Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse... but you take a boat in the air that you don't love... she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down... tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.  -Mal

After 5 years, Joss Whedon is back on his own TV set       E-mail

Well, it's happening.  Today is the first day of shooting on DOLLHOUSE.  I'd say it's been a long journey - and I'm sure it has felt like it for Joss and chums (yes, I'm British, I'm allowed to use that word) - but in terms of the gestation period for your average TV show it's actually been pretty quick.  So far.  Let's not jinx things.

Provided there's not some major disagreements on things from all parties involved (He's too big!, She's too depressing!, Can't there not be dolls?) I think we're looking at an early fall premiere, my spider sense tells me.  You'll start seeing promotional material for the show within one month.  Yeah, one month.  Excited yet?

So, Joss Whedon is back on the lot.  He once asked me -- you know, jokingly -- to invent something which lets him talk to all the world at once.  There's no way of doing that (although Rick Astley keeps trying), but as I said at the time, there is something better - television.  People watch it, and not all of them to purely pass the time to their graves.  It makes people think.  It infests their dreams, and their lives.  It can be silly, stupid, amazing and heartbreaking.  Or it can be Fear Factor.  It's a powerful medium which has shaped my life, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person in that position.

Welcome back to television, Joss.  We missed you.



And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

There are some backbirths on FFF.net that are calling Joss a traitor because he is going back to F*X.

Did they really boycott F*X, themselves?
We didn't, but the number of shows we watch on FoX I can count on two fingers.

I haven't checkout that site in a while.
