All I ever heard was that Whedon admitted he loved the big "GOTCHYA" moments and that he wasn't too fussed about whether said "GOTCHYA" wasn't consistent with previously stated canon.
I mean, sure, it's Whedon's show, and he has a right to blow his own canon out of the water. But there's a reason why Buffy S6 and S7 descended into an exercise in fanwanking...in large part because that was about the point that the show began collapsing under its own WtF moments. (S7 is a clear-cut, on-screen demonstration of a show falling to shit on screen.)
