen Colbert on "The Colbert Report," in a recent two-page comic on Dark Horse Presents, where she offered to sire the satirical talk show host and referred to the wrinkles of her transformed forehead as her "Colbert bumps."
