Or going back to the Buffy days, those charmers who wished miscarriage on Marti Noxon when she was pregnant because they hated seasons 6 and 7 of BTVS.
THAT astonishes me to no end - except that it really doesn't given how women with any authority in our culture tend to be vilified (as do female heros like Katniss or Buffy. this was also the period when "Buffy's a bitch" was at it's height, and hasn't let up in some quarters.)
What's odd is that for all the fans who do love the later seasons now (as I do) I read little to no praise of Marti. The good stuff ends up being credited to Joss.
