Aaron Sorkin & Joss Whedon (and Television)

Dear Aaron Sorkin & Joss Whedon,

Gods of my idolatry, I stand in awe of the work you've done and have only one request. Please come back to television. Not that I'm not a fan of the work you've done in other mediums. I loved Charlie Wilson's War, and Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, but the work you've done on television are some of the best stories ever told.

I don't know if you'll agree, though I suspect that you will, that television is a better medium for story telling than most others (with the possible exception of books). Television allows for more nuanced stories, and better character development.

But the medium on it's own is nothing. It needs writers who know what to do with it and you are those writers.

Love,
The Fan
