Dollhouse has been renewed, which is good news but it doesn't make up for the cancellation of Firefly..
According to the Guardian, Serenity, Firefly's theatrical offspring, might even be better than Star Wars.
bq, Firefly won almost as many awards as it had episodes aired, sold DVDs by the shipload and ended up on the big screen in the form of 2005's possibly-better-than-Star-Wars Serenity.
I'm not going to disagree with that statement...with the possible exception of Boba Fett.
Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse premiered on Friday night. It's only the second show in the last three years that I'm going to be watching on a regular basis. 30 Rock is one of the others, of course, and this year's Fringe has done a great job of holding my attention.
Whedon's history is good with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and of course Firefly and the movie it spawned--"Serenity":imdb.
Something struck me about Whedon's writing while I was watching Dollhouse: he's got a reputation for writing strong female characters and, while this is true, he also seems to write replaceable female characters.
What exactly does this mean?
