Joss Whedon answers 11 questions, watch the video above.  I guess this is a Dollhouse promo thing but I noticed there are no questions about Dollhouse in the list… most curious.

Questions I liked

• Fears:  This is a great question to ask
• Favorite Food:  I think he would have gone nuts if he got to try the ones I had at Shore Leave convention last summer.
• Favorite Movie:  I would have to agree
• Favorite Actress:
• Worst Food:  his answer made me laugh so hard

I would love to ask Joss Whedon

• Are you planning on continuing Dollhouse after season 2?
• Do you expect it to continue in a serialized video show format or will it go into comic format like Buffy?

What questions would you like to ask Joss Whedon?

Wondering what Alpha is up to after the events of Dollhouse season one?

Allan Tudyk will be returning as Alpha to reclaim that which he lost, Omega.  He will be returning in the episodes A Love Supreme airing Friday December 11th.

Plot:  When Echo’s past romantic engagements are found murdered, the Dollhouse fears that Alpha has returned to seek his revenge. Adelle grows suspicious of Ballard who hopes to find allies in Boyd and Topher. The Actives turn against their handlers, leaving one member of the house permanently mind-wiped.

“Joss Whedon has mastered the art of melding the newest technology with inspired storytelling, truly exemplifying the spirit of the Vanguard Award,” said David Friendly and Laurence Mark, co-chairs of the PGA Awards.

It’s great that the Producers Guild of America is recognizing Joss Whedon’s achivements.  Creator of great shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Dollhouse and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.  I can’t wait to see his next project.

Hopefully from Joss’ great experience with Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog the next project will be another independent project.

Dollhouse returns to appointment TV this Friday with a two part episode titled Left Hand.  In it we get to see Summer Glau play the role of Bennett Halverson.  It still saddens me to know that the show is canceled but I look forward to see where the rest of the season is going.

Synopsis: Echo is sent in to stop Senator Daniel Perrin before he can expose the Dollhouse’s secrets. Adelle and Topher travel to Washington, D.C. Dollhouse where they meet it’s genius programmer, Bennett Halverson (Summer Glau), a woman with a mysterious past connection to Echo.

Topher meets with head programmer Bennett in the DC Dollhouse.  Could you imagine the depth of the “D.C. Madam” scandal if the madam was actually the head of the DC Dollhouse.

Joss Whedon has agreed to direct one of the back nine episodes that Fox just ordered. -EW

This comes as bitter-sweet news since Fox will be canceling Dollhouse.

Sweet

Joss is a big fan of Glee which comes as no big surprise for several reasons.

• The show rocks!
• The music is great
• The messages behind the story is both challenging and edifying

I’m stoked to find Joss is directing an episode. He is brilliant director who also shares in a passion for music. His episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Once More, with Feeling and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog are testaments to his acumen in that field. Personally I hope the episode he directs is the one where Will and Finn find out that they have been lied to about their fatherhood.

Bitter

The bitter part of this news is that it comes out on the back of Fox’s announcement of canceling Dollhouse. I have been silent so far on this subject because I feel a long string of expletives wont solve any thing.

If Fox thinks this move will appease the fans for all of the BS over Dollhouse then they are more foolish then originally believed. There is a coming storm but Fox will find it a quiet one. Fox doesn’t respect Joss, they don’t respect the fans and so I will not support them. They are lucky that Glee is over there it’s the last Fox show I watch. They should thanks their lucky stars that they didn’t cancel Glee like they originally wanted to before it got a chance to air.

On the plus side Joss is free of them once again and I hope that he goes independent with Dollhouse or at least with his next project. I can’t wait for Doctor Horrible 2 and other projects out of Joss Whedon Digital Studio.

This show is not safe for work!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if 5 high school friends discovered power suits, were forced to leave their dreams behind, and had to fight cosmic super villains while struggling with racism, promiscuity, and alcoholism?  Then you must check out MegaBot at Atom.

Fran Kranz (Topher from Dollhouse) stars in this funny send up of the super team genre.

Megabot, Ep. 1

Megabot, Ep. 2

Funny.  Irreverent.  My only problem with the series is that it is on Atom.com who does not offer any options to subscribe to the series so you know why new episodes are out.

What do you thing?
