So Joss Whedon’s new show was disappointingly underwhelming – much weaker pilot than his previous series, it feels like he’s dialing it in (if even creatively involved at all). The story was all over the place and didn’t make sense, but most egregious, the characters were one dimensional and non-descript – what happened to the Scooby Gang, the dialog, the repartee?

And who cares about all this coy mention of Melinda May and other Marvel characters no one’s ever heard of?
