Welcome to Whedon’s Dollhouse

Yea!

You can read about Joss Whedon’s new project Dollhouse with Eliza Dushku here and here. Let me say again, YEA!

Perhaps I am just overly hopeful since this season’s television, including favorites of mine from last year have been so terrible, but I’m excited about the idea of having some creative Joss Whedon ideas and dialogue on the small screen. I have minor concerns that I may have outgrown Joss’ style, in that though I still love my Buffy I’m forced to admit that I can’t be sure I would be as obsessed with it today as I was then. However, his work on the Buffy comic is current and great and totally enjoyed by me, and as mentioned earlier here, his Astonishing X-Men (also current) is totally brilliant. So okay, I’ve decided I’m excited no matter what. Yea next year! Boo to this year!

On a related sidenote, NBC is scrapping the Heroes Orgins show that was set to air in the spring, during the Heroes regular season hiatus. The official word is that it’s because of the writer’s strike issues, but I suspect it’s more because Heroes currently stinks to high heaven and who wants a spin-off of stinkage.

    In the meantime you might wanna dance to this little mashup we did with the Buffy titles:

    Buffy The Slayer & The Angel of Death

    Check out Joss on the front lines fo the WGA Strike. He gives a quick nod to Dollhouse :)

    I hope the strike gets over in time for his team to turn out the first few scripts to get this show on the air for 2008!
