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

I spent a good while chatting with the one and only Joss Whedon (pinch me!), who told me they he just wrapped on the pilot shoot for Dollhouse Friday, and that he has a very good feeling about the series because "Eliza Dushku can play anything, and in this series, she does." Can. Not. Wait. He also very kindly shared this info about the show:

    *  Joss directs the second episode as well as the finished-on-Friday pilot, just to get things rolling.
    * Sarah Fain and Elizabeth Craft are the show runners.
    * Steve DeKnight and Tim Minear are both consulting producers on the series.
    * Tim is writing and directing the midseason two-parter, namely episodes seven and eight.
    * Joss would love to get Jane Espenson to join the gang too, if he could, but she's on Battlestar at the moment and the show's budget might not permit it. (Is it just me or do you want to send Fox a check right about now?)
    * As reported earlier this week, Dollhouse will go at midseason, and, according to Joss, it's likely premiering in January.
    * There is no Dollhouse presentation planned at the Fox event, but Eliza Dushku might appear on behalf of the show.
    * Joss: "I'm still having so much fun. I keep waiting for it to not be fun anymore."
    * Joss needs your/our help promoting Dr. Horrible when it comes out, because the marketing group for that little online musical is...him. I'll make the wheat paste for the posters, you print up the flyers, 'kay?
And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

Dollhouse has been picked up for 13 episodes, midseason replacement.

I read that .
Good stuff .

Now here's to hoping Joss et al have the common decency to map out a thirteen ep arc that can stand on it's own so if it does get axed there's at least a semblence of closure .

I'm hoping that Joss has the forethought to film all 13 episodes before it airs, so we can get the DVD set when Fox cancels it after the first commercial break.
