• Buffy fandom bitches about Mari Noxon, Riley, and Dawn.
Bitching about the details is one of the highest forms of fandom flattery; it says that the world of the show (movie, whatever) is real enough to the fan that the parts that don't ring true -- or the characters who do ring true, but are just plain annoying -- get a reaction.
Marti Noxon (Buffy lead writer, later executive producer) has said in interviews that while it hurt a little to be called out by name on the 'Net, 99% of TV writers producers don't get that attention not because they do a better job, but because viewers don't care who's behind the words.
