(Actually, I'd be hard pressed to say whether I liked "Silence in the Library" or "Dr. Horrible" more. I might give Dr. Horrible the edge, because Silence was a little too derivative of "The Time Traveler's Wife".)
Fuck Doctor Who. Rusty Davies is an imbecile. The actual vote is *Stephen Moffat* (and product) versus *Joss Whedon* (and product), and anyone who picks Whedon given that is an illiterate, incompetent asshole, by definition.
You misunderstand. I'm claiming that people don't see the Hugos as purely producer/product versus producer/product, which explains why "Turn Left" might have cost "Silence" the win. That is precisely what happened.
(apart from Jekyll and his work on Doctor Who, I'm not overwhelmingly impressed with Moffat. Coupling was amusing enough, but it was essentially Friends with knob jokes.)
I have found Moffat to be consistently better than contemporary competitors. And, as mentioned before, I wouild consider the universe a better place if Whedon was killed and left in a grave never to be discovered by human efforts.
Not sure what he did to earn your antipathy, but Buffy remains one of my favorite shows of all time, as was Firefly. Dr. Horrible was just really, really fun to watch.
And, as I said, the entire River Song subplot from Silence in the Library/Forests of the Dead was blagged in whole cloth from the Time Travelers Wife. I loved the episodes, and I love that book, but that part was completely blagged.
Because Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the movie, was offensively terrible. Because Buffy The TV Show wasn't any better, nor was The Buffy Spinoff, and "Buffy... in... SPAAAAAACE" actively worked to offend further. Follow that up with Dollhouse?
Holy shit.
Whedon's fetishes are disturbingly clear AND, in addition to being a CREEPY FUCKING ASSHOLE on the level of theferrett and his "Open Source Boobs Project", he's a bad writer who can't write a story that he's not obviously jerking off to.

Whedon's fetishes are disturbingly clear AND, in addition to being a CREEPY FUCKING ASSHOLE on the level of
He's CREEPY.
