Tabz — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 21:36:18 +0000

Join Kim, Tabz and Andrew as they talk about how awesome Felicia Day is (still) and how to win all of your enemies over by buying a copy of The Guild on DVD. Liane gives us some sweet trivia. Heidi brings us a Guild “Character of the Episode” for Clara. Thanks to David for our awesome panel recording of Felicia Day from the Farpoint Convention! The Mars Effect gets pimped out (and Tabz makes a HIMYM reference). Tabz gets boxed in and forgot about “Big Bang Theory”. Andrew reads some Joss’d fanmail (thanks Hammond!) and Kim & Tabz answer it after dissolving into giggles.

To Be Real! Joss and the Female Character

Rhayne Guzman — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:49:24 +0000

If there one thing Joss Whedon does well, it’s writing female characters that are real and whole.

However, there has been some debate as to whether the female characters of ‘Dollhouse’ will “flesh out” to be of the same caliber as his previous “Lady Leads.” I have to admit, there have been a few things in the fledgling show that sparked debate amongst my mates as well. Interestingly enough, there are other fans of the show that are venturing out to write how they feel about ‘Echo’ and the girls of ‘Dollhouse.;

Alyssa Rosenberg of The Atlantic has written an interesting essay on Joss Whedon and his great ability to create such amazing female characters. Beyond that, she explores some of the aspects of ‘Echo’ and the ‘Dollhouse’ that many of us are thinking, but few are saying! Her article “Joss Whedon and the Real Girl” is a good read that will definitely cover some of the thoughts you may have already had!

Read. Think. Enjoy

Joss’d News: Can NASA Launch ‘Serenity’ Again?

Rhayne Guzman — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:51:17 +0000

No, NASA won’t be fronting the money for a sequel to one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. Though we can dream!

However, NASA is looking to name the International Space Station’s Node 3 and have turned to the public for help. The statement on the NASA website is this;

NASA wants your opinion in naming the International Space Station’s Node 3 – a connecting module and its cupola. The name should reflect the spirit of exploration and cooperation embodied by the space station, and follow in the tradition set by Node 1- Unity- and Node 2- Harmony.

To stay within those parameters, the available choices are; Venture, Legacy, Eathrise, and awesomely, SERENITY! We have an amazing opportunity to impact both space and the fandom! Voting will remain open until March 20, 2009 and the results released in April. Serenity is currently in the lead with an outstanding 86% of the vote!

Thanks to Jason over at ActiveDollhouse for the heads-up.

Read. Vote. Lauch!

Many Whedonites have been anxiously awaiting several mentioned DC Comics-based films written and/or directed by Mr. Whedon for some time now. But they have yet to show. Now you can find out why!

In an interview with Maxim (presented by The Geek Files blog), Mr. Whedon explains the differences of DC Comics and Marvel Comics characters. He also explains that DC Comics characters are, “DC’s heroes are from a different era. They’re from the era when they were creating gods.”

Well, with the script and film for Wonder Woman scrapped, you can see where he is coming from. Maybe some day the Film PTBs will realised just how good a Whedon-DC Comic charater movie would be!

Read. Analyse. Enjoy!
