This video makes me happy

Dollhouse may NOT be cancelled after all

Just saw this article (*Be warned the article has plot spoilers!*) in the Chicago Tribune.

Although Dollhouse tv ratings haven't been stellar, it's apparently done well on other platforms. so there's a chance it could return. Here's Joss Whedon's take on the subject:

"I assumed it was dead in the water because the network was refusing to air the thirteenth [episode]," Whedon said. "Not refusing, but just not interested. I assumed that meant the bell tolled for us. And they made a point of calling and saying, 'That is not what it means, and we'll keep you posted.'

"I think they want it to succeed. I think they're getting it," he added. "They need it to succeed enough for them to pay for it. So I'm oddly hopeful but I'm also ready for anything.""

Fingers crossed.

Some Blatherfeedback from Shane McEwan (for those of you who read my Waiting For Frodo comic strip, Shane was the Weta guy):

"I was disappointed by the early episodes of Dollhouse primarily because I was hoping for something more like Firefly. But as the show has progressed I’ve been enjoying it more. I ramble on about it in the latest episode of my OzPod podcast."

Thanks, by the way, for all the feedback in Livejournal as well.

Videos and Dollhouse sadness/confusion

Thanks to my friend Cathy for pointing me to this great video of Susan Boyle's impressive tv debut. Most of you have probably seen clips on tv, but Jeff and I don't have cable.

Speaking of tv, Jeff and I have been watching recorded episodes of Joss Whedon's new project, Dollhouse. Both of us have been enjoying it, and I -love- it. I was disappointed recently by rumours that Dollhouse may be cancelled. They're only rumours, though, right? RIGHT?

Jamming with Richard Hatch

Watched the end of the Battlestar Galactica series the other day. For fear of spoilers, I've decided not to talk about this except to say that I thought it was very cool how they wove in a bit of the original musical motif of the original series.
