1. It's a one-hour drama produced by 20th Century Fox to air on Fox. The first of the seven episodes to which the network has committed could premiere as early as spring.
2. It's called Dollhouse because that's the nickname of the high-tech lab where a group of human chalkboards are kept between assignments.
3. Human chalkboards?! Yes! What else would you call characters like Dushku's Echo who can be given new memories, skills and even personalities, then stripped of them just as quickly, leaving them virtual children.
4. Whedon is the creator, head writer and executive producer, and perhaps in part because Dushku convinced him to do the show, she's getting a producer credit. (Fellow Buffyverse alum Tim Minear is also on board.)
5. I just got off the phone with both of them!
Joss's shit may be smug, and a lot of Buffy hasn't held up as much as I'd like, but he was the last person to do fun genre TV in the US. And nobody makes Nintendo fans look sane. Do I need to link you to some Amirox posts?
I dunno, who's that guy who makes smug asshole shows that always get cancelled
like Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies. he thinks his shit don't stink and has an annoying fanbase and is making quirky genre TV
if you liked wonderfalls and pushing daisies you would love this book:

And if you know of the existence of that album, you have probably tugged to a crudely modified version of this:

Hey look over there what's TVC drinking?

That pleasure cone is still only 25% as gay as Wonderfalls
are you saying there's something about gackt potentially "not straight"
Who else would hire Whedon except for Fox?SciFi, F/X, CW? Somebody with some kind of interest in letting a show percolate? Fox is notoriously impatient with any show that's not an instant hit, and almost every Whedon project has taken a while to find its audience.

Also, why are people that wrote 500-word loveletters to Blue Dragon even allowed to use the term "homojapual" as a pejorative?
white man is just j-curious
Joss Whedon should be shot for the last fifteen seasons of Buffy.
Fox should be pulled off the air for Arrested Dev.
TVC15 should be whipped just for the hell of it.
Also, I am annoyed by this insistence that the first season of Buffy didn't suck.

I guess I can't speak from legitimate experience, but Blue Dragon looked pretty japafruity to me. For reference, what jrpgs must you love to be pegged as an out-of-the-closet homojapual? :)
Also, I am annoyed by this insistence that the first season of Buffy didn't suck. Applying the same harsh standards that people put on S4-S7, it most certainly did.
Shit! I agree with White Man on pretty much everything. Though I really didn't like Faith.
Honestly I prefer the campiness of season one to the overwrought emotional nonsense the series became known for. Each episode had an angst ridden high school theme, some light comedy, mild horror elements, and Buffy dressed like a street walker. WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE. The first half of season two was gold too.
i can't watch that ep without rolling my eyes completely out of my skull and into my alien resurrection commemorative mug.
When the show was ending and there were lots of retrospectives being rewritten, proclaiming things like Buffy and Angel having sex being a metaphor for how sex changes relationships, I totally rolled my eyes. I see that as putting a significant amount of effort into coming up with a reading that supports a very juvenile, adolescent concept. If people see shit like that in Buffy and Angel's relationship, I think it's a sign that more people need to read god damned books, because they've frankly forgotten what depth is.
Any reading that paints the show as some grand metaphor ultimately falls apart when you realize that Sarah Michelle Gellar is the acting equivalent of Synbios, so whatever your brilliant reading happens to be is undermined by the fact that it probably wasn't planned, and it just so happened that SMG stumbled her way through so-and-so scene in such a way that supports your ridiculous theory.

Wait, what? Did I read you wrong, or are you seriously arguing that Buffy and Angel having sex (and most of the other plot points in the series) aren't meant to be metaphorical at all? You can claim the use of metaphor is shallow or silly or whatever, fine, but claiming it's not there is ridiculous. There's no "effort" involved in "coming up with a reading" because it's blatantly obvious.
