Joss is back on TV!!

I think Kristin may be right, this is the best news ever - and apparently, also the most productive trip to the bathroom ever.

Anyway, Joss Whedon has a new show, a 7 episode deal with Fox for a show called "Dollhouse," starring Eliza Dushku. Wheeeee! I'm a little surprised that he'd go back to Fox after the Firefly debacle, but that's where Eliza's contract was, so I guess he didn't really have a choice. Let's hope it works out better for them this time around. What do you think of the concept? It's an interesting premise (in a weird, "cowboys in space," only-Joss-could-come-up-with-it kind of way), and certainly has the potential for Eliza to play a wide variety of characters - almost an "Alias" idea, but more extreme - so that should keep it pretty fresh.

In other news, Heroes has canceled its "Origins" series. I'm not thinking that's a bad idea. They claim it has to do with the writers' strike, but I'm thinking it might also have something to do with Heroes SUCKING this season. More Heroes = not necessarily a good thing. Instead of coming up with 5 new characters that will never make it on the show, how about we concentrate on making the characters we already have interesting again?
