Joss Whedon wants to kill Oz; Ron Moore picks Cylons with darts

One of my favorite and underused characters of Buffy has always been Oz. He’s had some of the best lines of the series, only having been on the show for two seasons and change. It always bugged me that we never got some clear closure to the character and never really found out what happened during his long hiatus, when he was temporarily “cured” of his werewolfiness (though I hear there’s a comic book about it).

Being a fan of both Joss Whedon and Ron Moore’s work, the fourth season premiere of Robot Chicken is fraking hilarious. Not only does it perfectly poke fun at Seth Green, Joss Whedon, Ron Moore and Seth MacFarlane, but it’s voiced by them all as well!

If you check out the version available online, you’ll get an added treat: Seth Green and Matthew Senreic add video commentary to almost the entire episode. If you watch the bottom-right of the video screen, you’ll see a tiny TV icon appear. Just click that when it appears and the commentary videos play.

Some highlights:

• Joss Whedon referring to “Whedonverse” (and Seth Green’s reaction to it).
• Ron Moore’s method for choosing Cylons (and who he picks in this scene).
• C-3PO winning MacFarlane a Pepsi jacket; “Scooby Jew”

Now if I can just stop watching the first portion of the episode repeatedly and watch the rest….
